I really hope thibs is fired. He needs to retire from coaching. That fluke boston series win made him loom like he knows what he's doing and carlisle has outcoached him.

Should have rested his players on game 6 entire 4th quarter. They got now tired by the end of 4th quarter of this game. Missing free throws and shyt.
Fools had 4 days off talking about tired

Knicks took advantage of the Celtics having Porzingis basically unplayable due to illness and Al Horford not being able to hit anything from 3. The Celtics' pick and pop game was gone because of it. It allowed the Knicks to use their switching defense and go under screens because there was no threat on a big spacing out the floor
Pacers are doing what the Celtics idiotically did not. They are making Brunson and Towns play defense. Switching defense against the Pacers makes the Knicks even more vulnerable than they already are
It doesn't matter if the primary defender goes under on a switch, because the help defender is picking up the ball-handler. That's the whole reason switching defenses are great for stopping three-point shooters.

The Knicks played Boston by allowing the Celtics to attack the switch and living with the results inside the arc. That led to some foul trouble for KAT and Brunson throughout the series, but it slowed Boston's offense down and broke their rhythm. What the Pacers showed last night is that whether the Knicks are switching or hedging, a good offense will find ways to attack Brunson and KAT.

All of the breakdowns in the final minute, where Nesmith hit three consecutive threes, came from the players getting stuck on screens without the help defender switching or hedging. Two of those shots came with the primary defending falling from trying to go over the screen.

You know what is funny?

You must have felt personally attacked by me. I didn't know who said what. I was commenting on these hot takes in general.

We have stats and actual footage of Brodges defense winning games.

Im not worried.

Matter fact, you gave me an idea when you mentioned me making funny thread titles.:ohhh:


I might do a ban bet thread. Where I agree to a 3 month ban from TheColi if the Knicks lose.

What you think? Will it get the people going?:lolbron:
