a coach known for his attention to detail is going to sit back and be content with his teams executions to the point of not using a dress rehearsal opportunity so he an get a look at some rooks who are not in the rotation yet?
Maybe so. But Thibs does not care about other teams.
Rose and randle can get hurt at any time. The beginning of a game, or the end. DRose knows his body better then fans do.
Leon and Thibs have had all thee convo’s and I doubt he sends WWW to engage in fisticuffs like what happend with Gar Forman in ChiTown over minutes played.
UNfortunate given the geography and attempts to save travel time Knicks not playing tough teams in preseason and thus its hard to gauge the teams gaudy preseason record.
All I know is when fans start circle jerking over preseason the reality hits with some anger and second guessing as they ride the internet bipolar coaster of emotions. Dudes with 60 game dreams start to get defensive and label for blame game begins.
If Grimes and Deuce (this a kids book tandem?) are to succeed it will happen as cream rises to the top. Thibs has his ways and it makes no sense to hold a player back for the good of the team. McBride has to outplay IQ first and we don’t know how its going in practice. Grimes has a path less clear but Burks stands in front of him. Injury will happen. They will have time.
