2 1/2 cents for Thibs

It's been a while since I've posted.  I'm sorry.  I have let the team down a bit.  I thought they would be OK without my guidance, but apparently they are not.

Nene' got his 5th foul with 8 minutes left in regulation; and his coach kept him in.  It took another 13 minutes before we drove hard at him.  When someone (especially their best player) has 5 fouls, you have to drive at him.  He either has to A) Get out of your way and let you score or B) foul you.   Nene was killing us.  As soon as he got 5 fouls, every play should've been directed at him.

Secondly, Thib's short rotation is a problem.  12 guys suit up and you only play 8.  What happens if some get in foul trouble or the game goes long and our guys get tired?  You need to give your bench more playing time so you can trust them in the playoffs.   Fresh bodies are an asset. 

Thirdly, we need to have some offensive-minded strategy.   Thibs, your defense is great.  But sometimes you need offense.  You need an offensive coordinator (I am available). 

And what happened to running the offense through Noah?  That worked great all season.  Why are we leaving it to the guards on the perimeter all game? 

That's all.
