This is the game where Kolek gets lots of minutes and people get upset

I think it's more about he wants his rookies to become students of the game before he's tosses them out there. Seems to be following path as IQ and Deuce. I think most of us -- at least me -- are aware that the CBA has to push teams to develop their young talent much sooner than previously. I'm a trial by fire guy, so I would've thrown Kolek and Ariel in from the get go.

He didn't have to throw them in the deep end but, he wasted a lot of time not letting them get their feet wet while we were shorthanded. Could have squeezed a few minutes a game out of them that weren't GT minutes. Whatever. It's Thibs. We didn't expect it and it didn't happen. What's new?

Then when he finally throws them out there, he gives them a short leash, and if they are not immediately looking like the archetype he envisioned.....he shelves them then has them sold for pennies on the dollar.

WTF is going on with this site? It’s on the blink again and KnicksGod is somewhere on the equator sipping Pina Coladas.

Viewing it on a PC, it seems like they updated the front end forum software, at the least.

Not sure how that's working on a phone; I'll check in a minute.

Smoother on an iPhone than it was before. Not sure about Android based devices. I ditched my semi ancient Samsung Note 8 about a month ago.
I try to buy top of the line (at the time) phones and then own them until they are total pieces of sh*t.

The phone was the issue for me. I'm on the computer now and it appears to be fine.

Early signs of dementia bro
Putting players out there, then forgetting he’s put players out there
Being a coach, and not coaching

Gonna miss this one - heading to the mountains. Though I'll spend my time thinking of an absurd player comparison. When/if i make it back ill post absurdly high expectations here and act like I'm a better fan for it. And have breakdowns and judge tf outta others who dare question my vast knowledge. 8-)
