I didn’t watch the 1st half, and in the 2nd they at least showed some pride and fought back. We made it to a 2 pt game, but our defense doesn’t look good at all, at this time, and that’s crucial for making a real comeback.
All the injuries we’re having, with a new coach and a new system, we have to be patient, but the games are not a fun watch right now.
one piece of good news is that the cavs are only 3-3
Looks like Presti took Leon to the cleaners again with Ajay Mitchell.
Not as bad as the Wizards took him to the cleaners the night before. Kyshawn George is the new Jalen Johnson.
The Mike Brown era is definitely off to an uninspiring start but for all the talk of whatās different this year, the single biggest factor is quite obvious:
Josh Hart bpm last year: 2.8
Josh Hart bpm this year: -5.2
I donāt think having the coach who played him 38 minutes come hell or high water would be helpful right now.
My take is that finger has a lot to do with Harts issues . His shooting looks as bad as ever . For a guy built on hustle he needs to get that fixed.
I’m sure you’re right but how is a team with only 6 good, reliable basketball players supposed to survive one of them turning into a pumpkin?
I thought we’d have one great year before it all fell apart, and I’m sticking with that call even though it’s looking rough right now. But the bill for Leon’s blunders is coming, and this is a preview of how ugly it will be when it does.
Josh Hart bpm last year: 2.8
Josh Hart bpm this year: -5.2
Towns last year: 3.6
Towns this year: -2.3
Some of it is injury, but I think some of is system/role.
Neither is shooting well, but they both look lost at times to me.
There was no need for these kind of significant changes Brown is making to this team. This was a tinker job, some touch-up around the edges — not an overhaul.
“But the bill for Leonās blunders is coming, and this is a preview of how ugly it will be when it does.”
You can’t botch the draft and the importation of young talent as badly as he has and not pay a major price. It looked like, with the Indy and Celtics implosion, that there might have been a window to kind of luck your way out of the problem and challenge the really big boys in this window … but as of now, they’re a *long* way from those kind of projections.
Can’t see Brown lasting the season unless things turn dramatically around, in more ways than just temporarily on the court. This has got “Anthony Mason, point forward” written all over it — and that first year Nellie team actually did some very good things before Ewing had him shown the door.
But the bill for Leonās blunders is coming, and this is a preview of how ugly it will be when it does.
The blunders were picking a replacement coach with a long record of being “good’ not “great”, having lost locker rooms and having been dismissed by multiple teams. I said at the time that if we were going to replace Thibs (who was already good) we needed to be bold, take a risk and bring in a young guy that might be great.
I was OK with Yabu for Precious, but not a fan of Clarkson. I’ve been screaming for months that the biggest issue is defense. They addressed bench offense and made the defense worse other than Mitch being back. Then they put Mitch in the witness protection program.
You have to play defense to win consistently at a high level in the NBA. We have holes all over the place. I’m not sure how to fix any of this.
Towns and Hart are not going to be this bad forever, but we aren’t going anywhere against elite teams unless we defend at a high level, but we don’t have the horses.
Canāt see Brown lasting the season unless things turn dramatically around, in more ways than just temporarily on the court.
I didn’t think there was any chance they’d fire Thibs after just extending him and getting as far as we did, but I was wrong about that. I feel even more strongly they won’t fire Brown this year even if things don’t turn around (which they will, but likely not enough to be considered a serious contender against the west).
Eye test warning, but last night it seemed the biggest problem was we had zero rim protection. Even with Mitch in, I’d want to watch it again (but won’t), but he was never around the basket, I presume because he had to go out and guard Vuc (4-8 from three). Giddy and Dosunmu just ran to the rim over and over again. KAT was worse than useless, as was the fat corpse of Yabu. Mikal and OG would funnel drivers to… the rim, as nobody else was there.
Not pretty to watch.
Some Notes:
* Mitch did not look himself on defense, which was a big problem given our lack of defense in a lot of other spots.
* Mikal and Deuce were the primary defenders on Giddey. Mikal spent 1:22 more time guarding Giddey than any other defender on either side spent guarding a single offensive player. Why so little OG?
* Yabu looked better to me for what it’s worth. Hit a 3, missed a 3, and had a nice drive even though he missed the shot. He moved pretty well on defense. Still not a good outing and nowhere near what we’re paying him.
* OG was everywhere defensively. Forced a 24sec violation almost singlehandedly. Had 6 deflections, unfortunately many went out of bounds or into the Bulls hands. Cutoff or bothered a lot of drives by sinking into the paint. Played 2 in a pick and roll almost perfectly after he got switched onto Vucevic. There was one error where he got too aggressive cutting off a pass to Huerter, who then backdoored him.
* Shamet had a bunch of good looks that rimmed out. It’ll even out.
* Hart is a problem right now. 0pts, 1reb, 1ast is a Jared Jeffries line.
* Kolek had a couple good defensive sequences at least.
* May have missed a lot in the 4th getting ready for Halloween stuffs
You canāt botch the draft and the importation of young talent as badly as he has and not pay a major price.
I donāt often have a lot of overlap with Eās opinions, but this is one area where we strongly agree.
Leon has already taken this team way farther than I thought he could have, and itās the best stretch of play weāve had since the 90ās (although that is a very low bar).
But this team was built with a firm expiration date on it, and was built in a way that resulted in Tyler Kolek and Ariel Hukporti representing the āyoung talentā on the roster. There are no reinforcements coming from young players. Weāre very unathletic and everybody on the roster is hitting age 30. There was just no investment made in the draft or in young talent, to the point where the front office would find creative ways to make sure no draft pick was ever made.
If you had taken some flyers on guys in the draft, maybe some of them would have panned out and you wouldnāt be relying on Washed Clarkson and Dammit Shamet and the rest of the clearance rack bums who are racking up monstrous negative BPMs at the moment.
Maybe this team goes on a winning streak and starts looking more like a contender, but someday soon the bill is going to be due. This was a very short-term oriented way to build a roster, and when we reach that cliff weāre going to be right back to being the dregs of the league if Leon is overseeing the ārebuild.ā
OG was a plus 6 in a 10 point loss
And Towns was a plus 7
Towns has the second best plus minus on the team currently after OG
*interesting
Shamet currently sitting on a – 26 for the season. Only Hart has been worse
Tosan and Jemison currently on two way contracts need a look in the rotation
Brown was brought in largely because of his system. It isn’t surprising we’re running something different.
I’m not sure anything would have changed, but Yabu is theoretically a Brown system type of player. Maybe we pursue someone else if we hire a different coach, someone who can defend.
Look, as frustrating as things look right now, at least we won a meaningless game once upon a time that prevented us from drafting Ja Morant:
Ja Morantās play was so listless on Friday, coming off such a strong prior game, that I thought he must have been battling illness.
āIām fine,ā he said.
So what was wrong? Morant had one repeated response: āGo ask the coaching staff.ā
didnt we look better when deuce started? we actually hit 1 more 3 than the bulls did last night who else besides me thinks that it sure didnt seem like that maybe because they were hitting them in the 4th quarter when it mattered more
Thatās why Thibs doesnāt play his bench *
The drafting is looking not so great right now. But for some perspective:
* AJ Johnson, the player drafted ahead of Kyshawn George, shot 38% from the field last year and now only sees playing time during blowouts… for the Wizards.
* Dillon Jones the player drafted after Dadiet was drafted by OKC, then traded to and waived by the Wizards
* Ryan Dunn, who people are hoping develops a 3pt shot, is a worse FT shooter than Mitch right now.
* Tyler Smith, the player drafted before Kolek, was waived.
I remember when Ryan Dunn was a good shooter for the first couple of games in his career. If Dunn can touch an NBA court so can Tosan.
Towns last year: 3.6
Towns this year: -2.3
I didnāt realize it was that bad, but yeah thatās a problem, too.
KAT is a testament to the lasting power of first impressions. He got off to a blistering start last year before the league remembered how to guard him as a C. Heās been a lot less than stellar since defending him with a wing became the norm. If you could isolate KAT in the year 2025 (and Iām sure someone can) I bet he doesnāt look like a $54M player worth giving up Randle, Donte, and a pick for.
game 7 of a world series going down tonight…the 41st time it’s happened, it’s happened in about a third of all world series…
not so rare really…that’s surprising…last one was in 2019…
rooting for the jays, cuz i’m tired of the dodgers winning so much, feels like they’ve been dominating for a decade…
glad the astros aren’t in it, super sick of them…
even though the jays and rays are in the same division as the yanks, no real hard feelings against them, the orioles have been a bad club for a long time, rare periods of success…and boston is boston…
unlike the rays, the jays pay, so two big market clubs going at it tonight with a lot of named talent on the field…
scherzer versus shohei…
75% of those 40 game sevens have been decided by 3 runs or fewer…I’m excited…
From what I remember, KAT had a lot of niggling injuries the second half of last year. And so far this year, it seems.
If you just go with post-allstar game (Feb), which bref does kindly for us, he had a definite drop but not off a cliff.
His ptz/g dropped a bit, 24.7 to 23.8. Still pretty good. Rebounds dropped (13 to 11), but that’s still not bad. 3Pt went from .438 to .381 (again, .381 is not terrible). TS% down from 644 to 602. Usage actually went up a bit. Plus-minus dropped from 9.3 to 3.3.
This year he’s 18 ppg, 12.8 rebs, 3Pt .308 (!), TS% .537 (!), his BPM is -2.3, he’s never had a full year below zero. His FG% is down from a career average of 52.3 to 36.8, his eFG down from a career 57.6 to 42.6.
I’m not sure the numbers suggest the NBA figured him out halfway through the year last year. What they do say is he sucks so far this year. For reasons.
Blue Jays are going to that Scherzer well one time too many. Outside of their top two (one of whom is a rookie who doesnāt always have great command) theyāre badly outgunned in the pitching department. Game 3 was their chance to win this series. Iāll be surprised if Scherzer gives them quality innings.
wasn’t there one start of the season where thibs was trying to speed things up, then in december jalen just took hold of the ball and slowed everything down…
maybe faster isn’t better for every team…opens up your defense on the team’s transitions…
seems though that we won’t start winning ’til the defense/mitch gels…
scherzer’s facial expressions (good or bad) or worth seeing him up there on the mound…gonna be hard for anyone to stand on the mound tonight and not have a death grip on the ball…
I don’t know, they are professionals, so who knows…
lots of names on both sides, if i had to bet on just one guy to win it late: freddie freeman…he just has that that…hmmmmm, maybe mookie…
vladdy junior ain’t that shy a guy under the lights either though…this should be fun…
I’d guess the Jays would be thrilled to get 3 innings of one run ball from Scherzer, then go to the pen. All hands on deck.
Can he give them even that, though?
We are only 5 games into a new regime, so I’m gonna choose to be really optimistic. It’s true that we have way too much talent to be playing this way, but Mike Brown’s system is the polar opposite of Thibs’, and that’s gotta be a shock to the system even with training camp and preseason behind us. It’s gonna take a little time for the guys to hit their stride, but there’s alot to like so far. They just need consistency with their focus within the new system. Hell..Brown got Brunson and Clarkson to give better effort on the defensive side so that can only mean good things are on the way. I do wanna share one thing I really like and one thing I really dislike:
LIKE- Bridges and Anunoby on defense. Brown is using them in a much better way than Thibs did. And now that Mitch is back, I expect a much better defense in short order.
DISLIKE- KAT is still stuck pump faking then driving from the 3pt line. If he were healthy, it probably wouldn’t be as big an issue, but KAT really needs to start his possessions inside the arc. I’m not a fan of his handle out there
I might bet against him just giving up one run over 3 innings, but I am mostly certainly interested to see what happens…
maybe shohei shows out again…could be several stand out performances…
I’d favor the dodgers, but the jays are in it to win it…and maybe they will…
Increasingly looks like that I-Hart leaving was the fork on the road moment that closed the contention window for this team. Iām not convinced a team with KAT (and Brunson) defensively will ever be good enough to win the title.
you mean despite making it the conference finals last season…
in gaming the phrase used is: go outside š
actually you know what marechal, not my place to say – vent away…
it’s possible to see how convenient it might be to consolidate all the woes of the world in to a single source bucket – the knickerbocker shit is fucked up bucket…shift focus from more inconvenient truths…not a bad strategy…
yeah man, KAT is soft, jalen only makes himself better, josh is lost, yabu is lost, huk isn’t getting any more minutes…OG still can’t dribble the ball…our bench is pathetic…
we never should have done nothing that got us to this fucked up point in time, none of it…“If the rule you followed brought you to this, of what use was the rule?”
I am gonna sit down soon to watch my second rooting-interest game 7 of the year. Life is good outside of unconditional-love land.
Ja Morant cannot get out of his own way.
Maybe we can get him for Yabu.
From NBA.com:
“The Knicks have taken 49.4% of their shots from 3-point range.
Thatās the leagueās third-highest rate and up from 38.2% (28th) last season.
Overall, the league has taken a lower percentage of its shots from 3-point range (41.7%) than it did last season (42.1%), with 16 of the 30 teams seeing drops. The Knicks, under new coach Mike Brown, have seen the biggest jump by a huge margin ā¦
The change in shot diet hasnāt yet worked out for the Knicks, who rank 24th offensively, having seen the leagueās fifth biggest drop in points scored per 100 possessions from last season. The three Knicks with the most 3-point attempts ā OG Anunoby, Jalen Brunson and Karl-Anthony Towns ā are a combined 28-for-87 (32.2%) from beyond the arc.
Theyāll try to get the offense back on track when they visit the Bulls on Friday…”
