The NBA playoffs continued, and today the Knicks traveled to the road to take on the Pacers, who eventually lost 103-116 to the Pacers. In this game, Brunson scored 31 points and 5 assists. DiVincenzo scored 17 points, while Hart left the game after 31 minutes today. It remains to be seen whether the next game will continue to appear.
In this series, the Knicks have lost two big players, they are Anunoby and today's Hart, these two players are the core players of the Knicks, Anunoby's injury after the Knicks have been greatly affected on both ends of the offensive and defensive ends, and Hart is the guarantee of the Knicks' vitality, his defense and rebounding ability on the court is something that many people do not have. Many people believe that Hart's injury is directly related to Thibodeau's employment. Hart played almost the full 48 minutes of the series, giving his all in every game, and many said that even the Iron Man might not be able to withstand such use.
In fact, Thibodeau has always been a highly questioned manager, and many people believe that he uses the team's main force excessively and does not care about the health of the players. However, Thibodeau did not take this kind of questioning seriously, and still insisted on his own concept of employment. And this round of the series directly lost two generals. Many people think that even if the Knicks can get through the danger in this round, they can enter the Eastern Conference finals. It may be the next time to test Brunson and other players, who are at risk of injury at any time.
There was an anonymous vote in the league about which coach in the league today was the least willing player to play. Thibodeau, on the other hand, is at the top of this list, and is far from second place. This fully proves that many players are reluctant to play for Thibodeau, because in the eyes of many players, health is the most important thing, and the coach's way of employing people is undoubtedly sacrificing the player's health in exchange for his record and honor, which is obviously harmful to the player.
There are a lot of coaches in the league who are completely different from Thibodeau, and many of them are very focused on protecting the health of their players. A lot of coaches like to expand their rotation a lot. This saves the playing time of the main players and allows them to avoid injuries. For example, Warriors head coach Kerr is a coach who cares a lot about the health of his players, and Curry can't play every game for so long. And he will control Curry's playing time very well, so Curry has rarely suffered injuries for so many years, which is the head coach who is responsible for the players, and Thibodeau's coaching style is a bit too selfish.
