No accountability last season, wow.


Early hot take, if we’re on track to win 50+ games, Bridges will make the all-star team.


Agreed. He's moving well without the ball. His shot hitch is gone. He's definitely brought in and adapted more than any other player so far. If he can get 20/4/4, I think he's locked in.

I find that ... hard to believe. We've seen Thibs grill into people.

perhaps it was about grilling into certain players

I respect that Brown has more players involved on his sets than Thibs, but not buying this starting lineup wins anything of value.

The sets for the starting lineup look like Mitch setting apick up high that doesn’t work, followed by 3 DHO that look like some weak variation of the Princeton offense, and eventually a contested 3.


Mitch can’t dribble, pass or shoot. He gonna bog things down until he gets injured. This starting lineup will look worse than anything Thibs trotted out. The bench will rescue them every game

Watching Mitch set a pick from Brunson and then watching two defenders trap Brunson is exciting basketball

Watching Mitch in today’s game is like watching the NFL but then a player checks in wearing a leather helmet and no face mask and he states “ok, let’s run the wishbone”

He said “we won” as if we didn’t have a G league battle to the death at the end.

On an unrelated note, Mitch being the non spacer in the starting lineup might be even worse of an option offensively than Hart. At least Hart is a decent playmaker as the primary screener and will sometimes take a three. We now have Mitch getting the ball back on the perimeter and he can’t pass and he has never attempted a shot even outside the free throw line. Cant see how this team scores effectively all game.

Was there ever an explanation on why Mitch didn’t play in the second half?

Watched the game on delay so wasn't following this thread.

If we hit threes at a decent clip then we don't lose the starters vs starters minutes. 26%, is awful. And terrible to watch as well, missed 3 after missed 3.

I don't know why Brogdon didn't play until late, I want to see him play PG with some starters, see how his veteran savvy helps.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

There is a better chance that meLo hits sub 300lbs than mikal hits those numbers.

Pure unfilitered absurdity.

Speaking of absurdity.

When has watching the game ever mattered. Hell stat sheets don't even matter. Let the unsubstantiated opinions fly. We have agendas that need tending, too.

Robinson does seem to make the team worse. Not surprising considering we’ve always looked better over the years when he wasn’t playing. Should have traded him years ago when his value peaked

I was getting ready for work and couldn't believe I missed the whole ot

Everyone chipped in, love it !! Huk is a menace in the paint, I think Tosan can play, I want us to keep both Tosan and Garry Bird, and Pac has high offensive awareness imo and he will be a problem... considering he's only 20 he seems like a savvy vet offensively. And, Kolek ain't dead... NOT YET !!!!

67% of mitch slander is because he is a certain posters fav.

22% is because he is a hick

the rest is because people are unforgiving to people who miss work because of illness.

Mitch was a game changer on defense yesterday. We have zero rim protection when he’s off the floor. And this 5 out offense isn’t a thing when Mitch is on the bench.
