Btw josh hart can’t shoot over or defend against a damn phone book. Him diving in snatching rebounds from our actual bigs isn’t fooling me. Dude literally wrestles Kat and Mitch for boards. Super clown ****. He hasn’t played good defense since his first half season here. Still can’t **** shoot. What can we package hart and bridges for? Hopefully one decent player that doesn’t smile like a idiot while they shoot 30%

Based on the increased level of fight, defense and shot making in the previous two games it seemed possible this team might get rolling, close out this series and prepare themselves well for Boston.

But they are clearly unable to sustain any success by consistently doing what works.

This team has recurring amnesia. As soon as something clicks as a team they go back to freelancing and stagnating. It's not good basketball.

TBH, I'm not even enjoying the thought of a second round as I have no confidence they will get it done in Detroit and this may go to 7 games.

This it what happens with no structure. We don’t play system ball we play park ball.

All the silly actions between hart and Brunson over and over and the dribble handoffs back to back to back make this look less like team basketball and just buddy ball. I love Brunson but he needs separation from the Villanova boys. Donte was the one dude that made sure he got his and he’s the one dude that’s not here. Yuck

Imagine if Brunson and Kat were long time buddies, they would look like Steve Nash and stoudamire but with long range bombs.

And this year he has thibs? Making open shots isn’t a coaching problem it’s a mikal problem. Smiling like an idiot when he drains a shot after missing the last 13 is a mikal problem. Just so you know I am in no way attacking you, I’m attacking mikal because we gave up so much for a dude that can’t even be a 3and d wing. Bare minimum he should have been able to do that but no he just sucks and celebrates with his former nets teammates smiling like an idiot.

The reason he isn’t making shots is because he’s playing point of attack defense all game long when he’s better served to be a wing defender. He has no legs and is tired before he even gets back on offense. At the end of the day, Mikal does a LOT on defense that goes unnoticed but we rip him for missed shots, when it’s basically him and OG on defense.

Thibs basically runs fetal position offense because he doesn't trust anything else

LMAO, og is taking the poa this series. He has been cooked on the wing most of the year and has had an awful shot for most of the year. Are you seriously pretending he has locked anyone up or mikal hasn’t had that terribly broken jumper he tried to change? You have got to be his mom or something. Mikal has been such a terrible let down even my kid wants to trade him. Or do you just like him for that goofy smile he has when he’s jacking shots and shooting 27%?

You’re a better man than I. Thibs can take his game and his approach and the rest of these sorry playoffs and go to Hades. And I ain’t trust the roster, nor does Thibs, nor do I think Thibs has a handle on his decision making in the small details or larger objectives. A total cluster****.
