Moron still needs a dictionary.
ROFL!
I could not have had a better setup.
Slam Dunk!
Nor could I.
I suspect that PROVEN LIAR RedDick thinks that calling someone a nihilist is somehow a supreme dick waving epic put down, rather then further evidence that he does not own a dictionary.

Red throws it out because some tiny part of his glitchy brain still gets a little uncomfortable every time he realizes just how well the shoe fits.

It is how most self-bullying sociopaths work.

We should be as well. I like it better on nights when we are.

I would still rather see if Hartenstein, Sims, Obi, and Deuce can approach the level of iQ and the starters than shuffle pieces to see if a new guy would fit in.

I am fairly sure that if the progressives in Congress try to do away with gas stoves Congress will be dissolved.
This is,after all, America.

I am fairly sure that when you traded your head in for an extra ass you wrote your destiny and sealed your own fate the fallout of which we have the pleasure of witnessing thankfully well outside your infamous splash zone.

If you want to chew through box scores to get a more recent number, I will not question your results. I do not think it will be that far off.

Last 10 games, December 27 to yesterday:
https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/julius-randle-stats-each-game-last-10-games Julius Randle 40.3 minutes average against your 35.
https://www.statmuse.com/nba/ask/jalen-brunson-stats-each-game-last-10-games Jalen Brunson 39.2 minutes average against your 33.

Looks like my eyes were not lying to me.

No doubt the team is playing well, lets hope they can keep it up.

Yup. You are right. That is going to be hard to keep up.

Bummer.

We have to decide if we want to be as good as we can with what we have right now, get some play in-playoff experience and look for an x-factor and a swing piece with our pick and the Dallas pick in the upcoming draft or if we want to leverage some assets for someone who can help us in the 7-8-9 spot.

Precious and Boucher won the battle of bench bigs today. Should Thibs have gone to Sims? Is there a player we could acquire who could help us with those type matchups? Do we just wait for Obi to get better at it?

Even with those issues, a Randle or Burnson FT going in rather than out wins it for us.

Onward, but with better results.

Come up with a cure for avian flu, Tony. That could really help the price of eggs.

Red will still be trying to gain traction for this well into the second term of President Biden and even deeper into the decline and fall of the republican party.

Jules is logging 24th in mpg league wide. Barrett is 34th and Brunson is 43rd. The next Knick on the list is Grimes at 95th.

That is 35, 34, 33, and 29 minutes respectively.

It is nice to have four guys worth playing that much and all at different positions so they can play together. Mitch would be getting that run as well if he could stay on the floor.

Quickley did not see so much time till Thibs found this rotation, but he is getting the burn now.

Thibs has made his priorities known, defense, rebounding, taking care of the ball and staying connected. I do not have a reason to think his minute distribution is not based on what he sees being performed in these areas. Thibs is not trying to build every player on the roster the best possible career. He is trying to win the games he can with the guys here he thinks can play his way.

Top ten in offensive rating, defensive rating, and differential.

The points of emphasis are limit paint scoring allowed, rebound on both ends, and limit turnovers. We do all three. As our players gel their shooting percentages are all going up.

I cannot think of another coach likely to achieve that with the personnel we have.

You have to let Thibs play out the season at the very least.

Or Cam Reddish and a not so valuable pick to Minnesota for Taurean Prince.

Their minutes and stats are nearly identical this year except for games played. Prince is under contract another year and I think Thibs would like him enough to use him with the second unit.

I do not know what the plan is in the twin cities. Cam could theoretically become more valuable than Prince down the line. Prince would be good for us now.

Mitch Hartenstein
Randle Obi
RJ Prince
Grimes Deuce
Brunson Quickley

I hear the market is pretty dry for Cam. I hope he can figure out what is expected of him and get back in good graces. We could use the speed and length he brings if he can find the focus Thibs wants. He was better in his 20 games this year than in the fifteen he played for us last year.

The hollow heads of conservatives are filled with disjointed echos of some bullshit they heard and misunderstood decades ago.
