Realgm is out for wiggins blood again and they think okogie is the guy that will take us to a championship this year.

He's gotta get minutes from somewhere. Keeping him on the bench is absurd.

Yeah that's fine. Having 3 interchangeable wings was what I was hoping for this year, Thibs hasn't taken advantage of it at all. Instead he's playing 2 points and having one stand and do nothing. The whole point of running two pg sets is for the ball movement. Looking at how Boston plays Smart, Kyrie, and Rozier together put us to shame. Share the ball or if you're not going to then use the length.

We need another ball handler, but not in thibs 4th q offense. Thibs is hell bent on playing 2 pg line ups so they can take turns probing late in games. He isn't playing 2 pgs for ball movement.

Yeah that's exactly it. Taking turns probing should be reserved for space travel and not 4th quarter offense. If you're going to have a guard stand around while the other goes iso they might as well be a good defender.

Our offense is tough to watch. No one knows where their shots are going to come from outside of teague and rose. Those guys get theirs and everyone sits back to be that bailout option.

Saric, cov, and wiggins now just stand around waiting. Even covington tried to iso from the 3 pt line a few times this game because thats the only way to get involved in the offense.

I mentioned a while ago that our offense got worse the more we practiced. And it isn't getting any better.

Thibs has to go no matter what. Yeah the Wolves look better but they are still not playing up to their potential. Thibs is holding this team back.

Teague played in a motion-oriented offense in Atlanta where they won 60 games and had the 2nd most assists as a team. So he is perfectly capable of playing in a ball/player movement oriented system. Thibs is just as much to blame here.

Thibs should take the bulk of the blame. I think Teague probes because he is looking for something. The problem is that the 4 other guys are rarely doing anything other than spreading out or clogging the paint. Weve had different players do the same thing, so this is likely a system issue. Rose on the other hand is decisive. He knows he is going to put pressure on the rim.

Thibs system fits one person on this roster; rose.
