Thibs is banking on Mitch to return and he will single handedly fix the 3 pt defense making Thibs job secure for at least the rest of the season.

We need Deuce back. He’s the key.

He's here at least until the end of the season. He's a maniac and, like it or not, he's our maniac for the time being.

The three point shooting fell of a cliff before the 3 game skid. JB/OG were struggling for weeks. Seemingly both playing through injuries/fatigue.

The bench keeps rotating injured players and the HC refuses to try anything different. We need more from the bench. Figure it out. I doubt we would have had the losing streak if we weren't dealing with injuries/fatigue.

I'm done with Thibs but, I'm still hopeful we get 100% healthy before the playoffs for some reason. In spite of his lunacy.

Have a look at the video in the OP. :nod:

My pipe dream is actually to reinfuse the blood of Riley and find a way to bring in Spoelstra next year if everything falls apart in MIA this season like it currently looks like it has a chance to.

Guys have earned minutes. Hukporti and Kolek have been more than serviceable. And we have Warren in Westchester who can spell both Bridges and OG.

Thibs be **** up man... Can't defend the minutes allocation.

Warren can't play for us. He's not on a two way deal. I believe there's a date end of February where we can afford another vet mini pro rated salary.

Thibs do be **** up man.

I don't know if Thibs can survive another 2nd round elmination... that might be his ceiling.
