So see, that's a failure of a coaching adjustment.
Don't treat Powell like he's PJ Tucker's age. Treat him like a starter and play him most the 2nd half if you have to or until he fukks up. And even if Zubac missed the first shot, you go right back to that.
People always give Thibs shyt for riding his best players but more coaches should do that. It's overstated too because during the regular season, nobody on the Knicks played more than 35 minutes a night.
And teams should definitely have games during the year where they play key guys 43+ minutes just to get them ready for the playoffs, when they will really need nights like that.
Players in their 20s and early 30s should be conditioned to go a full 48 if necessary in the postseason.
