Begley saying it’s load management—- what is ridiculous is how much he played first few games.

So you play him in abu Dabi but not at garden for home opener????

VERY ODD and hard to believe that;s the truth.

MIke is the mouth piece but its an organizational thing.

"telling what we want to hear vs the truth"? The is is the NBA, players do it all the time.
For all we know Mitch has pain, is scared about getting another contract, and the team knows fans are impatient.
If there is a trade brewing and we holding him out, thats another story.
But this is not about "load management", its been a week since he last played and if there is an injury well we'll find out soon enough!

I don't buy it. There is something they are not telling us. Don't be surprised when the injury is revealed 2 weeks from now.

Are you paranoid? Yes. Is there a bit of truth to what you're saying based on past behavior? Yeah.

Always... always remember: Less is less. More is more. More is better and twice as much is good too. Not enough is bad, and too much is never enough except when it's just about right. - The Tick

Are we seeing a stealth hold out of Mitch wanting an extension or a trade?
Preseason was a try out to demonstrate he is healthy. Now he sitting as teams working on a trade and a price?
This a contentious situation of sorts where logic dictates he play the season out and then set the market price?
Are Knicks even interested in extending given his penchant for missing games?
"Load management" on opening night? No, he either has a nagging injury and we'll see him on Friday night....
or...
He is getting MRI/evaluation and there might be some time off......
Or....
He is demanding a trade/extension and won't play. Maybe knicks promised him a deal? Maybe all are cool with it all and it just plays out without media knowledge.

Its not logical to have "Load Management" as its playing out. One has to be a bit suspect to the disclosure as its publicly been presented.
