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

I was expecting the Thibs’ LOL GIF

Anyone calling for thibs job, you better want KAT shipped out, because no coach is ever going to get KAT to be an average defender or a tough physical player.

Thibs offensive schemes are straight doodoo but nothing we didn’t already know.

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.

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

It is more delusional, in my view, to call for the biggest trades every two months, dropping valuable players and core pieces left and right. This team could very well be a juggernaut after the summer.

Bucks are 8-2 in their last 10, we were 6-4 with Brunson. This team without him is cooked.

That's overly pessimistic. Bucks have the harder trail end of the schedule. Knicks have the tie breaker. You're assuming a catastrophic meltdown. This team can play .500 ball.

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.

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

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.

Yeah it's thibs fault that he gave the ball up to early on a break. It's thibs fault that he is afraid of contact. It's thibs fault that everytime he touches the rock he immediately gives it up. If he can't create he isn't worth 5 picks.

Blame everyone else but him. Next lets deflect - let's point point out how kat had a bad game or struggles too. novatilikina is a major disappointment regardless of the offensive system.

And for that reason...

Might be worse than that. It’s like the 2001 Sixers. Using Jalen like Iverson and KAT n Mikal like Tyrone Hill n Aaron McKie smh

But we seen him be the best player on a WCF team because that team played him mostly at the 4 next to a defensive center. This like always is slow to adapt and has barely played KAT and Mitch together.

I get why we didn’t do many JB KAT pick n rolls today to avoid Brunson having LeBron switch on him, but there needed to be a double action or more post touches for KAT and more off ball movement (especially on the doubles). We’ve seen this team move with out the ball and make smart cuts. It’s easy to throw that on coaching, but when they show they can do it for multiple quarters, but get into ball stopping mode like they did in the early 4th when Jalen was resting that’s an execution issue. It’s also can issue of not having another on ball creator. Cam Payne 3s are cool when they are going in, but his main objective should be setting up his teammates and the offense, and tonight his minutes killed us.

How did a team with Towns get the tie-breaker over a team with Giannis? Everybody says we’re ass?

Coach needs to adjust, call some slow-ass common sense plays top of the key.
