nitetrain8601 Posted March 17, 2016 Share Posted March 17, 2016 QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:41 AM) Here are the games played for the starting 5 plus Taj Gibson 62 Games Rose 51 Games Dunleavy 63 Games BUtler 65 Games Noah 67 Games Gasol 78 Games So outside of Gasol, the starting 5 averaged about 20 games missed, not a game here and there, plus the guy who was supposed to be the new scoring threat in McDermott missing pretty much the entire year with a bad knee. Thibs had such great reserves as Nazr, Moore, and Snell to put in there with a few awesome starts from the Australian when Noah and Taj went down at the same time. Did Thibs have the same injury issues? Yes. Did he get forced out for a lesser coach who would do what the FO told him? Yes. Have the minutes changed at all since Hoiberg took over? No. QUOTE (KyYlE23 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:44 AM) No, when Joakim Noah is the focus point of your entire offense and Nate Robinson is your scoring threat, that is the worst of it. QUOTE (southsider2k5 @ Mar 16, 2016 -> 10:49 AM) Noah has missed 36 games, and counting. It will be nearly 50 by the time the season is done. Dunleavy has missed 50 games. Mirotic missed 15 games, after missing none the year before. Rose is about the only guy that has actually been healthier than normal. There have been times this year where they were running one or two starters out there, while missing 4 or 5 key guys. Thibs never had it that bad all at once. It isn't the whole story, but it has been a large part of the story. Kylle broke it down. There is no logical way to say firing Thibs was the right move considering all of his teams, including the one "he lost" last year did better than the team this year with the exact same roster.

Rose/Butler/Dunleavy/Gasol (and Gibson/Mirotic/whoever the other guy is at the time) have played exactly 0:00 together this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan4life_2007 Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Spurs put on a defensive clinic tonight. Held the Warriors to 79 points. They had Steph shook. The 2016 WCFs will more than likely be the GOAT series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SoxAce Posted March 20, 2016 Share Posted March 20, 2016 Will never bet against a Pop coached team. I've made my Thibodeau love known on this site for his brilliant defensive strategists, but the one guy who is even a step above him is Popovich.
