Tom Thibodeau, coach of death. 

Post#1 » by JudBuchler » Fri Jan 26, 2018 9:08 pm

The Timberwolves need to fire this guy immediately. I think the league has to think about imposing a suspension or ban on this guy.

I know for a fact its been discussed in here before. Although I havent seen it yet.

How many careers has this guy killed?

I saw an article with Noah, who can't get a minute of basketball anymore. Now he is sent packing because he is angry. IM thinking. Bro you suck that's why, then im like wait, is it really Noah's fault this happened?

Noah was at a time one of the most valuable centers, like a Horford, but even better. Charles even said at one point "MVP canidate and future HOF'er" lol

Rose was an MVP and was going to have a career of the ages for a guy playing point guard.

Deng was a spectacular player who did everything right and was a great teammate.

Ben Gordon is in the loony bin.

Carlos Boozer went nuts and flew to China.

So many more I can't name right now. I feel like in 3 years we will start to see the effects on the Timbs players...

This guy is insane. The last straw for me was when I was doing research and he was playing his starters 40 minutes when they were out of playoffs and with some homegrown talent needing a chance to show themselves. He still ran these guys out for like 38-43 minutes a game.

He is out of his mind.

The T-Wolves only play on one side of the ball, their players have enough energy to play 40+ minutes a game.

I never liked Thibs as a coach, but he is good. The biggest issue on his system is his minutes alocation. He can't developt his players and don't come up with the Jimmy Butler example, because it was one out of many.

I don't get the complaint about him playing his guys too many minutes. It was pretty common back in the day for players to play at least 40 minutes a game. It's nothing new. This rest crap has gotten out of hand, save it for the last few weeks of the season.

He's partly right though. I remember a game Warriors already won, and Thibs has his starters out there with 1 minute left. There's also a video of Jimmy talking that he is tired and he needs to talk to Thibs about it when asked post-game a few weeks back. The guy is out of his mind. :lol:

Damn, Minny fans should not complain Thibs has really loosened up in this regard.

Luol Deng played 39 mpg for 3 straight seasons, when his body started falling apart at 28, Jimmy took over the mantle and went straight to 39. Jimmy was played 60 minutes in one playoff game.

Thibs is doing a lot better with Minny than Chicago.

OP is over the top but I can definitely see Thibs getting really old quickly as a player. His temper tantrums on the sidelines are nauseating.
