Isn’t there a Dorell Wright? He was a fictional character in a 1980s movie

Just keep the foot on the gas....don't let up, I need more McBride and Mitch and the Shamet/Wroght and less of bridges

bro KAT is a smart offensive player
When he ISO’s on the top of the key
He always always always attacks the side of the court with the small on the weak side
If they jump the DHO or pick, he attacks the other way

We don’t f’n play thru this guy and for the life of me I have no clue why

I really don't want to trade him. I'll accept it if it happens and I'll be thrilled if it somehow leads to us winning a championship, but I prefer he stay a Knick.

He’s not getting traded. Mikal and McBride needs to get traded.

We can win this game. Make the adjustments in the 3rd

Would be a statement to hold the Pacers under 100 tonight. Bring our D back.

It's what the fan base does, we should be up 30, 45 points at half is to much, Brunson shoots to much, same
sh*t whenever things are bleak, we will win this game, game 6 indi better not choke

Told you 2010!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I mean, in fairness Shamet had played 0.0002% of Mikal’s minutes. You can’t ask a 40 mpg $100M Ironman to defend like a bench player fighting for his entire livelihood.

More realistically, Thibs needs to design an offense that incorporates 4 players capable of 20 ppg.

He can’t even go for a layup strong cause he’s a pussy.

Beg to differ

The team had the greenlight to attack the rim to start the game and it made all the difference to our offense

Our defense was better too of course, but we attacked and pushed the ball when possible and I agree with that approach

Slowing the game down turns Halitrash into a half court player

Let me rephrase it. As long as our defense is keeping them out of their rhythm offensively we should attack, because if they are not taking good shots they tend to recover less effectively on defense. Aggressive defense + opportunistic attacking on offense = keeping Indiana on their heels.

The key is our D. ALWAYS. But when we play good D, we should push the ball upcourt quickly whenever possible. We can slow it down if there is no open lane, but we've gotten into the paint more this game than any other time in this series and it is working. Also, we were getting no offensive boards in the first quarter, but as that improves we'll get more 2nd chances which we've seen several times in the 2nd quarter with subsequent scores.

Slowing down is when we need to gather ourselves, but if we are locked in on D you have to push it.

He’s not getting traded. Mikal and McBride needs to get traded.

Team needs an intervention from a respected former Coach (Pop?) on how to get the most out of the Offense. :nod:

Thru 4 games, Brunson has 1 assist to KAT…

Early on Hali penetrated off Turner screen then hook passed it back to a three. JB never makes that pass, especially not to Kat
