Do these guys look like they enjoy playing with each other? It hasn't looked that way since the Cup final

I’m just trying to figure out how many more losses we will have before making a move. Brown may go before then.

It has to be either one. There's no other answer.

I can’t believe they decided to not show up today in middle of the worst skid this team has had since before most of these guys have been on the team.

Suddenly the roster that beat the nba champions in 6 games and was 2 games from the finals is too flawed of a roster to even win a game? Dunno if I buy that fellas

Maybe they got pissed KAT was carrying around the Cup trophy like he did something?

Did anyone else notice Coach Brown looked nervous during the national anthem? I thought his body language was highly questionable when the camera focused on him

Either they hate Brown's schemes and I'd have to assume his reluctance to change them, or the team is pissed at KAT because he never fully figures out the defense and offense and they are tired of it.

It's one or the other. Both would be pretty unique but in no way can it not be one or the other.

There is something wrong with this group right now. Its the same guys from last year where fight, grit, never give up was their motto and right now they dont have an ounce of any of that. Something wrong in the locker room? Coach has lost the team already? Sad and quite frustrating to see.

Brunson’s leadership is akin to Melo’s.

The more I think about it Brunson really is a guard version of him lol.


This is his team. We are a reflection of leon Rose and brunson vision. We have nova guys. How in the world would you let something like this fester if the team is really checked out?

100% truth.

He won’t get any blame because KAT and Brown are the scapegoats.

You the captain right? So fix the fu*king ship.

This is why you don’t crown players before they win anything. Got his father to be a top assistant, got his buddies to play with him, gave him a public service announcement of being the team’s captain. This is crazy lol

They showed Brunson in the huddle going off on everyone. The problem is Brunson's defense has been so horrible he needs to also take accountability
