Small sample size

Be well

GO BEARS!!!

Hoiberg dealt with a number of injuries and had to play guys that were fringe NBA guys in roles they were unsuited for. The Bulls became better by getting rid of guys. Hoiberg was 23-15 with Rose playing in a mask and people were still calling him a terrible coach. The whole argument was that Thibs would have them playing better.

Well last year Sam Mitchell had the Wolves playing better.

Not everybody buys into the "just work harder" philosophy.

The Wolves are currently 1 game better than Philly, who appear to be in their 82 consecutive year of tanking. That could never have been predicted.

I have hits of acid taped to my headband so when I work out... it's gets interesting.

Forced 3 hour practices on off days does not a champion make.

You can only tell someone to "sweep the leg" so many times before they start to question you.

I guess you didn't hear Pop the other day?

I think a lot of that is just for show. He never really calls anybody out by name.

And isn't he the poster child for holding back and not pushing guys too hard?

No one would care this early in the season.

Might want to rethink that one. He didn't become the GM and Coach because he made a mean burger at the local deli. Not that there's anything wrong with making mean burgers.

They are 11 games under .500 and as previously stated the aforementioned Hoiberg was repeatedly bashed before his first game. The "it's early" mantra is promoted by Thibs apologists because their isn't anything else to say. They are woefully underperforming. You said they'd be better than the Bulls out of the gate. They are already out of playoff contention. There was a lot of Kool Aid drinking about Thibs it's blowing up and now its feign apathy time. If they were 17-6 no one would be saying it's early.

So it's wrong to jump on a coach so early in his term with a team but not when you do it. Understood.

Hoi berg started 23-15.

He was never 6-17. If he were then it would have been appropriate. Also bashing a coach before he has ever coached an NBA Game makes little sense too. Thibs doesn't have that luxury. He is one game ahead of Philly and Philly isn't really trying to win games.

The presence of Thibs was promoted as a panacea for the better part of a year. His mere presence was all that was needed. The same people that had little patience for Hoiberg (Nas not one) are now spinning to make excuses for Thibs. When Justin Holiday, Eteaun Moore, and other assorted bums were logging Big minutes no one was preaching patience. In fact all i heard was that Thibs would have them playing much better.

_________________

You have a bizarre habit of citing things no one gives a shit about (Hoiberg being 23-15 after 38 games in an 82 game season). It's meaningless. The Wolves suck right now. Let's see if Thibs figures it out.

The only reason that people don't care is because it doesn't fit the narrative. They also don't seem to care much about the Timberwolves either. Funny how light the thread is now that he is getting his brains bashed in. They also don't care about the fact that Mitchell had an even younger team playing 3 games better at the same stage last year. Why would I care if people are disinterested in the facts?

The fact is that the dude was deified without ever really having accomplished anything. He has a talented team that is one of the biggest disappointments in the league and you are running from it because you were one of his biggest champions. Coaching only matters when it is Hoiberg apparently. That is obvious.

Ltg you're an odd guy. First of all, there's like 5 of us on the board that even care enough to comment anyway, so it's not like the whole board is being quiet or even cares. Second, I think many of us are gonna trust a 5 year sample size over a 23 game sample size. If you are right, time will show it. Chill out for a bit.

Again that's wrong. Hoiberg was never afforded that. It was never too soon to bash him and there was never any consideration given for the injuries either. It's not my fault that people overrated Thibs either. As far as only 5 people caring you're off there too. If they were rolling there would be more people commenting. There would be a lot of smiling faces too. Got to let the process playout but it is,hypocritical and inconsistent to bash Hoiberg and not Thibs.

Hoiberg finished with a winning record and it still wasn't good enough for some. Thibs is a middle of the road coach that was blessed with good talent during his first coaching gig and not once did any of the apologists ever admit that. Did you or anyone else ever ask for "chilling out" at any point during last season?


They stink and to be honest any person that has watched them play would be foolish to think that this is a championship contender in the future. Their games aren't even competitive and their record is in the bottom 5 in the league.

As far as playing better it's again a relative term. They finished last season 15-17 in their last 32. I wouldn't put much stock into that if they do it again. They are already out of playoff contention so I don't how anyone can continue to make the "it's early" comments either.

_________________

Once again, Hoiberg doesn't get the benefit of the doubt that Thibs does because he doesn't have a background suggesting he should. Thibs does. There is no 5 year record of success with Hoiberg.

The rest of what you wrote is pretty much all bullshit and you're being pretty weird and obsessive about this so that's all I really have to say on it.

So now you're a psychology expert? There isn't anything obsessive about it. It's no weirder than any other idiotic sports debate. I find most Cubs/Sox debates pointless bit I'd never question anyone's sanity for wanting to have one.

People were on here regaling in the greatness that is Tom Thibodeau. Now that he is coaching everyone is running from it. I'm not and it doesn't make a person crazy for wanting to follow it. Of he were 17-6 there would be a lot of people "obsessing" over it. I'm not going to post over it after every game but you really are an idiot if you think I'm supposed to ignore it.

Don't give me the track record crap either. His last 2 seasons coaching his teams have underachieved. It was never too early to bash Hoiberg. The only reason people aren't "obsessing" over it is because he is getting his ass handed to him.

There were 3 threads started related to the TWolves when he got hired. A team that hasn't made the playoffs in 12 seasons all of a sudden has all this interest? Was that considered obsessive?

I'm going to see this through to its conclusion. I don't give a damn what you or anyone else thinks about it either. The guys that tend to get this shit wrong always try silly ass deflections and obfuscations rather than simply stating they are wrong. Not this rip. Forget it if that is the angle.
