We handed them the series because we have a bad coach. Every second goes by I get more mad.

We did not see OG on anybody this series. Mikal was the stopper huh? Smfh

No secondary ball handler costed us again!

Indiana played harder than us we didn’t want it.

Even if we get rid of thibs you can’t win with this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Brunson and Kat duo is an untenable pairing on Defense to win!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The book is now out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Unfortunately this. I don't think we can bring back this tandem. Carlise exposed them defensively and offensively they have no chemistry.

Time to pivot and use Mikal and KAT to improve the overall roster.

kat is staying for sure. the team is fine, jsut need some other bench players, the team is only together one season so they only will get better. they didnt get to figure out how to play together just yet, only in small instances.


I think you have a point but it's just not feasible to play Karl and Jalen together. The numbers are damning.

I have a feeling we're gonna try for Giannis or Durant.

The coach gotta go. Another coach can make this work, there's been plenty of teams with success with 2 bad defenders.

But obviously if it's those 2 they're keeping Brunson. He's the Captain and took that team friendly deal, zero shot he gets moved

Pacers don’t have defenders idc how much yall want to paint em that way. They both to get smoked than got out coached. We were able to defend then the man wait till 4th quarter to have Mitch guard the screens instead of Kat this is dumb lmao. The man his whole tenure bad with on the fly adjustments and it’s going to cost us because they have connections to Thibs. Reminds me when Daniel Jones won a playoff game and giants kept him and it held franchise back for 3 more years.

Not playing your bench all season to build chemistry and confidence and then throwing them into the conference finals and then mocking them for not coming through for you is just straight pure evil $hit. Then on top of that saying our bench sucks and Thibs did everything correct is just straight pure stupid $hit. This coach sucks. Period. Sure Brunson loves playing for him cuz he's known him his entire life. That doesn't mean you throw away all your other players prime years to make one player happy. Move the F on from Thibs. He's not the answer.
Fire Thibs!

Right.

And we would also need to acquire another C that can defend.

I still look to move Bridges. Out of anyone on the team his inconsistent defense hurt us badly. He's not worth paying a max contract to.

Kat never tried even tho not out in best position. I started getting concerned when guys would shoot floaters over him and they all go in. I’m like does he have a small wingspan or he’s that far off playing fake defense. Either way you was ring his defense ass but Thibs not off the hook. Seen too many times mIkal and OG collapsing on D too. Thibs also unable to hide Brunson with multiple wing defenders is sad.

Surprised no one has mentioned KAT can't jump at all. 2 inch vertical, if that. :talkhand:

How many successful Brunson and Kat pick and rolls did we see this season?

Also I don’t want to see no roomates show after this loss and def don’t care about it anymore. Yeah I’m going that way.

If Thibs had the balls to limit Jalen's constant ISO running down the clock hero ball nonsense, develop the bench throughout the season, and have a specialist work with Kat to play even average defense we'd be in good shape. Fix those 3 things and we'd be money IMO.

My thing is that we didn’t have a problem hiding Brunson for the past 2-3 years until we brought in KAT. So it’s hard for me to blame Thibs. And mikal hasn’t played defense in years either.

I'm very troubled by the original post. It was made clear that this kind of behavior wasn't acceptable, and the result was a suspension for a first offense. Given that everybody understands the position of the board on this, to do a discredited meme about KAT (and bring **** about one of our players) to this thread is really out of bounds. This has got to stop. How?

Players you dislike are really not the issue. After one suspension and all the resulting discussion, don't you understand that what you posted is wrong, no matter your feelings about the player?

It’s a meme that went viral last night. Twitter does it to everyone when they play bad, which apparently you aren’t aware of. I’m assuming you probably don’t even know how to operate Twitter. Stop trying to back seat moderate and falsely accuse people of homophobia.
