Have you mentioned the inbound play yet, that's crucial to a win.

Regular season stats don’t mean much, yet they keep giving Thibs undeserved credit.

OG, Deuce, and Hukporti didn’t play.

That’s actually how much OG means to the team he’s basically the entire defense he’s the real life version of what people think Mitch is

We are last in the NBA in 3 pt defense and 14th in 2 pt defense and OG was healthy for all those games.

One player won’t save an awful defense.

This is a combination of personnel and coaching.
Thank you, Rick Brunson.

Thibs coaching is laugh worthy. Way to hold on boys with your last breath... literally.

This is true

I wonder if I should watch again and see if MB stopped Trae … he helped and maybe I had gametime hysteria

However he seems basically out of the offense

That's gone too far. Tell that to those play-in teams and the Flagg chasers. Regular season counts, but that isn't equal to championship.

Can Thibs just have a full practice of inbounds plays only. Is that too much to ask?

Yet we still have a top 5 record in the league because we are top 4 team in ppg. This is an offense focused team, it’s not the same kind of team we are used to watching for the past several years.

Thibs is really checked out — how does he not just call a timeout to advance it

Guess what Thibs you’re getting paid to manage the game carefully

Not every game will be a blowout. We had a comfortable lead. We blew it. Nobody can claim we didn’t deserve this win. Great game by Precious. We knew what he was capable of but I love that he is more comfortable mixing it up on the offensive end. Not everything is a dunk or a putback. I just hope that Thibs doesn’t stop giving him significant minutes after everyone is back. He deserves consistent minutes. Starters deserve some rest.

Shamet 2 for 3. Thibs needs to play the bench more. It did seem he was saving Brun till the end today though.

and we did shoot 57% and 43% from 3pts. Hawks managed 50% and 36%. So good for us there. Beat on the boards; we could use a Okongwu of our own.

we on a b2b and our legs we shot at the end of that game because we didn't use the bench enough earlier.

also you cant have 2 timeouts up 4 under your own basket with under 10 seconds left and let your center inbounds the ball. That is simply unacceptable.

You call a timeout and inbounds the ball at half court to have the entire court to inbounds. Like how is that being glossed over?

Niang played 34 minutes, we didn't go at him one single time in the 4th or OT. That is the most minutes he's played all season and only the second time he's played more than 30, because anytime he steps on the court he's the target....except against us.
