I see Thibs weaknesses like everyone else does, and I applaud Brown for his readiness to experiment with different lineups. I do see that starters play 2-3 minutes less, and so on, whatever that means. These are positives. At the same time, I see we have not shown the grit we had in previous seasons, that we are more often out-rebounded than previously, that our paint is not as well protected, that teams often get more offensive rebounds and put up more shots than we do, and so on. I also think that Thibs had by far, I emphasize this, better preparation, better reading of each game, and better accountability for the players. And so on.

What I want to say is that nobody can claim that Thibs was not as good and Brown is better black and white, or the other way around. There are no bad coaches in this league. I do maintain that I’d prefer Thibs to be at the helm, and at the same time I do support and wish the best to this team with Brown at the helm. Period.

All that matters is playoffs at this point. We will see

Right, because Thibs never did that before last year. Nor did he ever not play players who turned out to be perfectly playable. Nor did he play players like IQ, Obi, and Grimes fewer minutes than other coaches might have.

Please don’t tell people what they should or shouldn’t discuss. Obviously you are in the very small minority of posters who would prefer to have had Thibs at the helm, even though he was clearly losing the locker room, good for you!
