Your argument is Knicks starters only play 35 minutes? I can't deal with delusion.
it's not an argument. nor is it delusion. towns and brunson were being discussed.
that's what towns and brunson played. all season long and in the playoffs.
Jalen played 38 mpg in the playoffs, but it’s also the issue that not all minutes are the same. His high usage and our heavy reliance on him on offense combined with the opposing team putting elite wing defenders on him +doubles, in addition to hunting him a lot on the other end, makes it a lot tougher minutes than say a 3&D guy who stands in the corner most possessions.
Same could be said for guys like Mikal… this dude got hit with the most screens in the league guarding out of position while never missing a game playing the most minutes… like he said it’s hard on the body.
I mentioned this once in the other thread, but our starters playing 770 more minutes than the Pacers starters thru the season is insane. That’s 16 extra games we played more than them.
