Precious getting minutes tonight.

I’m sure Thibs didn’t want to give him that many minutes this early in his return, but Precious was good out there. Sadly, Sims shouldn’t get anywhere near the court without KAT balancing the first unit. Huk got deserved burn, but Thibs needs to keep him involved and not give him such a rookie silent treatment.

Game two of his return and Precious shows how precious he is to us. We really need another piece off the bench and with urgency.

So Happy Precious is back and making an impact. Having a dawg off the bench in the front court over 6'6' was something we were badly missing. Keep it up, my man!

I have not been able to notice... Anyone have a take on the KAT-Precious minutes when they are both out there? Wondering how that lineup would go

THey have played 130 mins together with a +8.1 net rating. Not a big sample, but some good success in that time.

Believe it or not, KTowns/Achiuwa/Hart lineup actually has a really crazy net rating in a small sample as well.

If we don't sort our sh** out in the next month, I would have no problem with Precious bumping Mikal or Hart to the second unit.

Why wouldn't you do that now?
Am I the only guy that doesn't like our SG/SF/PF line up?

I would bench Bridges for Deuce, not Hart for Precious.

We need more hustle, effort and intensity. But above all we need shooting and volume shooting.

Let Bridges re-make his off the bounce game leading the bench unit.

How about both?
JB
Deuce
Hart
Precious
KAT
This is a balanced line up. Shooting and size.
(I wasn't talking about benching Hart)

Some guys are just better off the bench and precious is one of them. When Mitch eventually comes back I wouldn’t be shocked if he came off the bench too and we leave the starting 5 intact

"Would not be shocked if he came off the bench".....So you think there is a strong possibility he starts?
Mitch played 31 games last season. Has not played since May 6th of 2024. He had surgery over he summer, and you think more likely than not he starts, but you would not be "Shocked" if he comes off the bench.

When you say "starting 5 intact" IM assuming you mean

Kat
OG
Mikal
Josh
Brunson

So who do you think Mitch replaces? Me, Im thinking Kat and Sims have to be injured. I think if Mitch needs 20 games to get up to speed. Remember he is foul prone.
