Is it out of the question to think that Cam or Fournier could have provided something off the bench? Three losses in a row indicates that teams have been able to find a point of attack that neutralize our best effort. Seems like Brunson and Grimes might be a little more banged up than we know. Why not insert Cam for his length on defense, and use Evan as a spot up 3 point threat in spurts? I don’t know the answer and it’s frustrating to watch, but there’s still plenty games left to turn it around.

How do you expect to win the game in the 4th when the starters play 38-40 minutes of the game? Exhausted players don't make clutch shots when the pressure increases.

Thibs is not even giving IQ more than 21 minutes, everyone else much less. As an example, McBride played an average of 10 minutes a game over this stretch. I see the limitations of the bench (maybe a few minutes of Fournier or Cam surrounded by defenders and IQ?) but this is self defeating. This has been effectively a 5 ½ man rotation the last three games. That isn't sustainable.
