Wait till Mitch/Precious come back . They are already playing better defensively as chemistry is starting to set in last few. It will get even better with an elite rim protector

Basically what I have been saying for months lol....so much PR spin is angled to control public perception ....
Saying you let him go for financial reasons usually doesn't go so well with the fanbase. Thats why you don't hear it said much in the mainstream media.

Thibs has adapted to our personnel and has us as one of the best offensive teams and bringing out the best out of KAT and Hart offensively. Yet people want this man fired! Show yourselves!

Happy that the talent is shining through, but haven't changed me feelings on Thibs one bit, either. Everything I was concerned about is still concerning to me.

Mario Hezonja, Dennis smith Jr, Kevin Knox, Young Mitch Rob, Alonzo Trier, Deandre Jordan off the bench… coached by David Fizdale
That was 2019
Fast forward 5 years
And we Have KAT, OG, Brunson, Mikal, Hart, and still have the best player remaining from that previous lot in Mitch Rob. Now coached by Thibs
Leon Rose came and built a winner from top down, just incredible what he did in only 5 years

He did all that in FOUR years. Had us in the playoffs in his FIRST year following a 21 win season. Three of those four years we made the playoffs. Second round twice. All with no drafted superstar and only one known superstar trade. Piece by piece. From the ground up. This front office has done what no other FO could do since Dolan took over. They made him disappear while building a contender in a few short years.

Who knew? NOBODY!

A very nasty person right here folks!!!!

[FrozenEnvelope]

People who want Thibs to use a 10 player rotation that includes rookies and no player playing more then 30 mpg will never be happy no matter what and will never give him any credit.

Guess making the playoffs 3 out of 4 years after only making it 4 out of the previous 20 years doesn't matter. Or adapting to the league and personnel either, right?

It's kind of wild to be a Thibs team with a super efficient offense (2nd in offensive rating) but a terrible defense (21st in defensive rating)

The dead last pace kinda shows it though lol

Thibs is like Randle was gonna be this year to me. I kinda don't really care about what he shows in the regular season, it's all about playoffs.

Josh Hart, who was supposed to be our offensive crutch and what doomed this starting lineup according to some, is now at 14/9/6 on 60/35/85 splits. Good for a 69% true shooting percentage.

What an elite role player to have. This team has a special offense right now.

I cant say this enough....

The Heat with Bosh Bron and Wade started 9-8. Wade and Bron couldnt figure out how to play off each other early. About 15 games in Wade takes the alpha role and fricken the rest is history.

The teams construction is about as ideal as it gets for a Thibs system except ONE thing ...they need a true elite backup rim protector. Mitch is THAT CAT. Precious will help somewhat here as well. Now can he stay healthy? Or do you try and still trade for Kessler or Poetl?

i'd argue another 3&D wing is more important than a back up rim protecting big. solely for keeping jHart/og/bridges healthy. if we could get another serviceable wing in the mix to limit these guys mins and help keep em fresh for a playoff run it would be ideal.

Precious is a 4/5. He can backup OG and the domino effect will help. Deuce added to the bench will also help. Pac is still a rookie but he can offer a couple of minutes here and there. Ryan is still here. Sims is still here. We are as deep as ever and, deeper than most teams in the league at full strength.

I don't think we need to trade anyone at all. Just staying healthy will take this team to another level on both ends of the ball. They will be a problem for everyone in the league. I think we need to see far more from this bench before we start talking trades and needs. Even with Mitch being injury prone, which is the only reason we talk about trading him.

Deuce/Payne/Precious/Mitch is a problem. Stagger any starter you want with that group and we are a bigger problem. Kolek/Pac/Ryan/Sims/Huk are the in case of emergency third string. Any one of them can fill in off the bench at times. We haven't even seen that McCullar kid yet either.

We good. Let's roll!

Ideally since KAT is a bit injury prone himself I'd want to spin Mitch for a guy like Poetl or figure out how to get Kessler here. I want a less injury prone rim prtoector.

The team can be good and still have a HC with flaws and, no one is ALWAYS happy with anything. Be it a job, a spouse or, a team they root for. Look at the recent Brunson heat. Some of it is ridiculous but, some is slightly warranted. The difference with Thibs is it has been his ENTIRE career of doing things people have issues with. Having a bunch of talent that masks those flaws doesn't excuse them.

Ideally we would all love five starters coming off the bench but, realistically we are as deep as hell and better than most teams in the league. Injuries are always gonna be a risky situation. Especially around here.

We can't afford Poetl and Kessler(getting paid soon)plays for Ainge... There are cap and apron rules that make things very difficult. 2-1 trades have side effects moving forward.

He doesn't like losing to the Knicks(because he's soft and ran his mouth when he got to Brooklyn)even when he's not playing, he looked ticked. It don't bother me none.

Fixed for accuracy.
