He is an elite defensive coach. Always has been.

And he is very good at getting his guys to play hard all 82 games. That isn’t easy.

So yes, I am defending Thibs as a solid coach because he is one.

Your always blame the coach act is tired and wrong.
How is he an elite defensive coach?

Does he emphasize defense , yes, Fornier’s butt would agree.

Does this better than avg team do every thing on D to win , Like box out, A basic fundamental? NO.

Look, I like thibs , and yes, right now the team Is not a contender , but no one , esp Robinson has really developed under his watch. Foul shooting is atrocious and his foul trouble is beyond troubling.

Where’s the discipline?

Because it doesn’t matter. We are talking a regular season game in November. Without Embiid in the playoffs they’re dead on arrival anyway. You don’t craft a team around the idea of we want to be the best team we can be when the best player is out.
I'm not buying Harden could help them anyway. His name is his only reputation now. He's just not that guy anymore, and that's fine. Not everyone can be like a LeBron or Malone playing at a high level in their mid to late 30s.

You can't make wine out of sewer water.

Robimson, always gimp.

Randle, only cares about scoring.

Hart, can defend but wants more offensive touches.

RJ, Average.

Btunson, tries. But, is small and not very fast.

Thibbs has his warts.

But he didn't put this roster together.

Embiid got his MVP, mainly because of People tiring of Jokic. Time for some new blood.
True. He had an MVP worthy season, Jokic was just better.

They are what they are. a 4 or 5 seed decidedly worse than the top 3

t lance used the word elite . You know the man is the thesaurus of the game.

For today’s game thibs is considered a hard nosed coach. elite in any respect is far reaching.

Can’t disagree. I think that’s what it’s become. I think it may be Luka’s turn if Dallas can perform as a top 2/3 seed in the West.
I think SGA has a very good chance to win one, just a question of when.

No way. You’re saying the people that brought him into the world are defending their son? That clinches it for me. This is a convincing development since they have his back. Case closed. His mom and dad love him. That’s a wrap.

I agree it was expected, just like the social media idiocy.

Yes.

I said he was an elite DEFENSIVE coach.

His results beat that out. He engineered the KG Celtics defenses that were at the top of the league. His Bulls teams were always great defensively and the Knicks have been a lot better than the sum of their parts on the defensive side.

There aren’t many better at coaching NBA defense than Thibs.
