This is the perfect example of the coach drawing up an amazing play. The player fumbled but the coach got him an open shot. Look at this play vs the Thibs play we were talking about before. If you can't see the difference in quality I can't help you.

Sorry I don’t see it. Looked like we were blitzing Cade and Malik just flared out

What am I missing, that he pushed someone?

Im pretty sure Cade was supposed to shoot that

Cade threw two passes away and completely bricked one in the final minute

That was my sense too. But as I stated earlier he was the wrong guy for that anyway. Not a goo 3 shooter and off tonight plus he got a serious case of raisins for nuts. So it looked like a hot potato moment

Yay for the good guys

Malik, your teammates and the whole city hate you! (Had to get that out of my system)

I was so ecstatic when Brunson hit that shot that I didn't even notice Breen gave him the double bang

Yeah I must have shouted over him.

Ian Eagle call is money too

Yall serious? Cade is not a 3pt shooter. You really think they drew up a play for him to take a 3? All the movement was used to create a distraction while their shooter ran to the wide open spot one pass away. How are yall not understanding this?
VDesai @ 5/1/2025 11:06 PM
Also Thibs did call a great play. Its a ghost screen Ausar loses his balance bc he thinks Mikal is coming and Brunson crossed the shit out of him like he was Bryon Russell. Put rollerskates on him.

Sorry I didn’t see it that way. It looked like they were blitzing Cade which is not a bad strategy w 4 seconds or less

And why would you put the ball in. Cades hands if he wasn’t the first option? Knicks could have wrapped him up “if he’s not a shooter/ shooting” he’d get his 2 FTS and we get the ball back

All that said you could be right

The guy on Detroit that stepped up the most that series was Duren. He was supposed to be low Iq/empty stats, but he was a beast on both ends and he made his FT.

So we just lying now? he lost balance because he thought Brunson was going to the wing but he went middle.

I think its obvious that was a pretty bad strat. Just because Beasley fumbled the open shot does not make that a good idea.

Josh Hart got obliterated ona drive with 3.50 minutes left and no foul then came back to get a defensive rebound. Hart played tough !!

You going to sit here and say this was cuased by the ghost screen? SO Brunson changing direction the exact time he loses balance means nothing?

Was such a good ghost screen you can't even see it.

Brunson play with 138 left shot of the year

Proud that they fought back and stepped it up defensively to close out! Despite the win it's hard to feel optimistic heading into the next series. Our offense needs an overhaul...does anyone think this type of offense will work much vs the Celts? Jrue Holiday is a very solid defender, they have D. White, JB, Tatum, Pritchard that all cover well.

If JB plays more pass first I think we have a possibility to overachieve.

Of course if he's really the second coming I guess we will be fine

Either way it will be fun to see KAT go head to head vs KP in the trailing 40 foot shooting contest!

Alpha1971 @ 5/1/2025 11:27 PM
Bridges with 35 seconds, wow

We get it you don't like Thibs.

Watch the whole play. Bridges starts coming to screen and Tobias calls it out. As Bridges passes by Ausar peaks and starts to lean and Brunson begins his cross and Ausar is already on skates.

Its a well designed play, but you wanna talk about Cade's hot potato toss to Beasley

Alpha1971 @ 5/1/2025 11:31 PM
Brunson with 4 seconds. Clutch player of year !
NYStateOfMind @ 5/1/2025 11:36 PM
His best plays were his jump balls out of bound taps. Most of his games he had a negative +/-, to include this one.
