Except whoops he’s also hurt
Hart finished the game even after the knee injury
Was it knee? Thought he got Charlie horsed. Replay was too fast.
It looked like he banged knees with the driving grizzlies g-leaguer. But it didn’t look bad to me

We were smacking the absolute **** out of them until they made an insane run in the 4th, kept knocking down threes. Then DDV hit a dagger and Precious had a clutch tip-in. But yeah, a frustrating and worrying win.

Might actually end up be a blessing. These guys should be more rested for our playoff run.

Resting and getting injured arent the same though lol.
Listen we gotta see what is done at the deadline. We have to believe some move will be made for reinforcements.
I just don’t understand why Thibs hasnt learned all these years to trust his bench more. Mix them in with the starters to keep guys fresh at the wnd if the game and end of the season. I try to support him, but he makes it hard with his stubbornness and short sightedness. Team will be cooked by next month at this rate.

Right but if those injuries lead to rest Im not complaining. And its a catch 22 as far as trust. Because without those reps how do you show you can be trusted? It sucks that Thibs wont do it organically but if the end result is the same Ill take it.

I think when everyone's healthy, we're going to see a different bench rotation. Hard to imagine Grimes, Deuce, Precious, and Josh not seeing 10-15 minutes per. You really can't hide Deuce and Precious contributions with DNP.

Re: PG: Knicks almost lose the huge lead, Brunson goes down with an ankle injury, but they win.
I’m going to go out on a limb here and only blame Thibs for Randles injury and none of the others. That was really the I thought he was wrong for having him in the game. The guys he had out there were dominating the heat and Randle wasn’t needed. We didn’t know about Grimes and OG’s injuries until days later and wasn’t from an obvious on court situation.
I'm apart of a Knicks podcast! You Should check it out!

If our bench sucked so bad like most of the board claimed we wouldn't have won all but a single game recently without their contributions.
We'll be back to full strength with a bench that matured itself before our eyes
That means we'll be a scary team that will be able to wear other teams down
The silver lining exists because we found out we have a legit bench
The problem with the injuries would have been if we found our bench sucked
They don't suck. They're good. Count our blessings. Onward

Let's just hope they don't take any MRIs. Those MRIs keep uncovering things we don't want to hear about.

This. Its a Flaw but overall Thibs is a good coach, even very good. Yeah he drives us nuts, but who we gonna get thats better...Doc Rivers?
Some of you are too young to remember, but Jeff Van Gundy was reluctant to play Camby...until an injury to Ewing forced him to. Afterwards Camby took off and helped us get to the Finals. Thibs is conservative, but once you have proven yourself he pretty much will acquiesce IMO.
