GT#35 Muy Glorioso Knicks (17-17) @ Detroit Power Forwards (9-24): Hello Dennis

[rpgmaster86]

Thats how teams always played in the 80s 90s and early 2000s, they'll be fine. You guys are just getting soft.

All of a sudden these top level professional athletes can't handle the minutes or something, thats nonsense.

Facts

[ewing]

Wow. What a season. The Pistons arent a real NBA team and we are.

Only disappointing thing about this is how lost Obi Toppin looked on offense in the first half.

Can’t argue with Thib’s results.

I’m not complaining about that, of course it’s good.

There’s obviously something wrong, though, when dudes get benched while playing well, with us up 20, on the second night of a back to back where guys just played a ton of minutes

Not only for the young guys to play, but for the other guys to rest, and not get hurt. Making the playoffs won’t be so great when the guys are dead, and we have no bench to lean on.

You need to be able to trust your bench too

I think you’re overreacting. Teams make deep playoff runs year after year. Not getting 90 seconds of rest on occasion during the final minutes of regular season blowouts isn’t gonna cause anyone to be dead during playoff time.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Noel shuts down guys who try to score on him better than Mitch. That’s not what it’s all about though. Mitch uses his body to cut off lanes and prevent shots from even going up. Noel is always trying to meet dudes at the rim. They play different down there. Mitch was more of a shot blocker last year and clearly Thibs is teaching him how to impact games with positioning and staying on his feet.

I like Mitch, but I don’t want to overspend for him. He’s clearly replaceable. Noel is only 26 too.

90 seconds? How about playing guys the majority of the 4th, still up 20 the whole time

I didn’t see you explaining how IQ turned the ball over, and we were sluggish, and that’s why Rose came back in. Because it didn’t happen

This is how teams have always played though.

This whole players need more rest stuff is all made up.

As long as they eat well and rest good on their off days they'll be fine, all star break is coming up, they have a whole week to rest.

No, because they needed to dump Randle to get Lebron

I don’t know why Rose came back in. It’s also the last thing on my mind right now.

If Knicks had to choose between championship or keeping there youth what would you do?

He got the Knicks playing the hard defense bully ball that every other coach pretended they would bring here.

4th seed, go look at our win projections from any website, we have at least double what they projected, thibs is doing as good a job here as any coach could do.

[D-Leethal]

Sitting your starters at the end of a blowout is a nice gesture. It allows bench players to get burn and it’s like a curtain call for the starters. The idea that those extra couple mins on the court are gonna wear them down for a playoff run is laughable though.

Honestly both look replaceable, and that tells you a lot about that position.

For sure, the Knicks FO won't be desperate to sign either of them.
