You can give 5 Thibs' to prime LeBron, Giannis or Jokic - he will play them like horses - they ain't getting injured. This league is so damn soft, stop making excuses for these bums. I get the pace is significantly higher than the 90s but so is the modern medicine, rehabilitation etc.
People need to understand - basketball players are among the dumbest athletes. And the athletes are not generally intelligent to begin with. They DO NOT know how to condition themselves. Because you have to be smart for it - there is no universal recipe - Lebron might need something, Jokic another, Giannis - third. But they figure it out by themselves. The rest - fine their ass until they broke. Stupid ass soft bums.
This has nothing to do with KAT, but in general.

This is the dumbest post I've read on this board in a long time. That's not a minor feat.
Sure, lets blame the coach the wussies getting hurt playing 30 minutes three times a week.

So, in a bid to prove you're hard you'd pay no regard to players' minutes. Got it.
Hypothetically, if there's a team who played their starters 45+ mpg, and they say our team is soft cuz we're only playing our guys 40+ mpg, what would be your response if you were Thibs? Just ramp up the guys mins to 45mpg right?? NO, we'll just say peace out, hope it works out for you, and stick to our 40mpg.
The same can be said about the competent coaches like Spo, Lue, Daignault, Moshley playing their starters/ key players only 35+ mpg. They see Thibs' 40mpg madness and just say peace out, hope it works out for you, and stick to their 35mpg. No good coach in their right mind sees Thibs' 40mpg, thinks it's a good strategy and tries to copy it. They just think "good, one less competition on the road to the championship".
What would YOU think of a hypothetical team playing their guys 45mpg? They're HARD right??
If we have 4 guys in the WHOLE League's top 10 in mpg... and other teams only have 1 guy each in top 10, and we have proof in the pudding every year our key players keep getting injured and this year it's KAT, and symptoms are looking like OG, Mikal and JB could be next, then you know something is seriously very wrong !!
