DETROIT \u2014 PJ Tucker didn\u2019t know what to expect.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He got a text Thursday morning that he was part of the rotation for the game against the Pistons, and then, to his surprise, Tucker was the first player off the Knicks bench in a 115-106 loss.\u00a0<\/p>\n
By the end, Tucker had logged 27 minutes \u2014 by far a season high \u2014 while mixing it up physically and scoring his first regular-season points in exactly a year on a trademark corner 3-pointer.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cOnce I got through my first wind, it was really good,\u201d Tucker said. \u201cI started to open up a little bit. I started to feel good, started talking, getting involved with the game and it\u2019s like riding a bike.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tucker even closed out the close game in the fourth quarter in a lineup with starters. <\/p>\n
Still, there\u2019s no guarantee he\u2019ll see the court again. <\/p>\n
Josh Hart and OG Anunoby, who both rested Thursday, should return for Friday\u2019s game against the Cavaliers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tucker relished the chance \u2014 and felt at home getting physical.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe plays like that, the box outs, the 50-50 balls, that stuff is that feeling,\u201d Tucker said. \u201cGetting offensive rebounds, it\u2019s like, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m back.\u2019 It felt good.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
The evidence shows Tom Thibodeau doesn\u2019t actually wear down his players.\u00a0<\/p>\n
With Thibodeau\u2019s reputation for destroying bodies with heavy minutes as the impetus, The Guardian took a deep dive into the data starting in 2010 (Thibodeau\u2019s first year as a head coach) and discovered \u201cthere\u2019s no clear or consistent pattern showing Thibodeau-coached players are more likely to get hurt than anyone else.\u201d <\/p>\n
The graph supplied with the story showed three of Thibodeau\u2019s five seasons in Chicago correlated with a high number of injuries, but his subsequent years with the Timberwolves and Knicks were either about average or healthier than most of the NBA.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Thibodeau, who rested two starters in Thursday\u2019s loss to the Pistons, shrugged off the findings because it won\u2019t stop the opposing view.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI don\u2019t worry about it because there\u2019s always opinions,\u201d Thibodeau said. \u201cAny time there\u2019s science for it, there\u2019s science against. And then there\u2019s opinions. And there\u2019s the trained eye. And there\u2019s a lot that goes into it. I always say, you prepare for what you want to do. And you have to have a mentality and the mindset is everything. I\u2019ve been around a lot of players and I\u2019ve learned from them, I\u2019ve learned from different people I\u2019ve been around. I don\u2019t worry about any of that stuff.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
