We are falling apart in the 4th...the minutes our 5 starters are playing are unsustainable

It finally clicked for me when I saw how many OPEN 3's Indy hit in the 4th :lol:

Prior to that I was saying to myself- "look at us- with 6 guys we are out-classing Indy"

If you tried to get a layup against Sims, you’d understand that he does bring something to the table :lol:

At the end of the half when Thibs played virtually 6 guys (Kolek 2 mins; Sims 4 mins or so), I turned to my wife and said, "watch us fall apart in the 4th quarter due to fatigue again..."

Lo and behold...

Big Shot Barrett said we can watch the game at his place and that he'll spring for the wings, beer, and weed.

As opposed to warming up with the intention of not playing?

I'm going to the game in January in Philly. So if I should yell, "YOU SUCK JOEL!!!!", is that "abusive language"?

Good to hear. Even though I dislike his game which mirrors an epileptic episode, he does bring energy and occasional scoring off the bench which we desperately need.

It'll hurt his feelings.

Most of the issues with the team are EXTREMELY correctable. Extremely.

The depth issue dissappears with health. But that as we know can be a very up and down thing esp with a Thibodeau team lol

The biggest one to me is defensive scheme to compensate for lack of rim protection. We have yet to see Thibs be successful playing for long stretches without a rim protector. But guess what? Precious in theory should be back pretty soon. Mitch should be back before the mid point of season.

If, if if they stay healthy Thibs if unsuccessful at playing KAT too many minutes at 5 almost definitely WILL switch to a combination of KAT at 5 and then twin tower approach.

The lineup of

Mitch/Precious/KAT
KAT/OG
OG/Hart/Bridges
Bridges/Hart/McBride
Brunson/McBride/Payne

Is a loaded line up capable of playing Thibs preferred style. What they lose in 5 out ability they gain in rebounding and elite rim protection. Thibs style has worked for this team 3 of 4 years marvelously.

No rebounds, no rings as Pat Riley used to say. Knicks lived off of 2nd chance points off of offensive rebounds last season from Hartenstein and company. Not so much this year.

Do you know who has better per 36 minute rebounding numbers than Randle and Hart and only one fewer than iHart and Mitch?

Precious.

Sounds like Payne and Deuce are both playing
