Thibs being predictable as always will not change IQ’s role and will start Rose in place of Brunson

Or

Thibs shakes things up and gives IQ the promotion. Rose comes off the bench

Im really excited for IQ. What a great kid... hope he has a good game(s)

I wouldnt be suprised if we just play 8 and bench is McBride/Hart/Sims with a taste of Svi

"Machine gun" Mykhailiuk making it rain from the Ukraine! Better hope RJ doesn't get in foul trouble

I am as excited to see what Thibs does as I am to watch the kids play.

Really feels like he wants to give this 9 a long stretch together to build chemistry. If that means playing 8 until Brunson comes back Im cool with that. Should only be a few weeks

Starting Rose would be a bad idea because the first few minutes of a game unsually starts pretty fast. Injuries are more likely when a player is spent. Rose coming in when the tempo is a bit slower works for him, at this stage in his career.

Even though I was wrong about Rose's importance to the team this season. Other players have stepped up. I still believe contenders would be interested, if Rose isnt hurt, or worn down. Starting Rose increases the chance of the latter. Even if Rose doesnt finish a game.

I forgot about Svi. This would be a great opportunity for hm. He would fit well with the 2nd unit

no joke. Coaches really like him. Good shooter, physical player. I would absolutely give him a look in the 2nd qtr if someone's looking gassed. He does well he can go back to him

Thats the kinds of players Thibs can pull in and out of the lineup, with no complaints. He will be happy with any PT Thibs gives him. And gotta love knock down shooters, especially when paired up with one of the 3 guard defenders (Ya DIG).
