I really don’t get it. Adams can’t play back-to-backs, we’re super careful with Tari, and then there are games where Holiday doesn’t even see the floor even though he’s been good for us while Tari’s been out. Meanwhile KD is 37 and averaging like 38 minutes a game this December. Ime is the new Thibs!
Playing a 37 year we have 140 million invested in this many minutes in December is a death wish Ime is showing severe incompetence
Simple: On the NBA power ladder, KD is quite a few rungs above Ime. Adams is quite a few rungs below.
Playing Durant for 48 minutes last night was inexcusable. As was the 8 man rotation on the second night of a back to back. There's no way this team stays healthy if he keeps this up.
This and Fred last year do show a worrying pattern. Ime clearly doesn't like having to put the work in on making his reserves better and prefers to run a short rotation of low-effort vets and hope his defensive schemes and hard work win the day. I still like Ime but the weaknesses are starting to show. A good coach would adjust and do something to shore those up. We'll see.
