you would think we would try something different at some point but we never did. game 1 thru 5 was the same exact same game.

never tried to trap, no zone defenses to throw them off for a sec, no frank to rough up trae. just da same shyt that clearly wasnt working.

Which was why watching this series was so frustrating. Thibs really let his stubbornness get the best of him.

What do you guys think about bringing Brogdon in to play off ball and still signing Kyle Lowry?

basically using him like Atlanta used Bogi

we musta been watching different games. hawks got wide open 3s for 5 consective games lol
they shot better at home than they did at the garden because of comfort reasons, but thats the worse defense we've played all year.

all it took in each of their victories was 1 quarter of hitting the open shots that we gave them. compare that to us, i can count on 2 hands the amount of wide open shots we got in 5 games..

shyt was so super easy for them. not to mention trae shootin uncontested floaters whenever he wished.
pathetic performance

Our PnR defense flopped in the post-season but I think Noel's ankle was a big part of the problem. He had to drop further because he was even less mobile than normal and that made Trae unguardable. If he stepped up, he didn't have the movement to get back to Capela. The rotations fell apart right at the point of attack.

Also...Reggie was our best off-ball rotating defender but we'd shifted him on-ball. So the chemistry that was baked into our entire season shifted.
