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.

a thought. would def address the total minutes side of the concern.

but the league penalizes healthy scratches. i think you could get away with it in the case of long-term injury management. mitch is probably the only player who meets that criteria.

despite the tone, the team has been quite healthy so far.


The bench hasn't been healthy all season and three of the starters have been banged up for weeks. They haven't had the terrible luck ORL has had but, the injuries are beginning to pile up and the players look worn out. KAT/Brunson/OG all look gassed and seem to be dealing with injuries that linger. OG hasn't made the injury list but, something is clearly wrong with him since that 40 burger.

We have not been full strength at any point in the season. The closest we were was the recent win streak we were on. I don't think it's a coincidence but, I'm just a dude who be talking. :lol:

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?? :nonono:

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 !!

Tendons are the most mysterious soft tissue in the body. World experts have different opinions on best ways to treat and research is still inconclusive at times.

What KAT has might be largely resolvable in a short timeframe ie 10 - 14 days; however that’s best case.

Depending on the severity, average humans with average medical care often deal with tendinopathy for 3+ months. Given he’s an athlete with top doctors helping, it’s more likely to be max 4 weeks unless it’s a severe case.

I will dare say that the Knicks starting 5 is the best conditioned unit in the sport based on the insane workload they've undergone so far this year.

That being said, these guys are human beings, not machines who can just go get their parts replaced when things get worn down.

KAT's knee, OG's elbow, Deuce's hamstring...this isn't a conditioning issue. KAT's knee is a clear sign of overuse and OG is right behind him.


Thibs is like Tom Coughlin in some ways. Smart as heck but stubborn as a mule when it comes to players health. Total blind spot and I wonder when Rose will get involved (if ever).

The only way to save him from himself is have players he would trust enough on the court. Mitch is 1. Hopefully trade for another.

He raved about Sims all season until 14 games ago. He started him. Then he never plays again. Then a month later he starts him again. :o

He raved about Payne/Deuce/Shamet all through pre season and recently when asked. They barely play together and two of them barely play at all since Shamet return. :dontknow:

We know what Precious has done when given the opportunity to start for us and since then. He doesn't start him over Sims? :dontknow:

You need to give him 8 all stars who will never get hurt in order to win it all. He's a turd burger. :nod:
