PG: Knicks vs. Mavericks (They Left Their Offense in Denver)

[Reign23]

40 mins OG
40 mins Bridges
40 mins Hart

in a game we were down 15-20 basically nearly the whole game

team looked tired with no legs...I wonder why...

I watched a half and the saw the minute logs at the end. I really couldn‘t believe my eyes… even knowing thibs.

Part of coaching is adapting when starters don't have it.

Adapting to what? You think the backups were going to dig the Knicks out of a 20 point second half hole?

Yes

Your thanksgiving dinner...

The point is that you should be recognizing when your starters don’t have it early and start working the brain muscles to figure out something else before you get in a 20 point hole

I don’t know about thibs but once kyrie walked to the rim unbothered, missed a floater, got his own rebound, and put up another lazy uncontested floater to push the score to 7-20 that would’ve been all I needed to see. Timeout. Pac in, huk in bare minimum. These guys on the floor don’t have it tonight. The rookies weren’t gonna play worse than the starters. Might have outplayed them. There have been many many games where this is the case around the league.

Thibs won’t even adjust to see if it’s one of those nights.

Kyrie is Thibs real dad.
Down 7-20 Kyrie gets an uncontested floater into granma putback, the orc lords big idea is then to play 3 starters 40 minutes.

Second round dumpstering where we are starting duece, shamat, bridges on sprained ankle, precious and sims is gonna be lit.

It's even simpler

Thibs thinks he can win every game until the clock runs out. It doesn't matter if he's down by 80 points with a minute left in the game.

When a player like OG is repeatedly collapsing in a heap because his legs are giving out you're going to lose if you keep playing him.

So sit the man down and if you lose playing rookies, you lose. Thibs is an idiot in that way, because everyone else that wasn't Ray Charles saw it.

There was no viable scenario where playing OG in such a state was a positive. NONE.
