Very much so. For him. I still watch color of money more than all of them. But it’s not the best movie of that Paul Newman amazingness.

aside for some clouds and showers, the weather is looking mighty nice there in san juan…

hmmmm, if Jack in Legend is number two – i’m gonna have to guess that Frank T.J. Mackey is numero uno…

Oof. Rough game thread. Yay. Hard to watch the games from San Juan, PR but at least they’re playing Tom Cruise’s second best movie Legend at this surprisingly hip bar with great tostones. Tim Curry is something else.

I do wish the old Brunson would come back. The one who could shoot.

Give him a couple of games off, roll with Payne and Kolek and accept that you might lose a game or two that you could have won in the short term in order to potentially win more later with a fresher healthier Brunson instead of 85%-90% of him for a longer series of games.

IMO this minutes issue and taking games off requires a cost benefit analysis that reasonable people can debate and differ on. But when you know you have guys on your team that ARE exhausted and less than 100% physically, there really should be no debate. That goes quadruple when you are up mid teens late in the 4th and the other team has already emptied the bench.

I’ve said quite a few times that Thibs has many of the same qualities as my brother (who is on the spectrum). I don’t think it will help talking to him. I don’t think clear logic or data will change him.

He would run this team into the ground and possibly shorten the peak career of a couple of players on this team to win meaningless games. And it will all make make perfect sense to him. And unfortunately some people will try to defend him and rationalize it all away.

I can’t take it anymore. It’s one thing when we were fresh and rolling. That’s not the case now. There is no debate in my mind. He is HURTING our chances long term.
