Tape is the little brother of the compression (knee) brace.
It might not do a whole lot, but a little is better than nothing at all.
I use a compression brace on my knee when im doing some physical activity i probably shouldn't be doing (Done my ACL, never had surgery - pops out under strain) and i have never done my knee with it on. Yes its restrictive, yes it makes you sweaty, but if it holds it together better than without it, then its a small sacrifice. Knee taping would be the same, albeit a little less helpful (?). If you do it tight enough, its probably better.

Must be for balance
I remember my late uncle -- ripper bloke, was a pastor -- who used to often comment that, "I'm a very well balanced person... I've got a chip both shoulders."

Need these next two games otherwise the season starts to slip right away. We win them and the season is in our hands, if not it going to be a struggle, maybe too much of one.
It feels good even talking about a season slipping away rather than our season being screwed after 2 rounds and talking the no.1 pick...haha.

I think this is one season where you can just focus on the little things and forget the big picture, the dynamic and dramatic swings we see in games is direct evidence even the players are treating it like a pre-season!
Just focus on the little things, because nobody but the winner is going to take this season with any seriousness!
