I don't like this vision, but I had it.
With Boozer gone, and rookies for front line depth, along with Miro hopefully, I could see Thibs riding Gibson way longer than he is used to as seen in these last playoffs.
I don't like the way we limp into the playoffs every year, I know its beaten to death here but its outrageous. Winning championships required peaking your performance in the playoffs, and the Thibs/Rivers breed prefers fight as hard as you can as long as you can as a team attitude that never wavers. But come on....upper management needs to step in and put minute limits on Noah especially late in the season, as well as Butler, Rose when he returns, and I fear with Gibson next year.
Its really outrageous, I don't know what else to call it, but I can see our guys all losing athleticim, explosion, and getting gimpy knees every May.
In rugby I tried to teach my team about non-contact practices to no avail, and we repeatedly limped into 30 vs 14 or 15 or 16 partially healthy guys(16 is one sub, the max subs is 7, like soccer once you go out your out) and we had no chance. I remember one scrimmage I protested and wouldn't participate in hitting my own teammates and we lost 3 guys for the season. I just don't like hitting my own guys, sacrificing my own body and theirs for the little bit of technique. I always felt you either have that intensity required for violence or you don't, I didn't need to cultivate it in practice and the impact on my body wasn't worth it in practice.
Seeding doesn't matter much in the NBA or 1's would win more often, whats the point of limiiting our peak potential for a few wins here and there when we have a deep bench of capable players? And use the fucking season to develop them? Why is Snell playing more minutes in playoffs, your telling me he wasn't good enough earlier but he is now?
There is a reason why Gibson was the only guy that could still move, jump, and play in these playoffs but I fear that Gibson will just be an empty husk come next playoffs.
