That said it would be great to give Kolek some time when maxey sits. (Btw maxey played the entire second half, I believe)

If og is out or hampered I expect to see more of sochan than diawara. A lot will depend on how hart is doing against Paul g.

Yeah this is a fair take and definitely worry for Brown. But man in the few minutes I did see of GTA, he struggled to make entry passes.

Miles needs to get his head out of his ass and Jose needs to ride pine. Shamet and clarkson were more effective

Og was huge, Jalen clutch and KAT was great when he wasn’t a dummy. Mikal played great d and hit his shots. Josh had a few series where he was scared to shoot but yet again after being hurt he comes in gets key rebounds and deflections and tough d on much longer Paul G

Josh was killing me with some bonehead plays and losing guys again on D after an AWESOME game 1. He did make some big passes on the break and big rebounds but his D overall took a big step back after almost heroic effort game 1.

Deuce needs to clean it up --- too many playoff spots where he shrinks or gets toasted defensively - Jose non factor last night. I do think both these cats could play big in Philly on the road.

If OG out I'd be tempted to throw Sochan in just to bring defensive mindset, hit the boards and just mix things up with an agitator (I don't expect that to happen but if OG down we are going to miss the physicality he's been bringing every night.

The Knicks were about to turn it over up 5, instead they got to reset, Brunson drew a foul and the Knicks went up seven. All the pressure went on Philly to score 3 times quick and get two stops, Knicks just had to run out the clock.

I'm thankful Philly didn't draw out the last 30 seconds fouling. Sorry guys who bet the over and the Knicks.

I thought it was the Mikal jump shot off of a couple of botched possessions I think to put us up 5.

Thought your play was huge as well - sometimes these guys have a guy trapped and on the ropes but instead bail him out with a foul.

He also overdribbles consuming time and disrupting flow and can’t shoot. Id much prefer clarkson or shamet. Clarkson contributes in a lot of ways and shamet brings length and can shoot

I missed the Clarkson minutes too. Was he not effective?

I thought he was effective. He is our only backcourt or wing who can reliably create his own shot (other than Brunson)

He finds a lot of ways to contribute. IIRC he missed a corner 3 and that’s the last I remember seeing him. Maybe brown thinks he’s too slow to stay in front of philly’s guards?

Wish Huk could have gotten more burn in the regular season on the Mitch recovery days

I’m a Huk fan so my take is somewhat biased. I think it was too youthy and trying a touch too hard to make a big play/impact instead of doing his primary role at the time which was to contribute size and eat minutes. It was also during a stretch when the refs were particularly bad.

I hope it was a learning moment because I think we’ll need him going forward if teams are going to do the hack-a-Mitch

Was just listening to the KFS post game. Apparently Clarkson has not hit a 3 since March 20 so he would be an easy target to do the old Josh Hart leave him defense and collapse and help on KAT/Brunson or anyone.
