More than half the time when you are screaming at the monitor "why the fuck is he on the floor!?" you are probably right, that guy better belongs to the bench. Besides, the star players tend to play to their preference rather than entirely executing your coach's X and Os. Even Greg Pops failed in that regard too in Thunder series. Too many ISOs and stuck up plays by Aldridge and Kawhi. When they went to the bench, players were moving the ball better and putting up less contested shots. So how Thibb was so successful and at the same time notoriously blamed for breaking down and gassing out his key players, is not a rocket science. Imagine KD and Durant playing 10 more minutes per game during regular season. They'd win more ofc. That should also somewhat explain Thibb's struggle too. He no more had those 'right' combination of players on offense because goners were Korver and Rose and Nate Robinson was your best emergency plan. X and O will be only as good as your players.
I will never forgive thibb one thing, giving 24-30mpg for Hinrich and now the best part....he was in defensive rotation!!!!!! I can understand 5seasons ago, but he keep him in rotation last year! most important minutes and whos on the court? Freaaaakin Kirk. Next thing, giving Boozer so many minutes, limit Gibson minutes and not improve that player as starter in his best years. Thibb is only average coach, good in defensive sets, poor in ofensive, average overall+ he cant adapt to new situation, no new vision. He will be good for Wolves for sure, because he will fix their bad defense but nothing more.
