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.
