2/8 from 3, if they don't start hitting shots it's gonna be a long game

Brunson too. The combination of both is a disaster. Did you see that one play where they had no clue what they were doing and Tatum just ran around them for the dunk? This is embarrassing

Maybe Mitch helps idk man. KAT can’t play C to much against these type of teams


Our offense is way bigger issue. Vs good teams we get no easy looks. Because we don't run an actual offense. Just hope and pray brunson or KAT creates offense through iso and P&R


the team's identity changed losing hart/mitch. the team would crash the o-boards and generate a ton of 2nd chance points. that's not the case anymore. donte lived off those 2nd chance points from 3.

Don’t worry we’ll get back to our winning ways after this game. I see a lot of tier 2 and tier 3 opponents on our schedule. We’re going to dominate again and the postgame threads will be delusionaly immaculate

If the Knicks lose by 10 or less, no players play more than 35 minutes, and no one gets injured, I will see this as progress.

I just saw Josh Hart take a step back long 2 and then a fade away in the box. Wheres Patrick Ewing yelling at him if he practice those shots.

Oh and living with Brunson switched off to a big and getting destroyed in the paint is working out well too. Whoever suggested they are ok with that lmao

He has to play the 4, next to a defensive center.
This is so tiring (against good teams.)

Hit your shots....

These aren't quality looks in rhythm and it definitely doesn't look like anything they've practiced.

It looks like guys catching hot potatoes out of rhythm unsure whether to shoot or drive and just chucking it.

Celtics offense looks so easy. Knicks offense is a struggle.

those are the 2 positions where at least one of them needs to be good. being poor at POA and then protecting the back line is super tough to compensate for against the better teams in the league.


We had several games from ATL to DEN where we attacked their POA and our defense actually looked good. Then we went back to our current ineffective scheme

Thibs is the weirdest MF coach I've ever seen. Whenever something works or a player plays well, he ditches the effective strategy or benches the player

His head is a jar of mothballs
