There's EASILY 5-6 games this season we dont win without him, we are probably literally a .500 team without Mitch. And Thibs had us 30-16.
and oh yea Brown is down to an 8 man rotation despite having much more depth this season, didn't take long. to me that tells me he's kind of panicking a bit.
ironically Brown is also using the same starting lineup that Thibs got so much flack for...
Mitch is also fools gold - it's quite apparent he is on a mission to get his hands on a new deal.
He has been GREAT lately but the minute we count on him - watch he's going to get hurt and go down in a heap.
In addition we can't play Mitch when we are in the penalty because teams will immediately go to hack a Mitch and we get to watch Mitch play pin the tail on the basket.
Mitch has come up huge the last two postseasons, not sure what that even means.
And he did mow down Cleveland before that
yea how could i forget that. Mitch has been one of our best playoff performers during his tenure here. Embiid intentionally hurt him 2 years ago.
My trust level in Mitch is not far behind Brunson at this point TBH.
Mitch is playing GREAT.
I can remember Mitch's best moments as well as everyone else - still doesn't change the fact we have been injury managing a now 27 year old for the past 3-4 years) and the guy will be leaving for NOTHING come summer time.
He looks in great (he gets all kinds of extra rest and can only play 15-20 minutes a night - he should feel/look great).
Kid is lovable BUT if we get a really good offer for him we need to consider it.
