Don’t recall ever seeing a team battle this many injuries in a season. It’s laughable at this point.

Thank god for Previous

Agreed. We just need bodies though.


Isn’t “Next Man Up” our mantra?

Previous is always good for some foolishness on the court, however it seems like Thibs has him sorted to minimize the stupid plays.

precious will play well

im very confident in this because his strengths match up perfectly to what indiana likes to run.


its just not a mitch series and ive been trying to tell everyone this for a week now.

This isn't a series for Mitch, but hopefully he has a speedy recovery.

ChaHell lost most of his powers backing Burks, he hasn't been the same since we traded for him. His redemption arc only happens if Burks plays like MJ more than a future Shanghai shark


Precisely my point.

Also, Jokic, Westbrook, and Curry down bad.

I am with you on this one. Only up to Thibs to free Previous.

Thibs has done well with Previous since he joined the Knicks. He seems to have a defined role with a specific set of instructions to follow and execute on.

Sure as hell didn't see that with the Raptors.

Brother has been playing injured for the duration of his NBA career. Just does not seem like his body is built to withstand the rigors of the National Basketball Association. It's truly a shame.

Agree with this. Mitch was the monster we needed vs Embiid. He would be needed vs the Cavs, maybe in the finals against Jokic/Gobert, but not really worrying about it now.

Pacers/Celtics Precious is the better matchup guy.

It just sucks that 2 rounds in, and we are down Bogdonovic and Mitch. Already down Randle. So that's 3 guys of a solid 9-man rotation out.

Man this is a big blow and I'm not the biggest fan of Mitch although he's been playing great... just don't think his body can hold up the grueling seasons and he's not very disciplined and at times easily baited by pump fakes... but I think Precious can step up...

Next man up and we always find a way have been this season's theme
