Thibs advocating for Mikal to be traded in the offseason. And well he should. A fine coach like that should not have to deal with such soft insurrectionists

Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


We’ve got a lot of good guys on this team that can take away minutes. Which helps the defense, helps the offense, helps tired bodies being out there and giving up all these points. It helps just keeping fresh bodies out there.”

Bridges said Thibodeau was receptive but “sometimes I think he just gets in his ways.”

“I think he’s not arguing about it. Sometimes I think he just gets in his ways and he gets locked in. He just wants to keep the guy out there,” Bridges said. “Sometimes you’ve got to tell him, like Landry (Shamet), for example or somebody, keep him out there, they’re playing well.”


Wow. Mikal sounds like what many of us would say with a chance to talk to Thibs. "He just gets in his ways." I feel that every game when it starts to feel like time to sub, I just know he's thinking, but I can't take Josh out, I need OG's defense here, etc .

Thibs just isn't like this, but I think if another coach came in like Atkinson did in Cleveland, and said we're limiting minutes and bench guys are going to play, then bench guys would naturally grow confident and play better. Whereas Thibs lack of trust in guys becomes a self fulfilling prophecy
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

I think Boston could three-peat. They own us just due to matchups.
I think we can beat the Cavs with a healthy Mitch.

We should win round 1, we can upset Cavs round 2, and then hope Celtics either got upset themselves (they might struggle against some matchups ie Pistons) or get dinged up (BAm and co for the cHeat could be an early match up).
If we come out of the East, I think we can (with Mitch) line up against anyone in the West.

Thibs is stubborn AF. He's gonna play Mikal 44 minutes tonight and shorten the rotation to 7. Y'all haven't learned a damn thing all these years with this man. He only moves to his own tune.
Fire Thibs!

Checkmate. This FO gave up 5 picks for Mikal. They aren't gonna look like a fool and trade him. The clock has started on Thibs exit. Praise the Lord.
