Last year Thibs couldn’t seemingly have Brunson and kat on floor at same time. This year they’re making beautiful music together

Can one of you basketball nerds explain what brown has done particularly on defense? They were each targets last year and now????

In a desperation game at home, Cleveland could only muster 1 quarter win by 4 points.

They done.

Malcolm Brogdon has been huge for us.

1999 was a fun wild ride but we knew that team had no shot against the spurs. This team is real

Well, Brunson is a better defender this year for starters and since Brown emphasizes more man to man defense that matters. Brunson puts a lot of effort into staying in front of his man now and he often does a decent job

We switch now due to court communication and awareness as a team. Thibs would have them switching, but it was lazier and more performative sometimes than effective

In general, the best defensive teams play man defense as much as possible.

KAT just wised up finally about 3/4's of the way through the regular season and stopped reaching and hooking. He's capable as a defender.

Thibs would have our defenders sag off the perimeter, because he was obsessed with plugging up the lane. It didn't work that well because we'd get burned on the perimeter and had one of the worst 3 point defenses in the NBA under Thibs.

You don't have to sag if you commit to man defense, communicate well and switch when one of your guys get picked off by a screen

Also, Browns stunts double coverage more strategically than Thibs ever did. It is not a given we'll double team the point of attack, but we do it enough that the other team doesn't know what to expect.

I don’t know how it would have worked $$-wise but could you imagine Malcolm in place of Jose ?

I honestly hope we don’t see Jose again. Both okc and SA have huge back courts. Jose will be toast plus he’ll just get us in penalty w stupid hero-ball fouls

Happens to everyone. And considering where they are, they'd have nothing to lose by trying him.
