Interesting to see how that works considering Toms passion for defense.

Yes that's why Thibs loved guys like Jamal Crawford. :)

When I think of Thibs, I think of up-tempo, rim-running, showtime offense, so Toppin should fit in well.

Hope Obi likes Ice

Thibs was a bit of a paradox in that he's known as this defensive guru, yet would be infatuated by shot-creating guards that didn't defend. Plus he never really held KAT or Wiggins accountable for poor defense, despite his sideline bellowing. I mean, did he ever bench either one of them to send a message? Instead, he'd just yell. Eventually people just tune you out if there is no substance behind your imploring.

Thibs did bench Wiggins a couple times...And played Jamal Crawford. Lol

Haha, it was so god damn obnoxious.

I made my own drinking game for it one night. I had to shut it off at halftime.
