Remember that after reasonably heavy playoff runs Brunson and Hart are playing with the national team and Jules is rehabbing a knee. At least till the AS break I would hope Thibs dials them back to keep them fresh as well as to see who can step up in those spots.

A healthy and connected team coming out the the regular season is more important than home court.

You are all assuming that TT is a rational agent, meaning his rationality would trump his rigidity.

I say, that remains to be seen.

Ankle.  Rehabbing an ankle.

That is less worrying than a knee, but the concept still applies. Also RJ is doing team Canada so his roll might need to be slowed as well.

Sounds like the Hart extension is 75 over 4. Hope the last year is the fattest while also being a team option.

What is it about Thibs and JVG grinding players into the dust?

Some is I think they both take players at their word in terms of in-season fitness. Treating most of the athletes of today as men is at best a mixed proposition.

MSG replaying the late March game in Cleveland where Jalen and Donovan had an epic duel.

Julius out with bum ankle. Jalen with 48.  Obi made a nice contribution but at crunch time Thibs had

Hartenstein with some combo of RJ, Hart, IQ and Brunson, rotating in Grimes and McBride.

Sneak preview of 23-24, but pencil in DDiVicenzo.

That is Cleveland.

Boston
Brooklyn
Philly
Toronto
Milwaukee
Miami

All require a different and better formula.

It would thus appear y'all are SOL.

Roby and Knight both have a little more two way shine than our boy Obi.

That is going to give Thibs a chance at a little more deployment flexibility if he chooses to take it.

Also we can hot swap smallish wings through three overtimes without let up or let down, which should also help.

Internal growth from our centers could be the x-factor that puts us over the top, though I am tempered in my expectations in that regard.

It should still be more fun this year than watching iso-Melo or iso-Jules teams ever was.

How RJ and JR evolve, let alone Thibs with a roster of his choosing.

Have to go back to the Reed Knicks to experience a home grown roster that was allowed to baste in its own juices.

In that sense, while our roster additions were not as sexy as one might have imagined, I like the progression of IQ and QG, and have lofty hopes for our Tripartite Nova on a bagel.
