Does Tom Thibodeau deserve an apology?

The team will be fine for the playoffs.

I hope they even make it....while other teams are turning up, this team is in a tailspin.

This Jekyll and Hyde team can actually fall into the play-in, where they will assuredly be bounced out by the Craptors or Hawks.

If I were Trae Young or Ray VanFelton I would be licking my chops to play the Knicks.

Between benching Randle in the 3rd in game 4 and winning a playoff series in 5 I got to admit I was wrong he doesn’t suck. He’s good

plus all those young players whom he supposedly ruined their careers and killed all their value seem to be looking pretty decent and valuable to me. And I do mean all. Besides scam and good riddance to bad rubbish with that head case

He's always been a good coach a VERY good coach it's just at times he looks like a CLUELESS coach. So far these playoffs he's been coaching great. Making adjustments, sometimes forced to but I won't nitpick... I'm just happy he's adapting a little.

I would of used Deuce a lot more, he's more than earned it but I can't complain winning a 1st Rd playoff series

Should've been coach of the year. Meanwhile Mike Brown is on the brink of elimination.

Yea for his willingness to make key adjustments and taking Randle out last game.. really big deals imo.

Nah, Brown deserved it. Gotta give proper credit. Also, Warriors are being set up for Warriors/Lakers round II. LeBron vs Curry.

Thibs has been solid this season and the roster construction was finally able to align with his needs.

Thibs is a great coach but he ain’t perfect, he did a great job in years one and three and did a terrible job in year two.

That said I’ll take the good with the bad

Thibs coached one of the best series I have ever seen. JBB ran out of counters and gimmicks.

Nah, i just think his team was young and soft because JBB was saying all the right things.

It was a bad match up for the Cavs, they had no one on the team that could rebound the ball.

Credit where credit is due.

1. He correctly went away from Rose & Fournier at all in the lineups
2. He fixed the way our bench units used to crater by putting RJ with them, which also helped RJ out to get a rhythm which is tough with how much ISO we do with Brunson and Randle. I actually think he should do it with Grimes too.

He is a top 5-10 coach. I lean more towards top 5. There is not a single elite coach that hasn't made big errors in the playoffs.

I'm guessing you haven't looked at Randle's ghastly numbers this entire playoffs.

-32 has thoroughly outplayed our All-Star.

all it took was a severe injury and he's still dead last in raptor, good for him

I mean for me personally I don't care about raptor, tyrannosaurus rex, or stegosaurus.

The drop-off in production is unreal and it's when the team needs him the most. The shooting numbers, turnovers, low IQ plays, etc.

I don't know what's going on but between Thibs failing to adjust his schemes and rotations and guys not showing up.....it's an uphill battle.

apologize to Thibs?
