The winner of this game will likely tie up the series @ two games a piece or take a commanding 3-1 series lead. Those are the only two viable options.

Haven’t done a head to head comparison but Mitch (or Hart) is probably better than their 6th and McBride is not that different than their 7th. The rest IMO is not as relevant for a playoff matchup.

In either case, our starters are way ahead and should be sufficient. We don’t even need all of them to play a great game. Get four of them to play to their potential and the rest as average and that is enough.

I don't get this Jim Carey love man, in his coaching career, he's missed the playoffs 7/23 seasons, lost in the first round 8/23 seasons, so 65% of his career hasn't made the playoffs or won a playoff round. Why are people treating this guy as if he's Pop?


Cause they hate Thibs and would also hate Carlisle if he was our coach too.

Carlisle has a ring and won in a finals where he was the underdog by a large margin. Thibs is a washed up assistant coach whose claim to fame is ending his players careers. Carlisle will go down swinging and at least trying to adjust and win games. Thibs will lay down in a canoe with 1000 holes and sink to the bottom. They aren't remotely close. Thibs is Scott Brooks, Steve Clifford, Vinny Del Negro, Dwayne Casey and every other re-tread fossilized deer in headlights bench mollusk. **** him forever.

Edit: ChinoXl **** you too.

Deuce, Hart, Delon, Shamet vs TJ, Mathurin, Sheppard, Obi

They might have an edge but it’s not by a mile.

Thibs should be giving Precious some burn too tho… at least 5 mins just for his size/length n switchability. He’s good in transition too n has fresh legs.

Not getting hopes up Thibs goes 10 deep tho
