he's got to be more aggressive no doubt...maybe the injury to brunson (only silver lining I can think of) will open things up to him.
But in all seriousness do you want him to rip the ball away from his teammates...he is banished to sitting in the corner like he's in the shadow realm.
Yea Mikal isn’t like Jimmy Butler… he’s not gunna be aggressive like that and take the ball out of Jalen’s hands the way Jimmy did with Rose.

Games like this show that this is a stars league. We need to trade Mikal and KAT for Giannis.
I’d be happy with them bringing back Donte instead of a big trade. Growth from within goes a long way. But childish fans won’t allow things to grow.

Stop it.
He played hot potato with jHart in the end. He didn't even look at the hoop when he touched the ball and when he would get it on a cut any restitance and he is taking a fade.
He played great defense tonight and it's been consistent. But his offense is terrible.
And I'm sure you'll respond with how it's all thibs fault and sure he could be more creative. But we've had other sg thrive in this archaic offense. He'll I'd take bullock right now. He wasn't afraid to shoot

You know deep down in your very core that the second Mikal shoveled that pass to Mitch in no man’s land he had already mentally checked out of this game offensively. Look at that possession again, squint a little and tell me if you see Ben Simmons

Crazy how great of a season he is having and absolutely no one is talking about it.

Re: PG Knicks/Lakers
This coach wants to play the Brunson Knicks like he played the D. Rose Bulls.
And for that reason...

To me it looked like a decently bad ankle sprain. I'm not sure of the correct medical term, but let's call it "upper, outside" if that makes sense. I think he'd have been completely hobbled and unable to walk to the dressing room if it was an achilles tear. (But, ldo, not a doctor even on teh internetz.)

We can't dominate the bad teams and we make ourselves look terrible against the good teams at full strength. Now we have a west coast barrage with Brunson likely missing significant minutes and the only person in the starting lineup look passable is OG Ananoby. We just filled up our roster with more people Tom will force to the G-League. We are in for some tumultuous times folks. Get rid of Tom so we can expand and unlock this roster!
He ain’t going lose his seat until after the playoffs but I am hoping just this once the FO says let’s consider something new and at least really consider getting a new coach. Like legit compare Tom to who is out there and if a better coach is available grab them.

0-8 against top 3 teams in both conferences and you’re talking about allowing things to grow. Delusional as hell

It’s important not to lose your sense of humor, well done.
Now me, Kolek probably gets minutes.

Should have waited to throw a lob but he gives it up way too early cause he didn't want the rock. Man is a mess

oh yes...a guy that took 6 shots...that didn't touch the ball for maybe the entire 4th qtr...now is indecisive and not aggressive....how could that ever happen?
Thats why the offense needs to be more aggressive in getting better looks and running set for his personell. Mikal isn't Donte...mikal isn't just going to bomb 10 3's a game with range. If thats the role you are putting him in he's going to fail at it...
its the same reason KAT doesn't get good looks...he is just uber talented offensively so he makes his own offense most of the time. But rarely does KAT get an open look.

Re: PG Knicks/Lakers
Mikal will be better now. I always felt he should be a bench player so he can play like he did with Brooklyn. He'll be more aggressive/create with no Brunson on the floor...
...But how the fucc does that help us if they can't play together and our moron coach can't be man enough to separate them?

Re: PG Knicks/Lakers
Alex KFTV going in on Thibs late game offense vs great teams like CLE BOS. It’s not just ISO one guy and let them cook. It’s an actual offensive scheme.

Re: PG Knicks/Lakers
Bridges looks completely lost out there. Just standing around most of the game, catching the ball at random moments and then looking to get rid of it as quickly as possible. He had a bad turnover and multiple near turnovers just rushing to get the ball out of his hands.
I wish we could at least turn him back into a corner 3 and D guy but we seem to struggle to even create an open 3 for him from the corners.
If Brunson is out for an extended period it's going to force not only Thibs but the players to learn how to play offense without Brunson or drown

I know that Deuce took three overtime shots, all of which were ill-advised, and that Hart, of all players, tried to tie the game on a three on our last attempt. Wtf?
Coach doesn’t call pick and roll plays to involve Towns - not for Bridges but neither with Brunson on the ball. It is not okay… inexplicable, outrageous even and it’s been going on forever.
