Ok, well, it's probably calculated by the combined minutes played by the players that are the 'starter' each game average over the games played.
Knicks near the top but not the very top, I don't see people constantly talking about minutes for the Celtics, Wolves, Nuggets and even injury prone old teams in Suns and Lakers.
I'm sure someone will come right in behind this post telling me how Thibs is worse because he plays all the starters 40mpg and a 7man rotation, ignoring that the actual data disproves it.
What's up bro? You mad because you were wrong in another thread and wanna throw subs in this one? Figures. Grow up little boy.
So it seems you are listed with all three of broken brain, butthurt and bruised feelings... I feel the swelling on the forehead acting up again...
Still unanswered question... are you ok with a worse record for a longer rotation?
Also still unanswered question... what do you think my point is and how is it 'wrong'?
I don't care to engage with you anymore because facts and context escape you. I made a true statement and you can't let it go. We weren't winning when Thibs was running the short rotations in the end. Period. So that's a ridiculous point to try and make. We were lucky to get a few wins at first but, the wheels continued to fall off as a result. He ran them into the ground. Several players were worn out by the break. Did you miss that part of the season? Cutting minutes from Deuce for Burks(which I originally said was a small sample size) was dumb. We needed everyone to play to protect players health as opposed to losing every game while players kept getting hurt. Short term vs long term results. If you can't see that, then I don't know what to tell you.
It started when Mitch went down. Suddenly iHart went from playing 18-20 mpg to 35-40 mpg for weeks until he re-aggravates an achilles issue that he had when we first got him.
We trade for OG and Thibs ran him 40 mpg until he came down with an elbow injury that is the result of overuse.
We lost Randle at the same time late in a game we were winning by double digits. I don't necessarily blame Thibs for that injury but, it happened.
We get iHart back and he re-aggravates the same injury.
He played Brunson/DDV/Hart/Precious 40+ mpg for weeks. We lost Brunson for a game. We lost DDV and Boj(who was injured when we traded for him) as well.
So why are we cutting minutes for Burks again? Deuce is the only player in the rotation who wasn't injured besides Precious. We needed all hands on deck. That's a fact that escapes you as you continue to insult me.
So whatever you want to keep coming at me about is insanely ridiculous. You are just being a snarky dick bag as you admitted. Maybe it's you who suffers all of the above issues. It's pretty clear that is the case.
Risking his career for those reasons is just YOU hoping to get him back and not any reality based decision making process.
