Did Thibs royally mess up on his way to another win? He keeps winning but is also so terrible. If he wins a championship with this clown coaching and crazy starters minutes I am done with this team.

Is this sarcasm?

Yes. He did. Thankfully we have the talent to overcome his mistakes. Hopefully we can do it when it matters most but, odds are that will take a couple of miracles. The Hawks are not the Celtics/Cavs/Thunder etc. Both can be true. Both are true. His coaching decisions almost cost us that game.

We still play Cleveland and Boston 5 more times and if we get everyone back I’m not scared of either team and looking forward to flipping the script

Best PG since Clyde and one of the best PG in the league.

I love this comment, so it’s thibs fault that KAT threw a soft ass pass or did’t box out on the missed free throw. Yes should they have called a timeout, yea..but an nba all star should throw a better inbound pass in that situation. You thibs haters never want to place blame on the player and take the easy way out by blaming the person who’s not on the floor..

He shouldn't have been making that pass at all. It almost cost us the game. That's on the coach. You Thibs lawyers keep spinning facts to confuse the jury. You admit he made a mistake that resulted in sending the game to over time where we almost lost. Stop there and face the truth bro.

there also comes a point where players have to execute and not do painfully stupid things on the basketball court like when Shamet just threw the ball away at the end of the 3rd quarter which gave them the last shot(which they made) when we should have had the last shot. All these blunders over the course of a game add up. A coach is going to make a mistake here or there especially with the benefit of hindsight but the players also need to cut back on unforced errors and focus

The pass by KAT was bad, Mikal being light and easy to move out the way also played a role why Daniels got around him so fast. KAT not boxing out also was bad. Nothing to do with coaching

But the worst play was the stupid foul by Hart. That play actually cost us 2 points. Fouling Trae there was just stupid

As i said should a timeout have been called yes, but to not expect the starting all star to make a simple in bound pass is ridiculous. Thibs admitted he should have called a timeout, however that still doesn’t take away the fact that KAT made a horrible pass..99.9% they inbound, player gets fouled game over you don’t even look at the coach, BUT because the PLAYER messed up, now it looks bad the coach didn’t call a timeout. Simple if KAT executed the simplest thing in the nba, you aren’t having the discussion

On the other hand with Trae being hot if he didn’t foul him maybe we are discussing a 1 point loss in regulation, which leads to the next stupid thing, why with the game tied do they go for a Brunson fadeaway 3 pointer? Was it drawn up that way? We inbounded the ball to him in midrange and he ran out to the 3 point line. Why? Drive. Maybe you get a foul. Maybe you have time to dish it. You don’t need a 3

I agree that players should execute better. What are they executing? The HC game plan. We have struggled with the inbound pass for 5 seasons now. Maybe he needs to coach up better plays? It works both ways. Mentioning something that happened in the third qtr? This happened at the end of the game!!His decision led to a mistake that almost cost is the game. Period. The player is second on that list. It was an egregious mistake on Thibs and it was followed by a bad play that NEVER should have happened.

Well like you say it works both ways so to me they all deserve some share of the blame for these plays. It’s hard for me to say for sure from one to the next because we don’t know what the game plan actually is, so all I can do is speculate, was the player executing the HC game plan when they did *insert bad decision* or did they just decide to do whatever they wanted in the moment? Or is doing whatever you want the game plan itself? the momentum changing plays at the end of quarters can be back breaking though. It’s actually bothering me how often we don’t properly hold for the last shot and a player seemingly makes a judgement call to go early ignore the clock and push it. No idea if this is part of any game plan but more often than not I don’t think it’s working out

[Jeff Van Gully]

A 9-2 record heading into the break is really good. We also did not have OG for 5 of those games.

That was an ugly win, but every team has ugly wins and bad losses we just don't follow those other teams every single night.

10-2 actually.

Gonna be a tall task. The Bulls are (I think) 2-0 against us this year. The Grizzlies are just as good at us and are reeling from the beatdown we put on them last time and will seek revenge. 76ers are bad but everyone steps it up when they play the Knicks and then we have Cleveland and Boston who are 3-0 combined against us. And we don’t even know if everyone will be back yet. 4-1 in this stretch and we are winning the championship all gas no breaks

Brunson doesn’t have the quickness to beat a guy off the dribble so there wasn’t enough time on the clock for him to use the multiple dribble combinations he needs to drive to the basket. He was probably also looking to avoid traffic in the lane.
