Might have to figure out which scrub can play a few minutes vs their bench or we may see the exhausted NY Knickerzombies get ran off the floor again.


Won't happen, but I feel like we can play our Toppin vs their Toppin.

Because you’re being purposefully vague and obtuse to deflect from your original point. Saying that the trade is the reason we’re down is foolish and you know it. And no, I wouldn’t re-do the trade


I’d rather have held onto the picks and Grimes than made the trade but no it’s not obtuse

If someone buys non-returnable rotten food at the store, it’s not weird at all to say you should have spent our money on something edible at the store so the kids don’t go to bed hungry

Do I know for sure we could have gotten someone edible? I don’t know

But that’s why I said a combo of OG and the bad trade is why I think we are looking at defeat — yeah that’s vague but also true as far as it goes

YOU also can’t say the trade is not a major contributor to our predicament right now so all you’re doing is punting under the guise of a gotcha

I am saying what I am saying bc I believe Jalen Brunson is good enough and it’s always later than you think


That trade was bad for us for many reasons. The one thing I will say though is that Grimes basically never played for them, was never healthy. The real loss was Mr 50-burger Flynn who would be a better relief option for Brunson than who we currently have since he is actually a point guard. Getting Bogs in theory was good because they had to have a sense that Randle was potentially done and we needed some sort of guy who could play the 4 and hit 3's.

We did what we did, no use crying over it I suppose.


I actually believe if he goes back to AB getting 44 seconds of PT, which he won't, we are slightly likely to win

Bench him, tell Deuce you believe in him and want him to defend first, and just relax on O

It'd still be a close game at best if Jalen is hurt, but I think that's the gutsy -- and only real winning -- coaching move he can make, and makes us slight favorites

But wouldn't mind seeing the other guys a little

I get that Precious is letting them roam on D so guess what - tell Precious to fire away too

Possible 6pm Friday game? WTF ..Who thinks of this. Even the 330pm Sunday is bad. Make it prime time for game 7.

League scheduling is awful

I don't think it was ever possible once it ended up not being a cramp.

No one comes back from a hamstring in 1-2 weeks. Maybe at the end of week 2 if its a minor strain but not likely.

Raptors sold us damaged goods. :x



Everyone knew he was injury prone when we traded for him, pairing him up with a coach that will play him 50 minutes in a playoff game is a recipe for disaster though.

Randle shouldn't have been in the game.


Brunson played 30 minutes in a game that was over in 6 minutes.

Half our team is hurt, and you still running defense for him?

Thibs plays his guys way too much, no doubt about that, but our injuries are not a result of fatigue or playing too many minutes. Both those things can, and are true.

OG's injury was overuse, he got hurt just jumping, he had played 42, 45, 50 and 47 minutes before he got hurt. The problem with people defending Tom is that this happened to the Bulls and Bulls fans were trying to defend him until it became apparent that he was in fact a leading cause of their injury problems. I don't know how anyone can look at the Bulls, then look at us and not see the same thing playing out. What he has done with Josh Hart is just lunacy and indefensible.

We'll limp into the playoffs again next year, and people will still be defending him.
