People figured out that you just put a much bigger defender on a Brunson. He’s not quick enough to blow by them, and they bother his shot. Cleveland was the first team I saw do it, with Dean Wade.
And we have multiple Brunson defenders to keep him occupied whenever he's on the floor.
Ya, we have zero clue how people will actually respond in the playoffs, players or coaching staff tbh. It's a completely diff animal than regular season, and I havn't seem much in terms of us being able to adjust mid series if things aren't going well. We also aren't gonna go far is Fox keeps scoring in the teens every game, like it or not.It is natural for us to be excited about a potential POs run but we should hold our horses a bit tbh... last time Spurs were in POs was 7 years ago. The only team winning after 7 years droughts is the Celtics after KG and Allen acquisition, a notable recent example is 20-21 Suns who reached finals after a 10 years PO drought. This kind of turnaround is obviously the exception especially for a very young team (Celtics were full of vets and Suns had CP3), our only vet is Barnesoh and we have a newbie coach.
So one day at a time, let's secure dat second seed and try to get through a first round before thinking of chipping

Honestly that Suns example is more encouraging than not -- they didn't only reach the Finals, they were up 2-0 on the Bucks before a historical chokejob (along with historical performances, like G7 Giannis) took place.It is natural for us to be excited about a potential POs run but we should hold our horses a bit tbh... last time Spurs were in POs was 7 years ago.

the Spurs may have better luck there
