This is insane!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

def not sustainable, but also not expected to be sustained.

but coach does this in tough times, which can be precarious.

Josh

OG

Mikal

Or all of the above?

on one hand i'm thinking blowout and no one goes over 36. on the other hand, it's a back-to-back could be close due to tired legs and they might be tasked to push through for a W here.

mikal and josh go 40 if it's close.

it's clear to everyone that he is going to do the same sht this year. hopefully no one suffers a career altering injury before he is let go.

bench not exactly thin. we came into the season with 2 rotation guys hurt. we at least expected to have precious eating 5/4 minutes until mitch got back.

Yea, we're 9 deep on paper, with our 3 rookies potentially providing a 10th man by committee. Just everyone isn't healthy now.

This!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

All of this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The issue is KAT/Brunson is more like Gasol/Kobe than Shaq/Kobe. KAT doesn't have that Shaq Diesel I am gonna get mine mentality even if the skill set to do that is there.

This team reminds me a lot of the Fisher/Kobe/Artest/Gasol/Bynum lakers.

there is no reason both can't cook but it makes sense for Brunson to try and get KAT going early because that will just open up things for Brunson late.

It's hard to rely on mitch at all at this point. He is hurt so much.

And even with him back thibs still is known to run players into the ground.

i was thinking earlier, the funny part is actually that it's our bench being hurt that's causing our starters to have to play more than they should

He has options though.

Huk and 3pac have shown they can give some decent mins in the limited time they've played.

He could sub huk for OG and slide kat to the 4 to give og some rest

It's just rough knowing that theyre going to hit the playoffs looking like they're in the final season of a post apocalyptic tv series.

Que evale for a photoshop of Thibs & the starters:

This is the perfect chance for this team to show that the ups and downs are done with and they can go on a winning streak.

When it was Randle/Brunson, we always got Julius off in the first quarter too and that never affected Brunson’s game.

It doesn’t matter who the #1 option is.

The interior defense is still not good and the bench is downright terrible. Only so far you can go with a terrible bench. And even worse without McBride.

Better scorer than Randle

Better passer than Randle

Better rebounder than Randle

Better mental than Randle.

Marcus Morris and TJ Warren are both still unsigned. Warren is the the W Knicks I believe.

i quit after they regurgitated the same conflict of them coming upon a compound where the people were mean for the millionth time. and now seeing that they have a tiger i think i might have jumped ship a lil prematurely.
