Agree with this. Mitch was the monster we needed vs Embiid. He would be needed vs the Cavs, maybe in the finals against Jokic/Gobert, but not really worrying about it now.

Pacers/Celtics Precious is the better matchup guy.

It just sucks that 2 rounds in, and we are down Bogdonovic and Mitch. Already down Randle. So that's 3 guys of a solid 9-man rotation out.

Minny will be in the finals...Joker just lost two at home and was embarrased in Denver...

Don't count out OKC.

So folks gonna ish on Mitch like it wasn't Embiitch literally ankle tackling him, and INTENTIONALLY reinjuring him? Come the **** on, some y'all disgust me...

Simssanity… he is fast enough to guard in perimeter and to run the floor… and has no emotions

If he’s going to stay here has to lose weight this summer though. Weight loss is mostly about diet, so even if he cant do much cardio at first he can still lose weight by just eating less calories. He probably likes that country soul food a lot, but the weight is killing his mobility and durability.

Isaiah and Precious got to hold it down. Two guys up for new contracts. We’re a tough team, but pretty small now. Our boys play bigger than they are, but in our rotation only 3 players are above 6’4” and Isaiah is the only one over 6’8”.

If we get by Boston, we’d better hope for Dallas or OKC in the Finals.

No, he's still got some shoulder issues but he's available to play, just been DNP-CD since April 12th.

Not sure if that means April 12th is your birthday and you're glad Alec Burks has been DNP'd since then, or if today is your birthday and you're glad that Alec Burks is available, or if you share the same birthday as Alec Burks and you're happy about that, but in any case, hope you enjoy it.

The max amount of minutes that Thibs might give to the bench is 40, rarely 50 if any foul trouble

Sims 8-12 mins
Achiuwa 15-25 mins
Burks 5-10 mins
Milton 3-5 mins
Jeffries 3-5 mins
McBride 15-45 mins (he has the largest compliance)

Plus Achiuwa and McBride both have had 47 mins games under Thibs this season

Which team would be worse, the Knicks without Brunson or the Thunder without SGA?

Thibs would go to a 5 man rotation before playing Milton or Jeffries, or probably Burks, a single minute in the playoffs.

Our players on borrowed time.

Hart is averaging an obscene 46.6 mpg, you have to go back almost 20 years to find guys playing that much (Arenas 47.3 in 6 games, LeBron 46.5 in 13 games)
