you guys get hung up on the stupidest ****. it's 20 mpg he'll play and if he does well he'll play more. the guys running this team know what they're ******* doing.
This. Chill the **** out people.
It's like Phil threw out the arbitrary 20 MPG number just to sever expectations right where they need to be and not freak anybody out one way or another, and people still freak the **** out.
You really want Phil coming out saying I want him starting and playing 30+ MPG? What kind of message does that send to the rest of the team and Porzingis? You dont want Porzingis coming into camp thinking that he is hot **** and will be starting no matter what. Phil has been in the league for 50+ years now in some capacity, he knows this as well as anybody.
20 MPG is a pretty arbitrary number to use for a rookie. If he wants more than that, than like Phil even said, that's on Fisher and he will have to prove he is capable and earn it just like anybody else on the team.
Dude never said it was impossible to play him more than that, or that he was planing to put Porzingis on a minutes restriction or some ****. Phil's just not getting carried away with preseason expectations before the guy has even had a training camp, which is exactly what he should be doing as the team president. Chill the **** out people, can't believe how far this has gotten.
EDIT:
that pic was from this past season, whos the new guys running the team?
The picture was still ******* stupid to use. Phil took over a trash team and cleaned house and got this team in position for a top draft pick instead of trying to shoot for a low playoff seed. So fans can wear trash bags all they ******* want, it doesn't make Phil wrong.
Also, if it were up to the fans we wouldnt have drafted Porzingis in the first place so who ******* cares? Countering "the guys running this team know what they're ******* doing." with fans with bags on their head is ******* stupid regardless of what year it was. Phil didnt get us in this mess, he's just trying to get us out.
