I’ll rephrase exactly the same thought in short bullet points so maybe you’ll understand:
• Literally nothing is Thibs’ “fault,” including the injuries, until the minute they fire him for it.
Thibs increases the odds of player injury by:
• Increased minutes;
• Increased intensity;
• Increased physical contact at the rim.
Period. I said nothing different. I dodged no questions. It’s still plain as day, and the entire basketball universe understands and accepts it as the cost of doing business with Tom T.
Still avoided all the questions lol. Brunson's knee getting hit by another player's knee on a jumpshot is a result of "Increased physical contact at the rim". Have you ever seen players bang knees in basketball before?
Yes. The cumulative effect of Thibs playing Brunson (Randle, Mitch, OG, D. Rose, etc.) increased minutes at increased intensity with increased contact made it more probable that the very specific incident you just cited would happen sooner or later.
To dive further into the concept of cause and effect is a question of religion and philosophy—idk who’s at “fault” for the formation of the solar system, but I sure as sh*t can tell you that Coach Thibs will increase the odds of player injury.
