Asked about Isaiah Hartenstein (Achilles) missing game vs NOP, Tom Thibodeau said, “Just where we are in the season we thought the smart thing was take tonight off, get rest, do your recovery. That’s where we are with that.” He noted Hartenstein’s been ramping up since AS break
Wouldn't expect him to say anything else. But why list IH as questionable and then hours later as out? And why choose to play against the 8 win team?

Most teams choose the front end of the back to back and then go from there..
In NBA history. The first half of the season we played about 10 extra road games, then when we finally get all these home games the whole team gets hurt. Anyone criticizing Thibs is off their rocker.

Never citicize Thibs for how much he gets out of players and team...
I do think he needs to stop being stubborn on his rotations...
for example i dont want to see him wait the entire 3rd to go back to this lineup with Precious at the 5
and it’s the NBAs fault entirely. They built a game that punishes the player for playing tough defense and allow refs to officiate selectively. It’s garbage.
Thibs said OG isn’t shooting a basketball yet? Should we be concerned or is he just doing nothing until he’s cleared? Be nice to at least see him on the bench now and then.

3 weeks is the 29th, he is not shooting until he is cleared..
He has already been doing cardio and shooting elfty though

Nothing to be worried about, I’d expect him to start shooting by next week
but they are 6-7 since the OG and zrandle injury, it feels like its been 30 games but its only been 13 and close to 500...still in 4th...1.5 up on 5th..it could be a lot worse
McBride eight assists, zero turnovers in 40 minutes. That's something, but not enough ball in basket tonight.
I think Thibs has been good at taking Burks out lretty quickly when he sucks, you can tell when team is healthy Burks wont play much unless he gets hot..
Bojan is starting to at least show what he can bring off the bench
Everyone was just as frustrated with Burks as we are. Zion looked in better shape than I was expecting. At points we just didn't have the offensive firepower. Nothing to be ashamed of.
That's 12. If Thibs goes with a 9-man rotation, as he probably will, Sims is one of the 3 left out, and the other two will be one of the Precious-Bojan and Deuce-Burks pairs, depending on the opponent. That's my guess anyway. Probably Bojan and Deuce; Precious has earned minutes IMO. Not that Burks has, but Thibs 'trusts' him.
Randle is going to return, its just a matter of how much pain he is going to play in. He said Randle went into the meetings basically saying he is going to play again this season and its their job to figure out a plan to make it happen.

No offense but now that he's out of the game Zion is absolutely destroying them. Thibs knows what he is doing. He's coached a few games in the league.

Precious only gets in for defense and is situational?

NBA has denied the Knicks protest of Feb. 12 loss to Rockets.

I know Thibs will not do it but I would rather have Precious playing backup 4 instead of Hart.
Hart wouldnt play backup 4, OG would
