I agree. I know Mike was probably evaluating but I didn't really think Brunson and Mikal needed to be out there that late.

I'm so happy I hyped him up like I did when we drafted him. I had a very good feeling about him, especially with his self-awareness in how he spoke in interviews

I would love to see him and OG on the floor together to see what kind of chaos they would create

Yeah we've lacked physicality since Julius departed. We need a player who can be a physical presence in the paint offensively and defensively... Huk is strong but he's a finesse type, doesn't necessarily like to be physical. I think Jemison helps.

One of my guilty pleasures of when Thibs was here was he would go all out in preseason. As a selfish fan I loved it because I was not trying to watch third stringers :lol:

Agreed, although I do think Huk gives us some of that but we need more.

I don't mind Brown getting Brunson and Mikal regular rotational minutes in 1 game before the season starts.

If he begins keeping the starters in up 20+ throughout the season with less than 3 minutes to go against other teams' 3rd stringers before calling for the bench and refusing to call for a timeout or a foul while multiple possessions go by and the starters don't actually come out of the game until it is close to 1 minute left I will start to complain :D

This is as ridiculous a comparison as you can find. Running guys ragged on short rotations for 82 games vs letting guys get regular rotation minutes in one preseason game are not even remotely the same thing. They hadn't played in a week. Isola is a hack and people are buying this BS?

NO.

What’s the consensus on Diawara? He looks like he's a keeper.

Minutes Police received a call reporting a minutes violation in accordance with the Minutes Treatises of 2014 (MT-14). We are still reviewing the evidence but no arrests have been made at this time. We will be monitoring the area going forward.

:lol:

It's preseason. 5 games in two weeks. They didn't even play in the previous game and barely played in the other three as well. Isola being a troll and dumb ass Begley chiming in is absurd. This isn't in any way shape or form what minutes police were talking about.

MT-14 was developed as a targeted response to Thibs stochastic minutes terrorism with the Chicago Bulls. Brown has never reached such depths but he's on the watch list and minutes police officers have been advised to prepare accordingly.


Also, Christ, take Brunson out of the game. WTF.

MT-14 was developed as a specific response to Thibs stochastic minutes terrorism with the Chicago Bulls. Brown has never reached such depths but he's on the watch list and minutes police officers have been advised to prepare accordingly.

I can't say I didn't think it was odd but, these guys need reps to figure things out. They need to get in game shape. Practice only gets you so far.

This is a false report. MT-14 should not be used as click bait fraud

This is unsurprising considering his injury history.

He cannot be relied upon to be healthy for an entire season.

If being load managed is the only thing that will keep him healthy for the playoffs then so be it.

The only alternative is trading him.
