[Reggie Bullock] on playing for Thibs: “We really cared about getting scored on, or Thibs wouldn’t play you — Theo Pinson: “Yeah, you need to play defense or you wouldn’t play at all — except for Julius”

When I or another redditt keyboard warrior says this, we are quickly reminded that he’s a great scorer, all-star, etc. It’s interesting to see his peers verbalize what many of us see on the defensive side.

Can you really blame Thibs for that though? For the two years pre-Brunson Julius was the offense. The entire offense. Kind of in a hard spot as a coach there.

Star players get away with more than the day to day role players cause the team is built around them and they play bigger roles every team works that way, sorry guys.
Star players can get their coaches fired single handedly they have so much cache in the league, someone inform these two young guys.

Same thing can be said for literally every team in the leagues number 1 offense option (if you wanna call him 1B then whatever)
But we’re piling on Julius today so whatever

This is damning.

Julius Randle defenders, serious question. Do you think what he brings to the table is worth all of his low lights?(

Say what you will about them as players and their talent/skill, but I have now heard this kinda thing mentioned or alluded to now by: Reggie Bullock, Theo Pinson, Cam Reddish, Evan Fournier, Derrick Rose, and Kemba Walker.
The reality is Thibs has a huge problem with holding Randle accountable, and his favoritism of Randle gives him a much longer leash than he actually deserves. I don’t know how anybody can still attempt to deny this as this point.

That’s what I’ve been riding with since we had Julius. He’s great, but to be even better I blame Thibs for not taking more control of him and giving him a share of the blame as he did RJ in a post game interview. Every night Julius had a questionable game he always seemed to be spared from Thibs criticism.

Thibs won’t hold him accountable because he’s afraid of getting choked out.

This is pretty wild
Wow, Theo throwing shots. True though
Theo keeps it real lol
Last night’s game confirmed this as well
And Rose I’m sure.
Because, well, the rest of those scrubs couldn’t play offense.
In other news, water is wet.
Thibs is as predictable as they come. He is rigid as fuck, not even giving a pure shooter the chance to give us some needed points.
Not saying he is a terrible coach, or that he needs to get fired, but this is the way he does things and it will likely not change.
Reggie Midlock isn’t doing much better in Dallas is he
JEEEEEEESUS.
True
Bro got beat off the dribble by caleb martin yesterday and we was throwing his hands up like what happened
Let’s be honest, he’s probably saying what a lot of guys in the locker room are thinking.
I mean but like no shit? He isn’t benching Brunson for his defense either lol. And Pinson wasn’t sitting on the bench bc of his poor defense lmao
Pinson should be more worried about if he’s even in the nba next season
