Couldn't get the stop.  That burns Thibs more than the free throws.   Bulls have a go to closer.

Yeah. But it's also true that the Bull's closer missed the other night.

Happy with Brunson. Hasn't played the role of "The Man" in his pro career.

But he'll almost certainly get there.

If we win Sunday against Philly, all will be beautiful in Knickland.

RJ has been playing sooooooo fucking good.

But...

(and here Chip scowls at me)

Occasionally, he's got to drive the bus all the way home.

And this has eluded him to date.

Of course! Of course everyone is culpable. I saw the game.

But that's not the point.

I'm saying that when RJ starts becoming the player that some have fantasized.......we'll all know it.

He'll produce some wins.

That's what the best guys in the NBA do. In a team sport, they manage to exert their will.  It's crazy how it happens. But you know it when you see it.

My gut feeling is that Brunson is playing through aches and pains

Too much Dieng and Milton

Embid and Harden top tier

Philly turned up the D in fourth

Everything that went right for RJ last time out, was not clicking offensively

Monster game for Julius

Harden schooled  Grimes

Rotation
« Reply #25795 on: December 25, 2022, 02:58:28 PM »

Our 9 man rotation is really a 7 man rotation: we are playing 3 centers and a total of 6 minutes for our second PG. So, the way I see it is:
Starting Center, 29 minutes. Bench centers, 27 minutes.
Four other starters: 40, 35, 39 and 43 minutes. Bench guard(s), 28 minutes.
That is the kind of rotation that Thibs and Chamaco like. The problem is that the guys are very tired at the end of the 4th quarter, when it counts most, and therefore they make a lot of mistakes, like we saw today and last Friday.

In addition to our mistakes, their two best players are way better than any of ours. There is no way we can beat the 76ers, even being ahead most of the game.

Merry Christmas!

Correct you are, BowliVar.

Julius
Jalen
RJ

40 + PLUS

Grimes + IQ

GASSED

Fourth Quarter, no legs under our jumpers.

Two steps slow on defensive closeouts.

A tactical-rotational adjustment needed.

We are still marginally ahead of schedule. We need to win a couple now to keep treading water.
