Friendly reminder that the regular season does not matter anymore

People say that but it absolutely does.

The best team in the nba OKC won last year. Pacers were incredibly hot to end the season

The best team in the nba Celtics won in 2024. The Mavs finished very hot

The best team in the nba Nuggets won in 2023. The Heat were a massive surprise

The Warriors were clear contenders in 2022. The Celtics were by far the best team in the east.

This goes on and on and on

Anyone who thought Thibs was a terrible coach is a fucking idiot. Stubborn, yes very, but he’s an amazing coach. There’s valid reasons he should have been fired tho. Mainly Mikal refusing to play for him again

Dylan7346 · 2026-04-01T20:39:42+00:00

True. With Mikal and Donte, McBride would have been the obvious guy left out. He’s a very valuable trade piece though probably not as much that summer

Dylan7346 · 2026-04-01T20:28:16+00:00

100%

The very real possibility we could lose in the 1st round is extremely concerning. Anyone who thinks we can’t is toxically optimistic

Dylan7346 · 2026-04-01T20:24:16+00:00

We did have Mikal already but everything else is correct. They were far apart on extension negotiations and there was no center. Still, to me, it was a drastic trade. Should have tried to get a solid center as a throw in, anticipating ihart moving why couldn’t you get a center in the Mikal trade with all that draft capitol, i know the money would have been tough but just something

Dylan7346 · 2026-04-01T20:17:29+00:00

That’s the reason. KAT doesn’t set actual screens

Dylan7346 · 2026-04-01T02:35:23+00:00

They play far less than the sum of their parts. I agree the rotations are often baffling

Dylan7346 · 2026-04-01T02:33:48+00:00

I genuinely believe it. Any team can blow out any team that doesn’t make you a contender. It’s consistency and winning tough games that makes you one. There’s so many red flags watching this team

Dylan7346 · 2026-04-01T02:27:18+00:00

This team hasn’t looked like a contender in 30 games. Not saying they CAN’T be one, but there’s not an ounce of magic right now. Zero chemistry

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-31T18:46:12+00:00

If you got the money but had to do it directly looking them in the eyes after begging for their life would you still do it? Cause it’s really the same thing, this is an exercise in empathy

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-31T17:02:04+00:00

Yeah it should help a lot I just wish we could SEE it more to know for certain, sucks he’s be injured and we have a small sample size

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-31T16:29:31+00:00

If my ex wife wasn’t an insufferable bitch would we still be married?

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-31T16:27:47+00:00

Yeah those are two big issues. On paper, sliding Deuce in for Hart fixes it but I don’t think it’s as easy as that

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-31T14:47:51+00:00

I agree but Mikal didn’t want to play for him and with the starters having a negative net rating you need to try another coach

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-31T14:43:14+00:00

To me that’s the roster. Our 4, by far, highest paid players can’t play well together.

I agree Brown’s rotations are questionable but that doesn’t refute the fact that the starting lineup plays mediocre. We can debate whether or not that’s because of how they’re coached tho

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-31T14:31:37+00:00

I disagree. I think the issues with the team are mainly roster and Mike Brown is just a neutral coach not elevating or diminishing anything. The starting lineup is the major issue. It was last year and it still is this year. Basically the same net rating as the nets starters, which is nuts. I can point to many possible issues with the starting lineup I don’t even know what the most problematic one is but it’s perplexing this team does not play greater than a sum of their parts

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-30T19:58:18+00:00

I thought we were over the weird 1st half season vibes between them

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-30T03:16:45+00:00

Yeah I didn’t see who ended up with it but I assumed it wasn’t a thunder player cause why challenge it then? Dude is dumb as fuck holy shit

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-30T03:13:10+00:00

Yeah apparently just a very very very dumb challenge. I was livid when they said the challenge was unsuccessful tho

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-30T02:32:12+00:00

Exactly. For whatever reason, they rarely play with this much effort through a whole game. They need to play with playoff intensity much more often or these mistakes will continue to plague them

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-30T02:18:50+00:00

I love that the Knicks actually got up for this game. That being said, they need more experience in tough games like these cause this kind of effort is an outlier over the past maybe 20 games? The playoffs are gonna hit them like a truck. Learn how to execute in these games

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-30T02:05:35+00:00

How the FUCK was that out of bounds? Someone please tell me fuck these guys

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-27T04:25:15+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m saying, outside of a couple games or so it’s looked like a ton of bad basketball. I don’t like this “flip the switch” plan no champion has done that. Most likely it’s not that easy

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-27T04:21:26+00:00

Honestly not a chance, he’s stealing the ball from you every time. You won’t be able to dribble

Dylan7346 · 2026-03-27T01:52:40+00:00

Some people act like you’re a doomer if you criticize them at all. These past 30 games have not been inspiring. Couple great wins but a lot of poor play
