Thibs dumb ass shoulda went with nate in the 4th

He should have put Noah back in earlier in the 4th.

He also should have left Noah and Nazr in the game after West was going off and tacking on the fouls. Not sure why he left Deng to guard him for that long of a stretch.

Yea they missed gibson tonight cuz deng was guarding the pf cuz boozer sorry ass can't play in crunchtime cuz of his attrocious defense and he left noah on the bench way too long.I think it was 3:20 left in the 4th when he brought noah back in

Noah was jumping up on the sideline while he watched too.

It looked like he had to beg Thibs to sub him back in. I think Hibbert scored 2 baskets that were a direct result of the Bulls playing that small. He scored a hook on Nazr, and he got a easy tip in where the only person at the rim was Teague.

Also, considering they just brought Amundsen in, why not throw him out there a few minutes? I mean he was on the Pacers squad, he's played with them and against them in practice... just would have made sense to use him when they were getting destroyed by West.

I'm numb to his rotations now anyway. 2 years and change and he's still suspect with his rotations.

:what: calm down breh.... I'm actually surprised by this effort with no Hinrich and Taj in the lineup. They battled against one of the best home teams in the NBA, and were getting hosed all night with calls and still almost found a way to win.

So yall can get mad that no moves was made at the deadline. But i cant say how i feel after a loss?

Thibs baffles me. he plays :noah: a gang of minutes in a blowout til the end of the game, then decides to rest the hell outta him in a game that's really close against the division leader.

attacking the basket, not settling for jumpers. Should of have had a few more FT attempts still


:heh:

Nah go ahead fam... Loss sucks, but look on the bright side: Rose was back on the bench, and Butler/Teague got some nice development minutes. Hopefully we can get a bounce back win Wednesday.

This is why it's gonna be a problem come playoff time, where there's nobody that can back him up effectively.

Noah might end up on the Smiley Jam screen :sadcam:

I think the only bright side of not having a back up center is that it'll mean more minutes for Taj in the playoffs. Thibs does have questionable rotations, but he's shown he's not that stupid when it comes to benching snoozer.
