bro. they don't wanna hear this. they're averaging 40-44mpg in their minds, which is good enough to rave about.
to be fair...two things can be accurate. I can't just look at a number and have it tell the whole story. Over the last month of play Brunson has been avg pretty close to 40 mins per night (38 for the month of Feb). The only game over the last month he played low 30's was the memphis game where he left that game with with 6 or so minutes left with an injury or he would have been on pace again.
That plus all the wear and tear of him running the offense adds up.
There is a bad luck element. But too many times when a guy goes down he just rolls the rotation up and plays guys crazy minutes.
Like someone will look at Josh Hart and say oh he's only playing 31 minutes a night...he's not playing crazy minutes. But over the last month of play he's been avging over 40 minutes a night...its the consecutive games at this level which is more concerning rather than the over full year minutes...
