those two shots were absolutely great.

but he only had a chance to hit those because jalen came back from getting hurt and put his cape on and saved us. we were about to lose badly.


And there’s also one more guy you’re forgetting

You know you want to give him credit

I don't think you realize how bad Deuce was today (and I guess all post-season).

The lack of minutes for Precious is mystifying

So, everyone remember, Brunson has a one man wrecking crew run in him if needed.

Deuce concerns me though. It's like the kid forgot how to shoot.

I would give Wright a look if this continues

Another example of a costly decision from a coach that repeatedly gets exposed in the playoffs!

It's nota like they can challange a non call.

But they said Brunson is too selfish---again legendary playoff performance by Brunson...nowadays it is not surprising but rather expected. I swaer some of you don't deserve Brunson. Best thing that has happened to this franchise in decades (and I loved Melo).

KAT with two really tough tough shots. Solid game overall by him. I still think KAT can be even more effective--for someone with his offensive skill level it seems like 27 points is not even that great.

A good coach would have developed a decent bench and these games would have been blowouts. The writing is on the wall: There is NO WAY you are going to go deep in the playoffs playing essentially now a 5,5 man rotation. This strategy is ultimately not going to work out. But for the moment enjoy being up 3-1 against a fringe playoff team.

It is called a team. KAT was good early too. He had a bad stretch forcing when the team had given Detroit life when they were 1:49 from not having life

It's honestly disrespectful to Precious after what he gave us most of the year. The guy had some big games in the regular season and doesn't deserve to be treated like a g league player by Thibs. Especially when Mitch is playing like garbage.

And it was all Deuce’s points. I don’t enjoy Thibs’ offensive play calling (…if he does any.)
