I agree that Thibs makes changes slowly. This is good for two reasons. One, players don’t feel they are being jerked around. If they lose minutes it’s because of sustained bad performance or someone else’s sustained good performance, not just because of an off night. Two, sometime it takes time to integrate players. For Shake, for example, I’m sure he’ll do better after he has some practices with his new teammates under his belt.

In my opinion, there won’t be much of a minutes restriction on OG. It wasn’t that kind of injury. (Unless they were lying and there are soft tissue issues beyond a bone chip removal.)

“But Bogey should’ve gotten more than 18 minutes on Sunday and that’s factorial.”

It would be nice if folks did not try to pawn off their highly dubious opinions as facts. It would be a lot more civil around here if folks just said things like “In my opinion, the coach should have played Bogey more, given the shitty options he had, even though it almost certainly had no better probability of resulting in a win than what the coach tried.”

Presumably he will be on a minutes restriction along with Jalen and iHart again.

Of course a Thibs lineup with three starters restricted by medical is also known as a standard NBA regular season rotation.

Still not sure why we bothered with Shake if we are not going to play him, either.

shake made it a point to say in his incoming interview that he understood there would be no promises for play…

likely that point was made to him, who knows, maybe thibs is driving the point home to him…

hopefully before too long though we can see him out on the court with the team…

OG is back tonight, according to Begley.

Who do we think will start? I assume he will replace Hart in the starting lineup, but that eventually OG and Hart will close together with Precious on the bench.

Bojan on the Knicks is pretty much playing like Bojan on the Pistons. Burks has seemingly completely lost the ability to shoot from everywhere on the court, including from the FT line.

I am canceling my subscription to The Ringer after they inexplicably left Donte DiVincenzo out of the newly released top 100 NBA players:
