Ok….




How is this Thibs fault?

Poor game planning and points of emphasis? (I don’t exactly feel like that specific stat is a representation of the poor offense in and of it self to be fair. There’s a world where you use Brunson as a decoy and have Bridges set KAT up offensively. Still no assists from Brunson but you get good offensive flow)

Nah you can have 2 bad defenders flanked with 3 really good ones. It’s why the Kat - hart minutes work with 3 good defenders with them. Thibs views Josh as non negotiable so now you have 3 bad defenders on the court at the same time.
Probably win the game if you replaced all Josh minutes with delon wright, hilariously enough.

What recent championship team have you seen with the #1 being under 6’3 and the top two players on the team being below average defenders?

 

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Im not saying trade KAT.
Im saying fire Thibs bring in a coach that plays more to this teams strengths change & the philosophy...be a more point of attack defensively aggressive team and get out and run more,this team is stuck in the mud way too much offensively.No ball movement no player movement...

Somebody will trade a haul for a healthy KAT. I brought up Donovan Mitchell earlier and it’s the same math. A team is going to see KAT and if they have enough assets bet they can build around him, and low-key they would have a better chance to do it than the Cavs had with Mitchell.

He’s a known playoff producer and on the all NBA team. He is going to get a haul. His value has only gone up since he got here.

No it’s not. Donovan Mitchell was and is valued more than KAT. Nobody is trading a haul for KAT.

Bro watch the 4th quarter and how many times the rest of the team passed to everyone else and KAT didn’t even touch the ball. It’s not a scheme issue, it’s a play style issue for Brunson and a personality issue for KAT who doesn’t demand the ball.

Jokic is well below average, they started games with Mpj and Jamal Murray guards absolutely no one

We're in a new era to be fair. New rules can be written for how a championship is won.

Let’s see what happens

Jokic is well below average and Jamal Murray guards nobody dog.

they had good depth on that roster and possibly the second best offensive player in the game behind curry.

KAT was on fumes dude. The rotation was completely fukked in the third. That's on Thibs. It was his worst coaching performance of the entire playoffs.

Losing in the ECF is bad... but losing to Halliburton makes it so much worse. Even worse than losing to Trae Young and the Hawks.

Halli is such a b*tch ass n*gga still can't believe Knicks let him do the choke signal in the Garden

Bruce brown kcp and Aaron Gordon and Braun(a rookie) did extremely heavy lifting, and I don’t care about that best offensive player shyt when Brunson is on graphics with Michael Jordan cause of his prolific play. Lol we are a poorly optimized team, it is what it is

I agree Thibs shyt the bed, but the worst thing he did was play his 5 best players together for extended minutes.

Gonna take me a while to get over this one...

I know I'm being dramatic, but I ALMOST would rather have we lost to the Celtics... this shyt been too stressful...

That top 5 is better than our 5 cause that 5 isn’t a negative rating together and I don’t think it’s coaching.
