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.

Watching the game today I saw the players were locked in on Thibs.

It seems the folks who should believe in Thibs, do.

I am pretty sure those minutes are the average for the season, are they not?

They would be dramatically different if you did the math since Thibs discovered his quote unquote 9 man rotation about a month ago.

I hope I am wrong and Randle and Brunson do not collapse, get too gassed to keep playing well or get hurt before seasons end. We shall see, shall we not?

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.

Not surprisingly, Coach Daboll is Thibs kind of guy.

Great game.

Daniel Jones finally getting respect.

This is a good point.

While NBA players are always mouthing the affirmative party line about their coaches, I agree that they genuinely seem to trust and respect the guy.

Really proud of Julius.

Teams won't be able to deploy a McMillian strategy, because his game has evolved and because of that  run-on fellow.

A real test today.

And you see the tremendous work and desire.

Good dude to root for.

Speaking of good dudes, hope we find a new place for Rose soon. There's no room for him on this team, but he could still be an incredible asset for another playoff team (hopefully out west).

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.

Right now he just has 5 points in the second half.

But I'm still tempted to say again:

Grimes does EVERYTHING.

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.

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

This minutes issue with Thibs is not going to go away. The coach is a major factor in both our wins and losses.

It was a back to back for fuck's sake. Brunson hit a wall. Here's the thing I don't get: We have talent on the bench!

Why can't he trust some of these motherfuckers and figure out how to make it work.

Brunson's shot goes in at the end, I'd be saying the same thing.

The game did not have to go down to the wire.
