Honestly no idea.

Im not against mitch. I think he has been instrumental in our past success. And I think he has immense talent. But im extremely worried about how his injuries will hinder him both on the court and staying on the court. Plus with how we play now I don't know if he is truly needed as much as keeping the guys we have on the court. which is why I want to trade him for a bench player to keep og and jHart fresh.


The importance of Mitch is that he can help precious cover the minutes of OG and KAT more, right now precious is covering for the entire 3 of Mikal, OG and kat


the downside is you can't play Mitch and Precious together....Thibs tries to even stay away from Hart/Precious together because of the lack of shooting. Having 2 non-shooters will muck up spacing.

So Precious minutes at the 4 would all have to be with KAT out there. It complicated things. But we could also play KAT some at the 4 alongside Mitch.

But Precious would have a much lesser role if/when Mitch comes back. I assume that is why we have some interest in Boucher...he perfectly compliments Precious off the bench.


I say you gotta run Mitch, precious, deuce, cam, Mikal with that second unit
Just let Mitch set picks and have precious in the dunker’s spot

He's done it a few times. The problem was he would only play one other guy like 6-9 minutes thus the 7.5 man rotation. The last few games he woke up. The entire league and media and fan base were all talking about it. They were all correct. I think the FO said something to him as well.

Maintain this rhythm and I have no complaints. The bench does NOT suck. They just nedded to play more!

Aside from Steph (and that's all time HOF level), is there any small guard even in Patriot missile distance with Brun?

Sidebar: are we willing to talk about Deuce’s struggles yet?

I got time though. We can revisit in another ten games or so when he’s rebounded.

Them: Brunson's not a good PG, doesn't make a lot of plays
US: Brunson had 15 assists

THEM: Brunson can't score against a good team that defends him
US: Brunson scored 30 with 10/16 shooting and 3/6 3's.

rather have a wing cover for our wings and precious is fine as a backup big for kat.


And only precious as a backup big?!?!


Sure. It seems to be working well right now.

We have Sims and huk too

I think Kat wears him down...


He's just as strong. Jokic can't get to his spots low and it rattles him.

I think that's part of his issue with fouling. Like Shaq, he's just stronger than everyone. It's not as much of an issue with Jokic because it's two titans battling.

he looked exhausted...my one knock on the Joker- get in shape...Could you imagine a chiseled Joker Cap? :o

Even with us having a short bench, we seemed to overwhelm them late.
