My concern with this roster is it consists of guys who are injury-prone even before Thibs started playing them heavy minutes. Bogi is old, Mitch, OG, and Randall are not dependable to be healthy in general.
Brunson’s injury was a fluke since it was a stress fracture.
Hart’s was likely the only one due to minutes.

Randle's injury was as flukey as it gets. He's not injury prone, he had a couple unlucky events.

Randle was in the game with 4 minutes left and a 16 point lead. Thibs is a moron who doesn't trust his bench to hold a **** 16 point lead for 4 minutes.
You can dodge the bullet multiple times but Thibs machine guns the roster with idiotic crap like this. Up 20 with 10 minutes and can't let the bench ride it out, win or lose. Must win in February = No wins in Spring.

16 points can disappear in 2 minutes in this league. Trying to blame Thibbs over a fluke injury is dumb. LMFAO @ being up by 20 with 10 minutes to go. That's not even close to a safe lead.

True, when you are a trash coach with no offense no lead is safe.

LMFAO, what? Did you mean defense there? Thibbs is not a trash coach, you're a trash fan. We've seen dudes like Steph Curry and Luka Doncic delete 20 points leads in less than 5 minutes, and that's being generous. They are basically ungardable when they are hot. I'm sure it's happened faster than that. Yeah, in today's league a 20 point lead with 10 minutes isn't safe. Just facts.

You are a trash coach who hasn't prepared his bench if you blow a 16 point lead with 4 minutes to go. That's 10 shot clock cycles.
As you finish crocheting your 2nd Seed Banner to hang in your garage just remember that would be the 6th seed in the West. So ... bounced in the 2nd round, by a lower seed. Playoff worst defensive rating. Whole starting lineup injured by season end. Thibs is trash.
