To be fair, they're announcing from the standpoint of covering an NBA team. What we did was college basketball bad.

Checking his stats, they are good for the most part most years, so idk honestly, I think it's just lack of confidence.
I may be delusional, but I think he is the one that can help us the most outside of Embiid and Maxey in terms of scoring if he gets into his groove. Abandoning him too early could be a mistake based on overreaction from a recent poor patch of games.
It may sound like a good idea to mostly keep doing the same thing we have been doing while just improving a bit on the boards and in focus, and hope their role players miss more shots, but then again, Maxey had great shooting in both games and Embiid has at least been decent, while Brunson has been poor in both games. So I don't know, we need someone else to step up, because Maxey will probably not be great all games, Brunson will have a great game or two at some point probably.

Offensive schemes, consistent playing time. Knicks wings aren't slouches on defense either. Can't just expect a good shooter to hit a three every time he touches the ball. Buddy cannot create his own 3's, but our offense isn't exactly prioritizing hitting shooters running off screens or DHO's like the days with Redick.
Watching this series and the Miami game, I don't see a drastic difference in how this offense operates compared to years prior with Doc. I do not think it's an easy task to run through Joel in a halfcourt set, especially in a slower tempo playoff game. Yet here we are in the seventh consecutive year basically mashing the same square peg into a round hole.

We should just do what we did with Redick to involve him more IMO. Not saying he is the same caliber of shooter, but he is of the same mold, quick and fast trigger.

Buddy is too slow for it to work plus Biid missing as much time as he has means they don't have that chemistry

What are his 3 point percentages in playoff games? Exactly.... !

Buddy is not slower than Redick though.
To me, that was the main positive thing Brett Brown did, get the most out of a deadly shooter.

Come on man two game sample size, let's be real here. He can do much better and it's not like we don't need what he provides, we totally do.
