I don't care who we play, the odds just aren't good if rose and teague are starting together.

Agreed, these two were an awful pairing in the pre-season. Dis-synergy or something like that.....whatever the opposite of synergy is!

My guess is he's going to get a little over zealous out there, but it's understandable....first official game as a pro.

little too much to ask of Thibs to look at previous game tape and make adjustments. What does he do in his office for all those hours? It might be time to check his browser history, jk, kinda.

Maybe it would give Taylor grounds for his dismissal.

Knowing our luck we will all get amped up to see him only for Thibs to give Butler's minutes to Luol Deng

Thibs isnt someone who makes adjustments unless his hands are forced; ie injury or trade.

Butler regardless of his performance last night isn't in full game shape. Resting Butler makes sense. He did have a play where he came up awkward.

Okogie getting the start is quite the development. Thibs going outside of what is expected and it makes sense! Also it makes sense to start him agains the mavs I think it's a favorable matchup for himthe guys he will he facing.

It's highly unusual for Butler to miss a game to rest. That's not in Thibs' character or Butler's. It's one of two things. Butler keeps himself in superb condition year round with an intense off-season workout program. Either a trade is in the offing or his knee is causing him problems. I hope it's the former, but I fear it's the latter.

There is simply no substitute for playing in real games. Butler hasn't been doing that. It looks pretty obvious to me that's part of this. Thibs has actually sat people more than i would have expected. I wasn't surprised at all about this news especially when you see other guys around the league getting rest.
