Ok Thibs. You said it. And it's clear Mitch is back. In fact, Mitch might have been the most or second most impactful player on the floor last night.
So, stop ****ing around and start Mitch.
Our backs are against the wall and the firing squad is lined up. Let's not go out too timid to make a positive change.

You can start him, but you can’t play him big minutes. He’s still Mitch.

Or

Continue to be Thibs and do nothing to the starting 5

But

Fix the closing 5

Open the rotation to include shamett/wright or Precious.

Let’s say he makes the changes and we still lose, now what?

Thibs starting unit or reluctant to change it is one of many problems.

There’s a chance we get cooked anyway. This maneuver has all the magnifying glasses in the world on it now when it didn’t have to be like this. Other coaches tinker with lineups all the time. For some reason it needs to become the story with season on the brink of collapse for Thibs to do it.

This same thing happened against Atlanta when he finally started Rose for Payton and we lost anyway.

Glad he read my thread. Thanks for being open minded about it, Thibs

Good.
