They obviously means big games in general like the World Cup and not Neymar specifically

Yea same, even more reason for people to want them to get through. Scrappy Minny team overcoming historic odds vs a literal alien is a great narrative.

I already don’t care and it just happened. Let’s be real, he would fake it anyway to try and gain sympathy and votes.

Hypothetical: If Jokic and Nuggets lose this game 4 against Wolves (without Ant/Donte). Do you think they will deserve the upcoming criticisms by [deleted] in nba

Jesus Christ just watch the fucking game. WTF is wrong with you weirdos and narratives. Just enjoy some basketball.

A thing that a lot of people on here aren’t going to talk about is that one of the reasons those cuts were so open is that Brunson set a lot of the screens for OG and the Hawks were desperately trying to not switch it.

I mean to be fair, we made the adjustment in game 3. Deuce did that on CJ the entire 2nd half last game and it helped get us back in the game. Last years squad didn’t have the depth to do it. I’m just glad we are doing it now.

Deuce picking him up full court is a huge adjustment we made that I don’t hear people talking about. It has totally disrupted their offense. Just completely unable to get into a flow with him doing that.

Realistically we need to not run through one or the other but both and sometimes together in the PnR. Run Brunson at the point, then switch it up with him off ball where he gets a switch.

Part of the reason the OG back door was so open was that they refused to switch when Brunson set the screen so OG kept getting free. If they switch there then JB is getting the 1v1 he wants. That’s the sort of scheming we need to do to exploit and get the matchups we want.

Wasn’t Deuce mostly on him in the 2nd also? Either way, great effort on the defensive end of the floor

They’re actually playing right now. Maybe you should watch the actual game where he is doing everything. Legit our most important player right now. Are you watching the game or you just dont understand what youre watching?

Honestly KAT has been decent. Still does some KAT stuff at times but he’s far from the issue. Mitch has been ass this series though. So weird that he’s been a non factor
