Sometimes it just doesn't matter man.

Was i too harsh on Tom? Maybe. But damn.

Results orientated thinking. :nonono: :noway:

Too soft on Thibs if anything


I think two things are true though.

1) playing a 6 man rotation in January is malpractice and he should never do anything like that again if he survives this.

2) Sometimes sh*t happens.

Kenny did everything right and still got f*cked by injuries


its a crapshoot really, MDB...fate can be cruel even for those that dont deserve as such

Logic rules. No one thinks minutes CAUSE injuries all of the time. Playing guys in December 40+ a night though? Ridiculous. We have suffered overuse injuries as a result of too many minutes. Fact. We have had unfortunate injuries compound those issues. It's not a crapshoot if you don't bet against the odds.

Any good exercise regimen ramps up the workload, it's common fuggin sense. Cleveland isn't suffering because they played too few minutes. On the other hand... Josh/KAT had overuse injuries in December and OG suffered a non contact injury while playing the most minutes/games of his career.

Don't wave around a loaded gun and act surprised or worse.... nonchalant when it goes off and kills people,

Its ok guys, my Nuggets are taking a break because they only play 6 guys, 2 of which are severely banged up and injured. They lost by 100 in game 3 against Clippers two.

Nothing on Earth is stopping us from the dream Knicks - Nuggets finals!!!!

OKC would be interesting if they were still in Seattle.

New York vs Golden State or Minnesota would be ideal.
