PG: Nets Drubbed. Thibs Detractors in Shambles

Most happy nobody got hurt and we got to the playoffs relatively healthy despite having 3 guys at the top of the mpg so kudos to them and kudos to the coaching and training staff.

We should've won more than 51 games but it's still good.

I will consider this season a success if we beat the Pistons convincingly and give the Celtics a scare.

For the first time, we actually have a full roster for the playoffs. I didn't realize this.

No reason to lose the Pistons when you think about it.

I wouldn’t consider the season a success, but I will admit that there are positives like the team being healthy for the playoffs. I honestly consider that a better sign than them spanking the pistons because they are supposed to spank the pistons.

I wouldn't call it boring, but it's crazy how a 51 win season seemed to have so many disappointments. Partly because of higher expectations and partly because the style of play wasn't pleasing

If the game plan he prepares before tipoff is the right one and the opposing coach makes no adjustments then it’ll be an easy game

If his game plan is bad then he will keep trying to run through a brick wall for 48 mins and if the other coach adjusts at halftime we won’t have any counters or adjustments of our own

Life with thibs

I mean, that's obviously why we signed PJ.

I think fans just expected more out of the team after we technically went all in with Bridges and KAT. Plus not winning a regular season game against Boston and Cleveland would be a little concerning. If you have championship hopes for the team, we don't have much flexibility to get that much better.

I'm willing to give the team til next year to figure it out though. But that's just me. Second round exit is fine with me but if we lose to Detroit, it would be a disappointment.

Shamet is the only guy (besides Mikal) that can get his shot off super quickly. Both via pull ups + C&S.

Hopefully Delon sees the floor…

I honestly don't see either the Thunder or Rockets making it out of the West. I mean, it could happen, and I'm not afraid to say I was wrong about both teams if it actually does happen. I would just be shocked if they do.

I think it's going to be the Lakers or Clippers in the Finals.

I really hope Thibs wakes up and coaches this team like this is his last shot at a championship. He can't bet on having 1-3 more years at it.

okc not making it out of the west? how so?

Young and inexperienced.

I feel like we could have this discussion about Wright and Kolek too but the pro Thibs agenda blocks actual honest discourse on here

The anti-Thibs agenda prevents just as much discussion.

I don't think it's lame. It would be lame if his streak ended because the team decided to keep him out. He could have played and would have if we needed him to.

Agreed! It would only have been lame if he wasn’t healthy and just did it to keep the streak going

It's not like this was the first time this has happened.

If we indeed lose to Pistons with this squad then we will have a new coach next season. If we indeed show breakthrough by getting into ECF, then we will can build on that too.

The hard part is what if we get stuck in the semis. I remember what Jalen said at the end of last postseason.

He looked good, fights on defense and he has size.

Marjon Beauchamp looks like he was created in a lab to play basketball, haven't seen a wing player look more the part that it hasn't clicked for.

Bucks also had DJ Wilson who I was sure was going to be somebody.

Partly because we went 0-14 vs. the elite teams like Cavs, Cs, OKC, LA teams, and 24-0 against Bullets, 76ers, Raptors, Nets, Heat, Suns, Blazers, Pels ... we almost swept the bobcats. So anyone who has 2 neurons in their brain that can successfully fire will realize it's yet another fake Thibs masterpiece. Up there on his mantle like the fake Covid regular season where he won Coach of the Year.
