OMG...did Marv Albert just say that Rose has no turnovers so far????

wrong. thibs plays the best players. that is not a doubt. snell is on fire, thibs will keep starting him until he goes into a slump.

I think he should definitely be on the Nazr Mohammed plan. Snell gives them a different dimension. He showed it during the Vegas summer league. I know it was just summer league but you have to start somewhere. It is obvious now that Thibs was Bullshitting the guy.

Or drops!

no. snell is showing the magic they hoped he had in him. tonight hes as good as anyone on the floor. you cant even tell if hes an offensive guy or defensive... hes both.

thats the beauty of youth. ride this guy until he is luol dengs age and then trade him to cleaveland so he can end up in miami.

I'm saying they should release Hinrich, ya knob...

_________________

That's not true. Hinrich has been in a slump all season. He is shooting 36% for the season. He was still starting until he was injured.

_________________

Yup...he and Gasol are a solid second tonite behind Rose. ALL the Boys have been good....well, Dunleavy not so much.

Noah 10 pt /15 rb/ 7 ast

Snell with the floater and the soft-touch.

I don't think the Cavs offense has pushed the ball below the top of the key this quarter.

Jordan numbers dropped dramatically because of his time in Washington. Same will happen later in LeBron's career. His was never good from 3 though.

What do I know but I liked this game and the last 10 days or so. But I am told it doesn't matter. That is unless they want to talk about the firing of the coach.

Hinrich earned his trust. Snell is doing that now. Butler had to do the same. I think it makes them better.

hinrich is a proven commodity. he really does 'run' an offense and thibs likes experience on the floor. if you dont have much experience you must be really good.

On Nas' comment I believe that makes Thibs a good coach. I truly he gives a shit who you are or what you make. Are you going to do your job and come through today. That is what he thinks of.

Dunleavy the only Bull with a negative +/-.

Thibs finally thinks the game is safe enough to rest the possibly ailing Dunleavy and give Dougie McEurobuckets a minute of playing time.

They shouldn't release Kirk. He's done enough over his career to keep his roster spot.

Yep. That's why Boozer was benched in the 4th even though he was making $18M.

Earned his trust? He only played him because Hinrich was injured. He did the exact same thing with Jimmy Butler. He only got minutes when Deng was injured. I called this last week. Etwaun Moore also earned his trust? He was receiving minutes over Snell also. It was a mistake to keep the kid on the bench.

look, thibs rides his hot hands until they fizzle out. however, if you are a proven player (takes years of high level play) you will get time to ride out slumps. thats why rose is rarely benched even if he plays like SHIT, and why snell keeps playing if he is doing what he did tonight (WOW). but the first couple games snell shows regression he will sit back down.

thibs works the system hard. he makes unproven players fight for their spot on the roster and gives them a short leash until they show they can do their jobs blindfolded. his format makes sense.

When we get past the Thibs excuse making we're left with the fact that the kid should have been playing. Kirk Hinrich plays hard but he has the look of a guy on his last legs. He should not have been playing and neither should Etwaun Moore. I don't think he should be fired but if he were there is no doubt that his refusal to play young players unless he has no choice would def. Come into play. Hinrich was getting 27 min. A game and avg. 6 points on 36% shooting. It's obvious he is about done. He is def. finished as a regular rotation guy. If not he should be. Maybe a spot min guy. That's it.
