nobody would want to come off the bench when it means they would hardly have any playing time

Not just starting 5, we all are getting exhausted by Thibs.
Get this man some help either personnel or medical.


We do need to open up the rotation, but the Knicks have been one of the healthiest teams in the league this season.

Giving up 140 to the Bulls is just inexcusable in every way. Not even looking at Thibs. Truly missing that defense and theres some that are not putting in the effort, or not living up to their contracts. One 40 point game, FK your apology forms. We gave up too much for someone vastly overrated.
There's something about an underdog that really inspires the unexceptional.

He's playing a career high in minutes and has been playing 41mpg since December 1st. Expecting a guy to play high level defense night in and night out while playing that much and scoring 20ppg in this era is crazy.

Little Randle should bench himself but he's selfishly trying to get an all star selection, probably to make up some of that money he didn't take.

Not 10 months ago I was defending Thibs minutes allocation with such vigor. It was pretty obvious in yesterday's game most of the starters were gassed. Not trying to develop the bench during the light schedule seems like such a bonehead move on his part. If he isn't going to trust the bench against teams like Washington, he isn't going to trust the bench against better teams.

That's the key: using early season games to get the bench the NBA experience it needs. Having a handful of guys who can go for at least 10 minutes would be a life saver for this starting unit.

One of them I believe is ready to go already which is Kolek, but I'd have wanted Dadiet and Hukporti to start by getting 5-10 minutes on the floor until they get better and are ready to go 10-20 minutes when needed.

There is no excuse for saying our bench sucks if you don't use the talent you've got. Dadiet and Huk actually have talent. They just need to get their reps now.

Payne and Shamet will play if those guys don't and at this point I'd rather develop Dadiet than play either of them and Huk can take a few of Precious' minutes to get his feet wet. Precious is erratic. He has big games and then he stumbles. I don't know that Huk would be better, but he showed he has a natural grasp of the PnR and he will go hard on D and he has the size, strength and wingspan of a legit center unlike Precious.
