He needs to comeback before the playoffs though. He's going to need a couple games to shake off the rust.


Or, if he was Mitch, 20 games, apparently

one of my favorite players this year. Just aesthetically from the block to the perfect tip by precious over the blazers players to start a 1 man fast break with a beautiful finger roll to finish the play off.


Block was dope, as for precious sometimes he does sht on the court that makes him look like the most athletic fluid basketball player ever then he reverts back to being precious. Weird player.


He's like Scottie Pippen x Lance Thomas

This makes no sense. Brunson is not out here chasing accolades or stat padding. He's not a selfish ball hog either. He is committed to doing whatever it takes to win. He was 7th in scoring and 8th in assists in the entire league when he went down. All the dumb takes about him need to stop.


Didn't you get the memo? Brunson is a ball dominant assh*Ie who is hated by all his teammates. Except Hart, because Brunson lets him start.

We lack the coaching to win a championship this season.


Worst coaches than Thibs have won championships in the last 5 years, specifically Vogel and Budenholzer.


They had better/or more rational rosters than this one

Yeah. That memo was quickly followed by the memo saying we can't criticize Thibs because we are all living in our mother's basements doing bong hits.

Kinda insulting to lance Thomas' great defense and lack of athleticism.

Honestly Bridges should just keep shooting that same shot as much as possible. It's a hard to stop shot, the midrange fadeaway, and he seems to get hot as he keeps going. So keep doing it. He cuts and shoots the corner 3 decently well. But when Brunson is not doing his thing, OG and MB one on one is what we got left. Lean into iso because at this point, it's not going to change and the three of them are good ISO players. Didn't think that about OG that much but he's def showing he can do it.

Your trolling has become way too methodical and predictable just saying the basic contrarian thing, throw some more curveballs, this forum needs some fresh memes.

Maybe OG stole it from Mikal's bag that's why Bridges can't hit them anymore...there, we'll run with that one for awhile.
If you'd rather see your team fail so you can be right
...you are a fan of your opinion not the team.

It's a combination of Brunson being out and none of the other starters being that creatively good on ball, plus Thibs lack of play calling imagination.

Even with Brunson in the offense went through good and bad stretches movement wise, but it generally looked better based on talent.

Maybe all this looks better next year. I have doubts.


The second unit is relying on stops and turnovers for offense regardless. Cam Payne's 7 and 3 this season aren't making or breaking it. He hasn't been bad, but he's been crucial or even particularly good. Most of the time he's barely passable. Which is why I'd have liked to try different looks for the second unit. Particularly because I don't think Cam's point-guard play has made anyone else better...Kolek or Wright might not help either, but at least they add different elements to a unit that has been called weak all season long.
PG- Haliburton | Schroder | Sasser
SG- Grimes | Dick | Bogdanovic
SF- Bridges | George
PF- Hunter |Strus| Fleming
C- Turner | Powell | Wiseman
