Houston’s execution in the final minute was shocking. Mindless turnover after mindless turnover.

Tom Thibodeau has two 50-win seasons. The previous 12 Knicks head coaches combined for one. Maybe some analytics wannabe can do a complete breakdown of how those 12 coaches distributed minutes.

Win No. 50 plus a guy on the other team, Devin Booker, played a game-high 40 minutes. So what can we complain about? That’s right, why didn’t Kolek play!!!

Don’t worry, you may get plenty of chances to see him next season at MSG.

Or to put it another way, Southampton have the best odds to win the draft lottery.

A season to forget for Southampton. https://t.co/UkFScEht8k

The biggest star(s) always receive the most coverage. For example, the biggest star on South Carolina is the head coach.

Dawn Staley says narrative around Paige Bueckers and her quest to win a title has overshadowed South Carolina’s feats. https://t.co/n5zKzyEAc1

And Jim Nantz coached Houston.

Apparently, Mike Krzyzewski once coached Duke.

If only they could be like the Hawks. Atlanta played 12 players today. So in theory, the Hawks won. (And one of the parents brought orange slices for the team Win-win.)

@TheFrankIsola Some Knicks fans nitpicking the team about every damn thing tell em frank

Philadelphia and New Orleans are resting their starters. You could support those teams.

Like I said, usually I agree the minutes police overdo it, but there’s a time to push and a time to rest, no? Is there no situation where you rest your starters?

Among the biggest differences in the league from when I first started covering the NBA, other than 3-point explosion, is the media, fringe media and fans obsession with minutes. It was just accepted that the best players play and most rotations are eight deep. Deeper you go in

@TheFrankIsola Frank I’m usually with you on this, but up 29 with 6 minutes left in the first night of a back to back you don’t need multiple starters in the game

They won their 49th game. The coach now has more wins with the franchise than Pat Riley and no one played more than 35 minutes. Let’s see, what can we bitch about? Oh, I got it: Why didn’t Kolek play!

LeBron has played 38 minutes in four of his last five and 39 in the other. And he’s 40 years old. Meanwhile, Zion’s season is over again and Embiid’s season ended weeks ago. In theory, those two would fall under the category of rested, not tired, for the playoffs.
