I get Mitch but we need to draw Gobert out of the paint on defense.

that basically the difference right now


The worry is that Brunson and KAT don't always play well off each other so we need KAT to keep cooking and Brunson to get going too.


Even if brunson isn't scoring his normal self I need him to stop losing his man on simple rotations

he has probably directly been directly involved in 4-5 wide open twolves 3's because he is for some reason over helping and can't recover.


Its not just him though. I've noticed theyre still doing this dumb sht this year. I was hoping it would die with thibs being gone. But we still hedge way too much giving up open 3s. Its maddening.

helping off DIvo repeatedly is certainly a choice. think we've had 3 turnovers on basic dribble hand offs lol

I hope Hart continues to shoot those threes all season. Just the fact hes shooting them keeps the defense on their toes. Super bonus when hes actually making them!

Two years ago, this n*gga would've had 4 turnovers by now.

Right...I was relying on the usual dumb play, instead we get the opposite.


And all it took was for an organization to tell him "You're Robin now, not Batman." Once he accepted that he was no longer the #1 option, it seems that he drastically cut down on forcing plays for himself and others.

Randle cleaned that up years ago. He's just getting better at the reads.

I mean I wasn't going to get that granular with it....but sure.

especially one of the last ones where he almost was looking to double Randle - who was being guarded by OG. let OG live and die on that island. He left Divo wide open.

We need to come out this half with a solid defensive strategy

Move the ball. Feed KAT in the paint

And to me that's the difference here. Minny is good... basically right at our level...but I never saw them as particularly smartteam.We made them look like Albert Einstein.
