I keep saying this but Mike Malone is out there. He won a chip with Jokic and Murray and Brunson and KAT are a similar duo though Brunson would be the first option.
No, they’re not. Jokic is a whole different beast far and beyond anything we have and Thibs has ever had.

If they win this series they gonna get swept against Boston.

Games might be over by the 3rd if Boston brings its A game. If we get there.

I already knew they wouldn't close this game. We're not winning three straight against these Pistons. No energy, intensity nor sense of urgency from the very beginning on our part. We mostly only win because we have more talent than the other team, NOT because we play better or harder.

Am i only one that feels like this series shouldn't even be close? I understand if we going down the wire with Boston or the Cavs but it almost feels like we are the underdogs in this series.

We have been down in every game and have had to desperately try to fight back. It's pretty embarraasing
No. No you’re not. Every flaw we predicted Detroit to have bore out in this series. A better coached team would have punished their inexperience.

They’re not that inexperienced they have plenty of vets (Dennis, Tobias, Beasley, Hardaway, Reed).

They’ve outplayed us largely we’ve won because of their inexperience (down the stretch errors by Ausar, Duren, and Cade).

As always coaches don’t play, players do.

All their vets notoriously fold under pressure aside from maybe Dennis. And, we can run a better offense than screen, screen, iso.

Dennis cooked us and has been playing full court jersey to jersey defense all series

Tobias was locking up KAT straight up battling with a black eye…he had 17/8/2 with 4 blocks

If I hear use KAT like Jokic again :dead:

No one is saying KAT is Jokic, but KAT offensively can do things Jokic does and those set plays will help. No one is saying he has to pass out, but he can shoot the damn ball. The plays they have to pass Jokic the ball to shoot…. We don’t do that. KAT can also work as a distributor from posting out.

Anyhow I have more belief Malone can alter his sets for Brunson and KAT than Thibs will stop running iso Brunson and stop trying to have KAT play like Randle.
