Thibs took one of the most promising and desirable coaching jobs in the NBA 2+ years ago and completely destroyed that team. This is 100% on him. Both of his star players have regressed. Turribull.

It’s on the owner Glen Taylor too, he foolishly gave him the final say on player personnel decisions.

Seriously! He can’t get out of here fast enough. Hard not to think what the Timberwolves would look like right now had they went with Van Gundy instead of Thibs

There better not be a single Thibs supporter left on this board. This dude is an absolutely toxic BUM of a coach and GM.

Lol at the choice of wording. What’s your coaching resume?

You fanatics aren’t qualified to rate coaches

What's next for Thibs when/if he gets fired?

Back to being an assistant?

Never coached Gordon

Noah was never ever ever better than horford. Ever.

Rose was actually regressing the year after his MVP season. The lack of wingspan & lack of a brain really guaranteed that he wouldn't improve too much more.

Thib sucks though

this is what happens when a terrible team owner signs one of the most overrated coaches and then gives him keys to construct the team. Doc and Stan were messing up their teams too but Thibbs took it to another level. All they need is Kirk Hinrich and Carlos Boozer coming outta retirement to help Thibbs.

I'm your huckleberry. Thibs has taken a bunch of mediocre players, got them to overachieve and then gets bashed when they fall back after they leave him. He is a great X's and O's guy and generally gets along with players well.

I mean, look at all of the Noah stuff in here. Noah was a #9 pick that people thought would be a bust. He became a DPOY and all star. Then he leaves Thibs and is a bust. Somehow that's Thibs' fault? Noah should send Thibs half of his NY paycheck just because he owes him that much.

Minnesota went 13 years without even making the playoffs. Thibs goes in his second year and now everyone wants him fired.

Is he perfect? Obviously not. He is still a great tactical coach.

Its funny how many of his detractors are player fans like mr. 10.7 PER Rubio.

Jimmy got them to the playoffs, not Thibs. They were all set to miss the playoffs if Jimmy didn't come back from injury. Thibs provides nothing towards wins.
