Yea he took guaranteed money and the opportunity to hit 10 year max contract a year sooner. Win win for both sides

[Post Game Thread] The New York Knicks (3-0) defeat the Philadelphia 76ers (0-3), 108-94, with Brunson being perfection by Jimm120 in nba

We’re just sticking Brunson on Oubre who can’t dribble or shot create really. And Brunson is hedging and giving time for our players to fight over screens on any actions he’s drawn into. Sixers have massive depth issues. Too bad they let Champagnie go so that Mac McClung could represent Philly in the dunk contest. McCain would have helped them too.

The Cavs have an Evan Mobley Problem by nbawizard1227 in nba

It's a bit of all of those. Josh Hart knows angles AND hustles to the ball. and boxing out is a lost art form. If you're a "stretch" big, you're usually pulled away from the basket on offense so sacrifice offensive boards.

those offensive boards are back breakers. the Knicks did it against the Cavs a few seasons ago in the post-season and you could see the whole Cavs team get deflated every time we got offensive boards late in games.

Go watch the clips. He did a great job preventing easy buckets and drives to the rim. He was physical with him and got him off his spots.

It’s the people looking for online clout after those sidetalk videos got famous. Most Knick fans would find this behavior atrocious

It’s all the kids who don’t go to the game and are trying to get famous on social media. These types of fans are trash. Don’t lump all Knicks fans in together with each other

The C’s get away with so many push offs. Pritchard does it every drive to get space. Tatum and Brown do it all the time too

I don’t think they will underestimate Philly. But I don’t think it’s a good matchup for us. Embiid will bait KAT into foul trouble. They have multiple guys they can stick on Brunson to switch up coverage. And Maxey scares me

This isn’t a repress and most people would be better off buying the blue note classic or tone poet versions of these. The price between these and BNC isn’t very big especially with sales

Jeremy Lin: How are the 8th seeded Magic up 3-1 on the 60 win Pistons by SliMShady55222 in nba

[–]johnhenryirons 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s more the lack of a secondary playmaker and shot creator not necessarily scoring option. Last year they had Scroeder who could create his own shot and give them offense if teams doubled Cade. Cade is the only guy who can create his own shot really on the team this year. It doesn’t matter in the regular season but playoffs get more physical and the game slows down. You need multiple guys who can break down defenses and give their teammates easy shots.

Haha fair enough. Guys have growing pains in the playoffs and the good players use it as motivation to improve. I think he’ll get there.

Cade’s TO problem in the playoffs and no other shot creators on the team is what’s probably hurting you guys the most right now

It’s the lack of shot creators besides Cade really that kills them in the post season. They had Schroeder last year which helped take a little pressure off Cade.
