And another thing. DiVo, Randle, and iHart were dogs. KAT, OG, and Bridges are milquetoast. They ain't all in your face like that.
OKC has no dogs, Celtics has no dogs. That shyt is some trivial bullshyt. Only thing that matters is talent.

We have the talent but they’re not being put in position to succeed and that’s on the coach.

Either Thibs starts doing more pnr’s, having Hart initiate the offense, having Mikal more involved with pick and roll’s, laying off the drop coverage and utilize more switch defense or he’s gonna get his walking papers.

Nah those OKC brehs are dogs. Jalen Williams , Caruso and Chet stay getting into it and willing to get dirty on the court.

Brunson has played the same way his entire tenure. He's not a PG...he's a combo. It only worked last year because we didn't really play like most teams, and also the offense ran through Julius a lot. KAT can't do that. Plus, the scrappiness that Thibs teams are known for, like we played last year, KAT takes away from. You exchanged a rugged (albeit sometimes-out-of-control) player that fit the coach, for a finesse player. It'll take time...but if they become a generic modern team, I don't know if it'll work.

Offense is not the problem. They can’t defend.
4th in offensive rating, 20th in defensive rating.

The offense needs more pace and threes though. Some real kinks on both ends but defense is the bigger concern we have no frontcourt with the injuries and I-Hart’s departure who’s actually also injured right now.

Sims gives you nothing offensively I low key feel bad for dude. :sadcam:
