Anyway good game. Always nice to humiliate Trae and the Hawks. But we pretty much guaranteed to lose tomorrow cuz Thibs overplayed the starters again.

Our bench is average at best.

Nice I've been wanting to do this. I had a quest 2 and when I thought I was going to watch a game like this it was just a regular 2d experience as I didn't realize it wasn't the actual immersive one. Is it free or did you have to pay?

Honestly right now I got him 2nd on the PG depth chart over both Payne and Kolek.

Two of the bench guys that Thibs has confidence in were out (Deuce McBride and Mitchell Robinson)

The other four bench guys all got between 21 to 31 minutes tonight: Cameron Payne, Precious Achiuwa, Delon Wright, Landry Shamet

He kept Hart, Bridges, and Towns below 33 minutes tonight

OG played below 35 minutes

I actually think that's pretty impressive for Thibs


It's a bit better but still not where it needs to be. The bench including Kolek when you are up 30 should be playing the majority of the minutes period. If the other team gets back into it , you don't panic until they at least cut the lead in half to 15.

Dude just doesn't fully get it.

He hasbeen a bigtime fit here and right now should most definitely be the 2nd PG over anyone not named Brunson. His offense is adequate, he can ballhandle, can hit the 3 and most of all he has length and can play D at the 1.

With everyone healthy your bench is:

Mitchell Robinson (desrves 20+)
Achiuwa (deserves 10-15)
Shamet (Deserves 18-20)
McBride (Deserves 20+)
Wright (deserves 18-20)

Kolek
McCullar


If THibs plays them even close to the minutes they should play, the starters will be very well rested.

Is Thibs’ record due to him being a good coach?
Or rather a product of the great rosters constructed by his respective front offices?
Give him Fizdale’s rosters and I wonder what his record would be

He got to the 4th seed with Fizdale's roster lol

The team we have now is full of players almost every fan did not want.

I remember him being solid and then seeming to fall of huge during his time with the Bucks. But now we see he still can play.

I’d argue the 2020 roster was better than the 2019 roster
AlsovI’m pretty sure I have posts where I said I wanted Brunson with the signing, OG over quick and RJ in the trade, and Mikal
Regardless I’ll stick to my guns, I think Thibs is a floor raiser, not a banner raising coach

I was wrong about Delon. I would rather play him over Payne come playoff time.

honest question how do you take Delon Wright out of the rotation. He is way more impactful than Cam Payne.
4-Peat! 22-25 BAF Champion Spurs:

ROSTER

Walker Kessler/Daniel Gafford/Adem Bona
Nikola Jokic/Santi Aldama/Isaiah Stewart
