Knicks vs Timberwolves@ Target 12/28 8pm 

Post#1 » by bearadonisdna » Mon Dec 27, 2021 3:24 pm

As we speak their whole starting lineup is out , this can change at anytime we all know this.


Matchups :

5. Obi > Replacement player
4. Randle > Replacement player
3. Fournier > Replacement player

1.Kemba > Replacement player
2. RJB > Replacement player

——————-

Rotation :

5. Obi-18 |Mitch-30
4. Randle -35 | Obi-13 (Taj)
3. Fournier-35 |RJB-13

1. Kemba -35 | Quickly-13
2. RJB-22| Burks -26

1st option : Kemba . The offense been rolling he been our best player lately . 2nd half may switch to Julius.

Coaching : Thibs > Finch . The lines are getting blurrier by the day. Sometimes I wonder if thibs has a drinking problem ?

Keeping point forward energy at the 3. Fournier backed up by RJB. Burks of course can cover but I like him more for shooting and scoring than handling .

Everyone that matters.


Us when we face teams whose entire starting lineup is out

The strength of Minnesota's injury report vs. the longevity of our consecutive wins drought. Been almost 2 full months folks. Our last winning streak of any kind was against against the red-hot G-League Pelicans who almost beat us without Jabba, BI and had a young man named Herbert Jones playing starter minutes. Not exactly great.

Also, to all the people who have been bullying bearis recently for his ... unique posting style

If too many people are out isn't the game in danger of being cancelled?

I know Thibs would never do this but my ideal lineup:

PG: Kemba
SG: Grimes
SF: RJ
PF: Randle
C: Mitch

PG: Rose
SG: IQ
SF: Fournier
PF: Burks (super small ball)
C: Toppin

Where's Grimes and Deuce? Both will be back this game and will play.

IQ 13 minutes?

This is what you believe Thibs will do or this is what you would do as coach?


How can they even play the game under these conditions thats ridiculous. They're missing the entire team?

They’re playing tonight and up 7 against Boston with 5 mins left so apparently they’re more than capable of fielding a team

This is what I feel is a strong rotation for this particular game .

Just to answer your questions.

-Where is deuce ? 3rd pointguard
-Where is Grimes ? He is the 4th wing so will reasonably find minutes. In my rotation I feel I can cover with 3 guys and possibly IQ as a 4th.
-IQ only 13 minutes ? To me he is backup pointguard. He can supplement minutes for others who may not have it that night. Example : RJ, Kemba, Fournier, Burks

That's because they got that Hoya off the bench doing work at 31 y/o (green font)
