Thibs praises Shamet one day and then DNP-CD him another day.

Lost 4 out of 5 games. Thibs solution is to tighten the rotation even more.
Fire Thibs!

I don't understand his game management philosophy at all. It's frustrating.

Mikal can create too, he should be the primary shot creator when JB goes to the bench, Thibs just doesn’t allow him to

Perspective. I have recently been struggling to figure out why he's out there, other than giving someone rest. Nothing he does is even mid by any stretch of the imagination. He's out there to hit some 3's. Shooting 7% out there this month.

Man it really sucks watching your players go for 23 in a quarter on 11 shots and draw fouls like a mad man while he's torching the defense. We need to go away from that. I'd rather watch Giannis and Dame go fo most of their teams points instead.
