The way that they moved the players around on the perimeter is the reason why they got so many of these open threes.
There's like one man to try and tag, and you got Vassell hanging out in the corner.
You got Champagny hanging out in the corner, and there's just the one guy.
So that was pretty smart from Mitch Johnson as well.
If I'm saying things I want to change, it's more so on the Knicks side.
I think Mikael Bridges needs to bring the ball up quite a bit in this game.
Brunson wore down throughout Game 3.
I think he's wearing down through the series in general because they're making him defend a lot more.
The Spurs are picking up the ball full court, making him work to even get into the offense for New York.
So I think Bridges needs to kind of initiate the offense.
It's a good way to get him involved.
The Knicks look their best when Bridges is doing something out there.
He was taken out of the game in game three, partly because of fouls and partly he was just
drifting for the most part it saves Brunson for the fourth quarter so have Bridges bring the ball up pass it to Carl Anthony Towns out on the elbow extended run those two-man actions we saw even if they get blown up a few times at least it's not Brunson just having to do everything and it just gets everybody involved the Knicks are a lot harder to defend when everybody feels like a threat
Absolutely.
Yeah, they got to move the ball.
Whether Cat has a little guy on him, he has to touch the ball.
I think it's as simple as that.
Mikel Bridges bringing it up in a non-fourth quarter minute is definitely a good way of going around that or getting around Jalen Brunson having to bring it up every single time.
I worry about Mikel Bridges bringing it up in fourth quarter minutes like he did when he gave it away in game two in that late game possession.
