Did I tell you guys that I really like our youth?
NYKMentality @ 12/29/2021 8:56 PM
Our young bench is straight up fire power.

Burks doing his thing. Taj grinding no quit.

But IQ/DeuceObi trio is ELECTRICITY off the bench.

From down 14 and in less than 5 mins it's tied.

Damnit man am I enjoying this TEAM right now.

For this game i think he left the starting 5 out on the floor way too long to start the 2nd half. Maybe if nothing good is happening the first 3 minutes Thibs should automatically bring in the bench. This could save the team a headache by the end of the game at the same time send a message to the starting 5 that he wont tolerate sloppy/stagnant plays from the starting 5.

And if the second unit does not always work out do you put back in the first unit you just benched? Not sure their confidence would be high? Or should we go to the third stringers?

The point I keep making is that Thibs knows he NEEDS his starters playing well and feeling confident in order to do anything this year. . Benching them after 3 minutes does nothing to help that. Think Thibs knows that the second unit is playing well and they are playing better together. Think of how good we would be if our first unit puts it together as well.

Win or lose, night in and night out, the 2nd unit is so much more fun to watch. 2nd unit earned the right to finish this game!

Alec Burks to the All Star game
Jimbo5 @ 12/29/2021 9:01 PM
Look at the plus/minus of the 2nd unit with the game tied at 71, it's ridiculous. Burks +19, IQ 18, Taj 22, obi 27, and McBride +30 without scoring any points! There is no reason Thibs should bring the starting 5 back unless the second unit tires down or he doesn't want to win.

Burks really sparked this team back in control

Detroit Pistons = Law of diminishing returns.

We stop Bey and Diallo and the rest of the team will play as they are supposed to.

If Thibs puts the starters in now I’m done watching.

I’ll take losing for $800 Alex. What is sub in Randle for Obi. Ding ding
