PG: that sucked

Sorry but Ragu would not have missed all those critical 3's. I counted 4 of them that Mikal bricked. They say we have a problem with Detroit's length but really we have a problem with their motor , strength, and athleticism.

I would move Bridges for 2 roleplayers that were playoff performers. We needed athletic players and another facilitator that will get into the game... preferably over 6'4"/ Thibs should be gone but this team definitely lost too much when Ragu and Ihart left the building.

Me watching Brunson and Bridges brick three after three in clutch time.

Brunson also missing that 3rd free throw. they had several wide open shots it is what it is. Shroeder iced them. Clutch player of the year perhaps

Transfer those 11 threes Mikal took to KAT. Give McBride some more minutes.

Let's be honest we didn't deserve to win that game. At least JB won his personal battle with Amen. Was fun seeing Cap try to single-handedly grind out a W in the clutch. But this hero ball will not work against the better teams.

I thought we changed the roster so that JB wouldn't have to play hero ball... Now it seems like he's just comfortable doing that and the coach has no better ideas.

Team shouldn't even be put in that position.

The thing I love most about 6.5 man rotation iso-ball is relying on crunch time heroics from guys who just killed themselves for 40 minutes.

There were 3 more shots like that he missed....

Cam Payne barely played. Kat was a decoy, so was OG.

What exactly is the "Offensive system" here?

Where are the adjustments?

It's the coaching.

they're not gonna trade bridges now. because they're not getting anything close to what they gave up so it's admitting a mistake. they can't do that so soon.

Brunson passed the ball off several times down the stretch to find bridges wide open including to hart for the tying dunk so it’s not like he’s not reading the floor

also not surprising a confused team on when to switch killed us with the schroder make.

Post #38 » by **K_ick_God** » Tue Apr 22, 2025 2:23 am

Thibs is bad news ... KAT 11 shots is ridiculous ... however, some of this is the game ... pass the ball around, take a forced shot

Other teams do similar but also set screens and stay moving ... we don't ... and then we do mindless stuff like let KAT not even get any touches ... did he even touch??

rickxdel · Post #39 » by **rickxdel** » Tue Apr 22, 2025 2:23 am

i've seen enough Thibs should be fired after this team's season is over

play Mitch and Kat together more, play Hart less

Do something other than iso-Brunson

Bridges is a disappointment in big games - do not give him a max

Defending the Knicks is simple. Blitz Brunson. No one else can create a shot. What this team needed was another shot creator, not another 3 and D wing.

This team lack secondary shot creation, this team lacks rim protection, and the most expensive wing duo of all time does not offset these issues against good teams.
