Tom Thibodeau said he went back to RJ Barrett late in the game because Barrett gave them more length switching against OKC’s wings.
I don’t agree with this. I get the line of thinking but Rj was getting cooked tonight on defense which doesn’t happen often this season but IQ was playing way too good to pull out. I’m sorry but thibs fuck up badly.
This coach can’t take us to where we need to be man. It’s always trade someone when they don’t play well and the coach frequently escapes criticsm when he frequently puts guys in positions to fail rather than succeed – I’m excited when the FO catches on and we can see a new look at the helm of the team first

Then RJ went and doubled the ball off from the hot hand, Williams then hit another 3.
Idiotic.

Tbh it made sense in the game, quick and brunson were getting punished by J Will and the OKC.

So is Grimes just not gonna get a chance to win his spot back? He was playing good today and is still our best perimeter defender, why not sub him in? Thibs has been good for a while but this reasoning makes no sense at all

RJ for Bogdanovich please.

No need to blame Thibs for expecting RJ not to suck and for him to do the job he’s paid 24 million dollars to do this season. The NBA season is a marathon and RJ will be phased out cause he has been given 5 years and has shown little improvement and may even be regressing.

Thibs is burning down every player on this team

I know *why* he did it, I just don’t agree with the decision

Yeah remind me of when maxey gets taken out for size, or any other undersized guard that’s scoring their ass off in a game. What a fucking joke.

Sigh. I never want to hear the name RJ again after this season

For “more length” when Jalen Williams was torching him alive…
