    He's just not that great consistently anymore

    He dominated every game in the playoffs last year.

    Had Lopez and LA scared as ? to get in the post.

    Bruh, L.A. put up numbers on the Rockets and controlled the post. Were you watching the same series?

    L.A. was setting records.

    Here's exhibit A For the people who question why bulls fans say thibs can bounce and we wouldn't care.The dude refuses to adapt and this pic is noah at the 5,taj at the 4 and niko at the 3 but you should get my point every team guards noah like that when pau is in the game it messes up spacing

    Noah my boy but he's been hobbled most of this year(but he played real good from late jan-march) and his best role is point C that's why he was 1st team all nba last year but with rose in the line up he's relegated to a hustle player who crashes the boards and offensively he's not a scoring threat

    A proactive coach would make an adjustment and start taj at the 4 and bring noah off the bench in his natural 5 position so he can facilitate for the 2nd unit playing point C,be the defensive anchor like he's been the last 4 years and play less mins like the fo asked.Thibs says nope I'm gonna do the same thing no matter what all year long.

    LA shot a bunch of jumpers all series long.

    I actually dont know why the Nets are considered an auto sweep. In all seriousness. The Pacers were the #1 seed last year and got taken to the brink by the 8th seed Hawks, who ironically had the same record as this year's Nets. And this team was better than that team. Idk why the Nets cant win 1 or 2 games.

    Boston 5th best defense and 10th best offense last 38 games, Cleveland 20th ranked defense, with Isaiah Thomas on the floor we are the 2nd most efficient offense only behind Golden State

    Celtics in 6

    Cavs best record since January.

    Lillard is the second option.

    I don't know why you out his name there.

    If LA ain't on that team they would be a 20 win team.

    Which player/coach would you be most impressed with if he led his team to a ring?

    Harden - Rockets
    Curry - Warriors
    K Leonard - Spurs
    A Davis - Pellicans
    LBJ - Cavs
    J Butler - Bulls
    Paul - Clippers
    Gasol - Grizzlies
    Lillard - Blazers
    Dirk -Mavericks
    Atl Coach - Hawks

    already happened
    its pretty much the spurs blueprint all over

    curry wit the warriors because its a rookie coach and no one before this year had them as a contender

    i dont think thibs understands certain offensive principles i know it sounds stupid for someone like me to say but its like he doesnt care about having shooters on the floor (having bogans get minutes over korver still makes me sick)

    hes stuck in the 90s

    and its not like he doesnt have the pieces to switch up which makes it the more frustrating kc johnson on the radio the other day admitted to thibs not knowing how to manage rotations/matchups so i dont expect nothing to change since the only man in america to call thibs out on his ? (ron adams) is no longer part of the staff
