He overcoaches in regular season. He’s giving front office what they want. He didn’t look at Obi once limping, he could of cared less.

Ever since the rockets game o said Deuce needs to play his defense is just too lock down idc about offense it will come.

Randle's been low-key solid this year, least on offense

Still annoyed at his defensive effort, but he's at least good

RJ been pretty high-key disappointing though. Shame.

What a performance, lfgggg!!!!!

Trade RJ and the youths except Sims and Grimes and put a real team around Julius. Wasting his prime for nothing!!

It's time to shop RJ for a defender at the SF spot... like OG (ideal) or even Jerami Grant...

Kick those tires, folks...

Maybe even explore a deal to NO for Ingram to reunited RJ with his boy Zion... sure, we'd have to toss in picks...

Dolan is the most hate-able owner in sports bar none.

Always nice to beat Trae and the Hawks! Don't feel any sympathy for them being undermanned either. **** them!

The defense has been a lot better the last two games. I know some here see him as Hitler and will never give him any credit but credit to Thibs and this coaching staff. Slowing the pace has really helped. Like players have more energy to defend now. We're still giving up some open threes and teams have missed them but the overall effort is a lot better. And trying to win games 130-129 was never going to work. Like that we've slowed the game down and trying to win old school style. Having Grimes back healthy and inserting Deuce has done wonders! We'll see how long it lasts but good signs the last two games defensively holding teams to under 90! Personally I enjoy watching this type of basketball a lot more.

I haven't given up on him yet but I understand all the concerns. RJ has by far been the most disappointing player this season. I wonder if he's hurt. He just has no bounce or quickness when he drives. He looks like a 1960s player. At least in previous years he would use his strength and bully his way to buckets but now he just kind of gives up and throws whatever at the basket. And his defense has been inconsistent at best. I think RJ needs to reinvent his body, lose some weight and get a new trainer that can increase his quickness and athleticism. And you never want to kill a players dream but maybe take a step back and stop trying to be the star of the team. Be more like the ultimate role player who does a little bit of everything. Stop hunting those 20 ppg.

Does Thibs get any credit for playing all the young kids?

John Starks going 2-18 in Game 7 was the limiting factor that kept Ewing from getting a ring, not to mention Scotty Sterling's idiot trades that sent the eventual rights to Scotty Pippin to Chicago (via Seattle) for Gerald Henderson and Juwann Oldham.

That's not fair. There wouldn't have been a Game 7 if it wasn't for Starks. And Ewing did not have a good series against Hakeem in that Finals. The biggest reason Ewing never got a ring imo was because of Jordan's greatness, Ernie Grunfeld's inability to get that second star and late career injuries.

Why do yall ask questions like this? What choice does he have the entire team is practically young no, **** no he don't.

LOL bc it's that black n white my ****? Be real

Credit for not playing Fournier after starting him for the season then bringing him off the bench? He committed to Fournier before Grimes got hurt when camp started. Oh yea let's make a statue for the guy

Credit for all of a sudden not playing a washed Rose after he been playing?

TF should anyone give him any credit? He was forced to not look like a dumbass n yet he still has
