i think ppl should chill, that an entire unit thats out of flux with mcd nt ready physically seemingly and mdj out. thats two of our top 3 wings out of a unit that was our weakest to begin with. les chill.
ppl are talking about firing thibs, hate thibs, crushing derrick.
One of those two missing wings has been back for over a week and has seen 2 minutes of floor time. In other words, our head coach has no interest in figuring out if the FOs offseason solution to the 3, trading two 1sts for Doug, will work.
Can you stop blaming Thibs for Doug's problems. He was hurt and just got back. Again, Thibs said he hasn't practised much at all and he needs a few practices before he can play. Remember, Thibs put him out in the first game even when everyone was healthy.
He's healthy, he can play....he could've gotten several minutes in the SA game. I'm not saying Thibs should throw him on the floor in high leverage situations, I'm just saying he should get some minutes here and there to feel the pace of the game, get some shots under his belt, and try to find something positive to build upon. Surely we aren't worried about his defensive impact, given what we've seen from the regular rotation guys this season. The FO bet heavily on Doug being productive this season. His first stint did not go well, at all....but we don't know if that was due to injury or what. We KNOW he's healthy now or he wouldn't be suited up...let's see what we've got.
On the flipside, Kirk was not brought in for $2.7M to play 30mins a game or be a key piece for this team...or atleast it's safe to assume that was not the intention of the FO. But Thibs is gonna Thibs.
That's my frustration...Thibs' seeming reluctance to experiment or coach somewhat within the plan the FO executed this past offseason.
