Brunson looks like he is taking it personally that Dame is ahead of him in the All-Star voting

Ego agenda. Sad.

[Wildcat]

Unfortunately this is it, this is the only way we will win games
Both KAT and Brunson need to go for 30+ each game

Nothing wrong with that if others are doing their job. Bench providing 20 points. I would imagine Bridges will have a few looks to start the 3rd. Until his legs gets back, OG's 3's should be from the corner. Those elbow or straight on 3's aren't working.

Thibs is an idiot in many ways.. he has to test both Kolek and Warren with the starters, and even Hukporti... you cant do moves or try to land someone off the waivers if you dont know what you have in the house!!

And Brunson is deadly in two PG lineups... We went on a run in 2013 when we inserted Prigioni in the SL... we need to do the same with Kolek and play 11 man rotations... with Sims and Shamet spot minutes, Warren at least 10 mins per game (our version of Cavs Jefferson/Frye)

[Jalen Bluntson]

The bench is actually getting some points and we are winning. Brunson is looking healthy and we are winning. Three ball is dropping and we are winning. Defense isn't that bad either.

We already have 32 minutes from the bench and 20 pts. Bridges is going for 40+ minutes as usual but, I'll take the rest.

Shamet hurt?

Deuce is back. A Thibs bench is only so deep.

Brunson letting all star game votes get to him

He should. Despite his recently struggles, JB should be one of the starting guards.

The only thing he should be taking personally is that good teams run us out of the gym.

Shamet hurt?

8 man rotation. It's never gonna stop. Thibs is that dense. What's he gonna do when Mitch comes back? Bye Precious.

[Iron Mantis]

Shamet hurt?

Deuce is back. A Thibs bench is only so deep.

A Thibs bench maxes out at 3 players.

Minutes are somehow down.

Brunson doesnt need to prove anything... his outside shooting has been bad since 27th of January 2024

The difference his season is the fact that we lack two players that helped him be aggressive going to the paint/basket (iHart who played great in handoffs and Pick n Roll and was a menace on the off glass so he had more roam to operate... and also Divo who scored from 3pt rande like crazy and that also opened up lanes and space for Brunson to attack)

unless he completely heals his wrists, ankles and calves, his shooting will suffer even more just because of the psycological aspects of the game (both from opp teams adjusting and our team sucking from the dead legs and dead coaching staff)

[TKKnicks1]

Shamet hurt?

Thibs will say in post game that it's all about matchups and that's why he didn't play and was forced to play Bridges 46 minutes today.

[TKKnicks1]

Bridges goes scoreless last game so his solution is to not shoot at all this game.

OG had no lift and bricked a lay up

Atta boy Tom!!

Remember. OG is generally a 45 games per year player, so this is close to his wall

I've profiled OG in my new book:

"How To Get Paid a Million Dollars a Day Every Day at Work"

We have never been able to beat contenders consistently, you were saying the right thing, but for the wrong reasons.







Captain of the ship keeps heading towards icebergs and we blaming the ship for sinking? Thibs ain't the man for this city.

It's debatable if it's a thibs problem or a roster issue, or maybe a combination of both which I think it likely is imo. But all I knew is that this team currently, ain't it and people were in denial about it.

We have the hardest schedule in the nba now so that's likely gonna lead to a coaching change or a big trade.

The roster is fine, the general directing the men isn't. It's not at all debatable, give this roster to Mazzulla or any other coach under 60 and we'd be taking 50 threes a game like the Celtics, instead we're 24th in the league. The man has a sports car and is using it like it's an F-150.

That Thibs pack gonnna hit like the powerball

There is def some roster issues going on. KAT should not be our anchor at the 5 on defense. He has a DFG% of 66.7% protecting the rim in the January. Love how dominant he is on offense but we're misplaying him at the 5. Hopefully Mitch will help mitigate those issues or we can trade for someone like Myles Turner. Another roster issue was overpaying like crazy for Mikal. There was just not a need for him. Mikal can't space the floor since his shot is broken and his defense is ass like it's been for the past couple of years. Along with those issues, Thibs is playing our guys a lot of mins so there is plenty of blame for everyone. And then you have Josh hart talking about our players have egos and agendas. This team is just a mess. I'm missing the game rn, but at least we know we can beat a bucks team that has doc rivers and washed dame.

[DaGawd]

at least we own the bucks

[Iron Mantis]

Praise the lawd!!!! OG CAN DUNK AGAIN!!!

[offense]

good start
