Yup let's take the worst injury timeline. And assume all other teams stay fully healthy. Good math. Place your bet then.


So far the Knicks have had pretty much the worst case scenario with injuries. Plus, if you weren't paying attention, they are being deliberately cute and vague about how long the recovery etc will take.

Yeah, I'll stick with it's 5 or 6 weeks before you see OG and Randle.

iHart might come back in 2 weeks to hobble around on his reduced achilles like he did last year though.


This expectation that the organization owes the fans detailed injury timetables is what's cute.

Edit: I should ask if this post is a joke. You might claim so later.


I don't think they owe me or any other fan anything. I'm just commenting on observable behavior.

OG and Randle won't be back before 5 weeks.

Compared to Taj, you could get more effective center minutes from Deuce.

Some nice bench scoring sure but Bo is no full time 4 that's for sure and sad to say for as hard he tries Precious isn't a full time 5 either. Knicks need to hit a home run on a buyout center, like a thunderbolt from the BBGods into their lives...

I have no clue who could that be...but without it the Knicks are slipping down the stretch.

Pacers play at a high pace. Aptly named team.

They only played their starters around 30 minutes each, and went 9.5 deep. They always sub guys in and out, and dont overplay their starters. That’s how they keep everyone fresh and playing fast. The only players who log over 30 mpg for them on the season are Hali and Siakam, at just 33 and 32.

Thibs only went 7.5 deep against them.

I know we’re short handed, but part of that is on Thibs. He’s going to break Precious and Donte next at this rate. Guys were gassed in the 2nd half and got ran off the court.

Leon needs to sign some bodies asap. Thibs could have put Jacob in to guard his bro at least. Why are him and Charlie Brown even on the damn team if they cant get in at all when we’re decimated in February? I know they’re G Leaguers but I thought it was next man up. Couldn’t be worse than Taj.

Not too mad at the loss considering the circumstances, but health is more important. Thibs will never get it.

Misquoted, too.... 'we can't keep looking ahead and say we're gonna be good, we gotta be good now'...that's not what the tweet says it is.

It's subtle, but the misquote has an element of self negging in it and is kind of opposite of the mindset Brunson is speaking about so the actual ruote is a forward thinking way of saying a similar sentiment. It's a little bit of journalistic scuzziness in twisting the words if that was the intention of the media.
