Can do the same with Julius last year after the all star break. When are we gonna admit Thibs runs these guys into the ground?
Brunson’s shooting splits in fourth quarters since the All-Star Break have been very un-Brunson-like: 36% from the field and 21% from downtown.
In contrast, during this same stretch, he’s shooting 46% from the floor and 41% from deep in the first quarter.
Safe to assume the insane usage rate, combined with the pounding he takes on a nightly basis, have been catching up to him late in the game.
Soft?
Tom Thibodeau was most expansive yet on the hurdle Julius Randle needs to clear before playing again:
"The thing for him is that he’s got to keep working every day until he gets to the point where he feels confident that he can take the contact that he’s accustomed to. When you look at his game and the way he plays, you don’t want him to change his style of play. And I think that’s important. And so keep doing what you’re doing. You have to have a belief that it will turn. Which I do. Maybe it’s tomorrow. Maybe it’s the the day after. Who knows when it is?"

RANDLE SHOULD JUST GET THE SURGERY AND PREP FOR NEXT YEAR.
HES ALREADY ONE OF THE WORST PLAYOFF PERFORMERS IN HISTORY AND SOMEHOW THIS FANBASE EXPECTS HIM TO COME BACK FROM A MORE SERIOUS INJURY THAN LAST YR AND PLAY PLAYOFF INTENSITY GAMES WITH MINIMAL TO NO RAMP UP PERIOD? – at New York, NY
Happy Easter everyone!
A quick bible verse
“The prophets are prophesying lies in my name. I have not sent them or appointed them or spoken to them. They are prophesying to you false visions, divinations, idolatries and the delusions of their own minds.”
Jeremiah 14:14
If y’all are this upset losing a close game to the Spurs with your star guards breaking records with the playoffs around the corner…I got nothin for you. Stay focused.
