Glad we won the cup, and beat Cleveland.

Let's not forget that a bunch of young players played key roles during these wins. Means there is sooo much room for improvement. Even this season into the playoffs type of improvement

The more time goes by the more obvious it seems replacing Thibs with Brown was the right move. Thibs would not only be burning out our starters again he wouldn’t be giving all these young players a chance to contribute and develop.

You sound young. Or senile. Either way, congrats!

Exactly. Whatever this team is we won’t know until May/ June

This team has been together for a while now and the trends that keep repeating are telling if you dare to open your eyes:

The defense has never clicked since they lost Isiah Hartenstein. It seems like the last bit of it was running on the spirit of Thibs, because we are running on empty of it. This isn’t a bad stretch, as even our best moments from the last two seasons included poor D.

Effort has been a question mark on this team for a while now. Scrappy was replaced with finesse, and so far they are failing on this, to the point that everyone asks what’s this team’s identity.

It was supposed to be an offensive team, but the offense is already broken. KAT is spiraling out of control, Mikal is Mr. Consistently Vanishing Man and O.G. “Gimme da money” Anunoby is as inconsistent as ever.

The bench is back to being nothing, the kids have either regressed or simply vanished.

Does this team have another good streak in them? Probably, because they have Brunson and opposing teams sometimes suck enough, but Mike Brown, who seems to have added nothing to this team so far, asked at the start of this mess what kind of team would they prove to be against adversity. They are kind enough to let us know this early that they are the same pretenders they were last year. Maybe even worse.

Not arguing with this at all. I still like Mikal and OGs fits. Just can’t expect more from them than what they have always been. Whatever the issue with KAT/ brown is, front office needs to figure it out now and decide on a direction while they are still 7 games over .500.
