:snoop: NOAH SHOOTING 38% FROM THE FIELD
AND 0% FROM THE FT LINE.

GIVING US 4.5 PTS
PLAYING 36 MINUTES A GAME.


:devil:
:evil:

Thibs needs to bench him, thats absurd

Most of you might not watch the Blackhawks, but they have a coach that makes tough decisions like this during the playoffs every damn season. Has two rings to show for it too

Noah is killing us offensively, and giving us nothing worthwhile on defense

I just dont get what Thibs is waiting for. These film sessions must be straight up embarrassing for Naoh right now .... goddamn. Look no further than Dunleavys comments @red222 posted earlier

You cant even call Noah a nonfactor, hes actively hurting our offense

He should be coming off the bench and playing with Niko at the 4, I wouldnt pair him with anyone else right now

He's waiting for Noah to play his way out of it. The problem with that is this is the playoffs, not a January regular season game. There is no time to play yourself out of a funk with your regular minutes. Restrict his time, then if he shows some sort of improvement gradually give him more minutes:snoop:

I don't think you bench Noah (might break up the team internally) but you scale his minutes back.

I don't think thibbs trust Niko so much since this is his first playoffs.

But he should consider matching the bucks small ball by moving gasol to 5 and playing snell at the 4 to match dudley

Gasol
Snell
Niko (guard their worse offensive player)
Butler
Rose

This will give gasol more spacing as well, you can swap snell for dunleavy and move niko to PF to get even more shooting on the floor. It also helps rose as there isn't 2 big men clogging the paint

Against cleveland with love being out we're probably going to have to go small because lebron will play PF a lot especially late in games when they want another shooter on the court with him and kyrie is jr swish is suspended.

Why list Snell as a 4 & Niko as a 3 in the same lineup? :dahell:

I get your overall point, but that makes no sense

Just depends on matchups. Niko can be the PF. My point was to match the bucks small ball because dudley has been hiding on gibson all series long. Make him actually defend someone instead of always helping out and guarding our other players

it's easy to suffocate the opposing team, when you only have to guard 4 of their players with 5 of your own.
