Thibs wont play the rooks and just settles with riding the vets. OK
Now we are seeing the effects on the vets.
But we all knew these would happen eventually. Only one who is stubborn is Tom himself

At least they would be fun to watch and easy to root for. The players getting minutes now are just bad basketball and frustrating to say the least. Record aside, preseason was hella fun and it's been downhill ever since.
Tf would u want Sims to start bc he csn jump high? Hes completely lost on defense and will foul out in5 minutes
Give Sims a break. The game has to "slow down" for him
Lol I actually like the kid bc of his athleticism and build. We need more help on the glass. Best thing would be him to take Noel's minutes next year lmao like that'll happen. If Noel is still on the team

Thibs doesn't want to lose the vets. While it's frustrating for us, it is still a bit early. We're going to hover around .500 for the first half of the season and Thibs will not make any crazy changes to the starting 5.
It's Thibs's lack of in-game adjustments that has me more concerned because he'll let us get down by too much before he makes a change. Then just when the pendulum has swung back in our favor, he'll put the other guys by in.

Lmao who didn't see this coming. Thibs is very practical. Even still should see results and maybe makes the change permanently when Kemba comes back.
The major difference with Burks this year is his defense. He wants more minutes and has what it takes to get them

This is his MO, right?
Thibs always likes to start the worse of the two point guards

Randle is bringing up the ball 50% of the time anyhow.

He does say it's more important who finishes. But I don't even trust him on that all the time.

Lmao I actually think Burks has a say with Randle so this should be interesting. Randle refers to him often.
Lot of fans down on this one i actually think it'll be close

Thibs is a weirdo. Burks has suspect handle. Just keep it simple and start IQ. Deuce off the bench.

Thibs is saying he went with Burks because of experience.
90% of the coaches out there think like this.

How dare you besmirch the good name of Bob McAdoo. I would go with Spencer Haywoodyablowme
Randle plays like Bob, but lazy. Hence, the name.

I think IQ should start. But IQ has looked kind of dubious at PG for the most part, small glimmers of hope aside.
I'd still start IQ
