PG: Awful gameplan, not prepared, not 1 good performance

[Wildcat]

I think OG needs to go back to the 3. We need another ball handler who can also shoot at the 2. A bigger forward type at the 4.

Zion.

donte and randle?

Randle?

Someone like Aaron Gordon would be ideal. Knows his role, defends, can shoot, can score in the post and in transition. Donte could work but ideally someone a little better on defense but that archetype would work

I think I heard this this morning that the knicks have trailed by double digits in 11 playoff games this season alone

A Zion and KAT front court would be a disaster defensively. Then you add Brunson and poor OG would end up snapping on the whole team in preseason before we even get to the regular season

We lost because of the turnovers. You can’t turn the ball over against a team that’s shooting like 65% from the field.

we're watching a team shoot that efficiently off off ball movement and passing yet we just toss the ball to each other like we're frolicking on the beach or watch a guy go to work

Watch on YouTube

KFTV boys blasting the hell out of Thibs and Josh

I agree with them when Josh came into the game, and started committing tos with bad passes, they swung the entire game

Mitch playing 0 mins in the 4th, Josh playing 36 mins

has anyone noticed that the pacers almost never missed an open shot? they move the ball and hit open shots. they won this fair and square

meanwhile we lazily throw the ball away a handful of times per quarter. i guess that's the downside of not having a real point guard like haliburton

They have an actual offense too.

No off ball actions or movement. Everything is a contested shot.

I don't care about the regular season ranking. Our offensive approach is dog sh*t. Our two best players scored 4 points in the 4th. That is a strategic problem.

Everything needs to be evaluated. Everything.

I should pull a Chanel and start arguing with everyone even tho I missed the game

Spoiler:

[Guano]

Really wish we would have just been swept so I dont have to watch another game or read about how we should trade Brunson.

And I thought i was toxic!

You are

Generating open looks for guys who shoot bricks isn’t the solution either. How many open looks does Mikal need to brick before we realize he just can’t shoot?

It sucks because due to matchups, Mikal is the easiest to generate good shots for. But he's missing most of them.

i guess the good news is after being disgusted by this entire roster last night we can trade pieces for giannis without feeling sick about it

Knicks offense has been more than fine..it’s all about their defense..that’s the difference..but if you really want to look at the offense it starts at the point guard position, haliburton is dominating this series, he’s a shot creator, it’s easy for an offense to look great when your point guard is exceptional at creating shots for his teammates. Brunson is a shot maker, not a shot creator, that right there changes the whole dynamic of the roster. Literally every player on the pacers outside of Tony Bradley can shoot, when the knicks have hart or mitch on the floor or even both, defenses don’t even need to worry about them. The knicks also lack athleticism and shot creators, OG has no handle, Bridges can’t take his player off the dribble. Again it’s easy to sit back and say Indy runs a great offense, which they do, and ignore the roster flaws of the knicks as to why they don’t

OP

I’ve been saying all season that one of our biggest issues is the redundancy in skill sets between OG-Bridges-Hart. All 3 are small forwards. The roster desperately lacks a secondary ball handler/traditional shooting guard as well as a rim protector.

The roster was better with DiVincenzo than Bridges, even if Bridges is a better player, because his skill sets was complementary.

Was poetic watching him shoot wild contested shots as our championship hopes disintegrated

Who was guarding Mathurin? How tf he went off for 11 free throws in 12 mins

[Fury]

Another thing, Pascal Siakam fouls on every play. He's either shoving someone, throwing an elbow or grabbing a jersey. **** that dude.
