Thabo's size makes a big difference when he is playing good. He's like having a extra SF out there.

It'll be interesting to see what Thabo's role will look like when Hinrich returns.


I'm hoping Boylan will bench Duhon and go with a 3-man rotation of Gordon, Hinrich and Sefolosha. Since Kirk is hurt, he likely won't be benched in favor of Thabo (at least not any time soon, given the Bulls' history), but I could definitely see a Hinrich/Sefolosha backcourt with Gordon as the Sixth Man or Gordon/Hinrich with Sefolosha as the 3rd guard. The less Duhon the better, IMO. Thabo is showing he definitely deserves consistent rotation minutes, even if he isn't starting

EDIT: One note of caution. Thabo isn't doing this against the best defensive teams in the league. So it might be premature to expect him to play this well against the Detroits, Bostons, San Antonios, etc. of the world

Yes it does. Its fun when we play a legit NBA sized rotation. Forget the small ball garbage that gets you know where in the long run.

Not great enough to win a ring..

Not bad enough to get a great pick.

Yes - I guess 1 reb, 1 stl and good defense in 3 minutes doesn't warrant any additional playing time.


Were you watching?

Tyrus played bad. And Gray was sluggish, making 0 impact on both ends.

Thabo needs three to set a new career high.

And Noah for Wallace. If you agree, then I'm all in. Goddamn has Thabo impressed me. Give me 5 more games like this Thabo, and I'll be your fanboy.

it is really bad when tyrus cant get on the floor when we are up 23 with 5 mins left in the 4th.
I have a soft spot for tall, skinny, athletic big men who have little offensive game.

Because he doesn't know how to win and other such intangibles.

No were you watching? So because he missed his fg, he played bad? Its 3 freakin minutes.

Dont be like that Red. When Gordon goes 0-3 2 turnovers in 5 mins and rots on the bench, you make off.

If I'm Wade I want out of Miami. They have some kind of job to do to keep him interested in hanging around at the end of his contract.
