Then I'm confused by what you meant by anti-spacing lineups if not playing Hart & Achiuwa together at the forward spots.

As for your next post, Brunson-McBride lineups just haven't worked well in the minutes they've shared so far. The defense has been rough with Deuce at the 2.

For the anti spacing lineup is Taj/Precious/Hart

I understand maybe Deuce at 2 hasn’t worked as you said but just to spare guys. 11 minutes after playing 40 mpg is wild.


Deuce and Jalen played a whopping 61 minutes together...the entire season! :lol: Stats are amazing!! This chart tells you the team is better without both of them!! :lol:

Jesus.


The sample size is why I wrote "in the minutes they've shared so far" and the chart doesn't say we're better without both of them. Did you misread it or are you just lying again?

What?
Both players off= +8.2 in 147 minutes
Both players on= -4.79 in 61 minutes

This is a meaningless sample size and a meaningless chart. Lying again? Stop dude. The only lying is that you aren't Zach LaVine!! :lol:

If we didn't trade him it would have been a big scene. Pepe LePew can go stink it up in DET!!

I'm happy for him that he was traded.

That said. Going to Detroit, 8-44. What's the over-under on Detroit wins the rest of the way? 3 more wins? 11 total.

I hope he gets some minutes.

Safest play is to rest IHart through the break. No need to take unnecessary risks. Gotta keep the eye on the real prize.

I agree with Fournier...I'm excited he's out of NY.

I don't even want Thibs to have to the option of playing iHart before the break, please just rule him out.

Hopefully the new guys got a practice in. I expect Boggy to have a much better game tonight.

He had it when we signed him. It got better as the year progressed. He re-aggravated it a couple weeks ago. Came back and hurt himself again. We need another big man pronto.

yeah I can actually see that. it requires an insane amount of rehab which isn't so simple for a professional athlete and a 7 footer.

(as someone who had patellar tendonitis and couldn't walk down a flight of stairs for 3 months without warming up my knee for an hour)

and as I understand the current cutting edge thoughts on tendon rehab, complete rest and shutdown + just rehab is actually discouraged. it makes sense why he was on a minutes restriction earlier if tendonitis is what hes got.

It's true he had it to start last season and it improved, along with his play, as the season went on. He was also only playing backup mins during that time so it might be that the starters mins, and Thibs style starter mins at that, may be not allowing the recovery to happen as fully.

It could be that a couple weeks of total rest gets him back to normal and as long as he doesn't play 44mins a game it won't recur so quickly....yea, yea, I know....joker Thibs.

All of this. Thibs has little concern for player safety. When one breaks he adds the load on to the other 8-7-6 until we see what we are seeing now.
