FWIW, the Pacers had winning records against the Bucks and Knicks in the regular season.

Did you have this same energy when peopl were saying the same about Embiid?

some of that is by necessity. we don't have anyone as good at going one on one as Brunson. Siakam can do it a little, but he gets loose with the ball. Mathurin is out.

I'm not even a Sixers fan, just live in Philly. But yes I keep the same energy with everything because I'm CONSISTENT. Sixers built a team around Embiid so yes they pay the price for it every season - and the dumb GM still can't add a legit big man to back him up so team doesn't fall off when he's not in there. It's hilarious really.

I think this is astute. Maybe because it's similar to something I've previously written
Thibs rotations are not only short but they are rigid in terms of who plays with who. At minute 8, Mitch comes in for iHart and so forth. Which works great when you have everyone but then when you don't you have to adjust quickly. Phil Jackson would always make sure he tried out different player combinations throughout the season to get players that sort of experience playing together. This led to some of the postseason magic by unexpected heroes. Everything was familiar.
He only switches up when the injuries force his hand.
Has he ever explained why?
I went to one gsw-twolves game and saw him barking like a maniac all game. Thibs is pretty out there if you ask me.

We’re not passing the price because of the minutes played by game guys lol… most, if not all, of the injuries are not related to playing too much. As a matter a fact, the only injury where you can possibly debate that fatigue played a factor is OG’s injury. But he’s only played like 30 games for Thibs, with about 4-6 weeks of rest in the middle of those 30 games.
There’s definitely no argument that Thibs plays his guys an insane amount of minutes and has them out there too long but the Knicks injuries are not a result of fatigue or playing too much
LOL. The wheels are falling off and you’re still in denial that the heavy minutes are NOT taking its toll?

it’s hard to say… when you look at the injuries to some of the guys out it seems more like just freak accidents/bad luck.. are minutes to blame for batum rolling in to bogdanovic’s leg pretty much as soon as he checks in to the game in game 4 of the philly series which ended his season? or randle getting undercut by jaime jacquez trying to take a charge and him landing square on his shoulder? or embiid flailing and rolling over mitchell robinson’s already surgically repaired ankle ? the one guy who possibly has a case for injury caused my overuse is OG.. and maybe brunson’s latest injury as he’s been hobbled since game 2
