We’re going to double Jimmy and leave Curry open

Deuce should be chasing Curry around rather than Mikal, may be a decent matchup for us. OG guards Butler very well, might be a good chance to win here.

And after this game 5 winnable games with Miami, Spurs, Hornets, Wizards, Mavs . Then Clippers for another good test

Fire thibs Folksssssssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dolan’s media policy.

After listening to Dolan on the Roommates Podcast, I don’t think Thibs is going away anytime soon.

Due to being one of the toughest players in the NBA I believe Draymond would have fit in perfectly with the 80's Pistons, Celtics, Lakers and Knicks.

Is he though?

He basically cherry picks guys he thinks are soft. He was trying with Edey and I don't think he will shake that tree again.

Like remember when PsychoT got Artest actually mad? That's how I feel Green in the 80's, 90's pre-malace@palace would go.

That GIF is a classic

This has the makings of another very entertaining game

[K_ick_God]

It's not that rare for a team to lose its best player and play a more enjoyable style of basketball. You need stars in the NBA but it also makes the game less fun to watch. And it's not simply because the team is "scrappier" or whatever euphemism people use.

I'll keep watching personally but if the quality of a game has an inverse relationship to the presence of its best players, then I think that's a major, major red flag. And it's not rare.

Guys like LeBron break that pattern, because he's not a guy who demanded being a top scorer. Or a Magic. Even Phil implemented the triangle to keep all the guys involved. That seems to be a thing of the past.

Not sure where to stick this so I put it here with JB out. There is something to this and I think it's a huge problem.

It's primarily a coaching issue even if an adjusted JB is still a shoot first guard.

There were several games in a row this season when the team clicked offensively while Brunson was racking up double digit assists which he does not typically do as a guy who averages 6-7 assists.

It was in those games he displayed some excellent dimes we had not seen that much from before and it gave me hope this was his evolutionary step as a playmaker. But it was followed by a hot streak and big scoring games and because Thibs just defaults to a guy like Brunson to initiate the action we switched back to playing primarily off Brunson instead of each other.

Point is Brunson can adapt, but not without leadership, because Brunson is not a legendary decision maker. He's just an amazing one on one player and as clutch a SOB as you could ever hope for.

You do not win championships just running ISO plays, but you do need guys who can make their own points for you when needed. Brunson is a great offensive player. He needs a better coach to guide him to become a more well-rounded point guard.

brunson is clearly affected by becky's comments

joking aside, he doesnt need to shoulder the burden of being the top scorer because he now has reliable help. Thats what teammates are for!

Brunson could easily play more off the ball. He is a truly great shooter from everywhere on the court and he can catch and shoot well. It's really a coaching issue. Brunson is a great one-on-one player and Thibs does not know any offense outside one-on-one so he goes with that. Better coaching would resolve that easily.

I agree with you.

I like Melo's podcast because he's a former player giving us his perspective of stuff. Like when he recounts stories of playing against certain guys, or how he felt being in the same room as the top 75, that's really good stuff. Kevin Garnett's stories are absolutely hilarious and borderline psychotic. I think that stuff is great. I don't think every old head needs a podcast, but there are a few who are worth a listen.

When it's current NBA players, I think it leaves too much room for awkwardness when things go wrong (see Paul George) or opens up the floor to people being loud, dumb, and wrong (see Draymond) and harming their image or the team's image. Like dude couldn't just man up and say that he was wrong, he just doubled down. I'd never want to listen to anything else he has to say after that.

I hope Karl drops a 50 banger on his head tonight

There are so many different things that Thibs could do with Brunson both on and off ball.

Brunson's gravity alone off ball could open up other opportunities. This offense is like one of the best in the league fueled purely by talent. Imagine if we had a scheme to go along with it that really made defenses scramble?

It's so strange because we know that Tom is a basketball junkie, but it just seems like his ideas are severely limited and he doesn't know what to do if his top guys aren't on the floor at all times.

This team is soft. They'll let Draymond and Butler talk sh*t to them all day and all night.

The warriors really aren’t all that good but Kerr is a better coach than thibs so it’s 50/50 win or lose this one
