Probably, yeah. Thibs teams make the playoffs. He is a great coach.

His problem is his teams are ground down by the season and the heavy practice schedule. But they win.

Hopefully for them he can find the balance that keeps them winning but also keeps his team a bit fresh.

Also, frick the Pels Front Office.

Their core is super young and should buy in 100%. Home run hire for Minnesota.

The Pels organization is such in shambles. So aggravating when you now know Minnesota is gonna put beatings on you for the next however long.

Oh and we have one of the best players in the NBA and our front office still can't get it right.

This offseason will show if we're gonna just go down with the ship and let AD get aggravated and eventually walk OR if we're gonna try and fix this thing.

Come on ping pong balls.

That is a sweet fricking mullet.

And yeah, the Wolves are finally getting it right. I do think Wiggins is a bit overrated, but KAT is completely legit.

As long as Thibs doesn't grind this team to dust, they will be good for a long while.

Might not be as long as you think. thibs will run them into the ground. Wears on players minds and bodies quickly. Young players grow tired of him quickly.

I would have given my left nut for the Pels to hire Thibs last year at this time.

I had a meltdown when they hired that bum Gentry. Not that it matters much when Demps is calling the shots.

The Bulls falling apart this season definitely made him look better to a lot of people.

Guess Pelicans fans are frustrated by the situation they are in, Thibs never seemed to be real interested in going there.

Good hire by the wolves if it happens. The Wolves will probably be the most appealing team that is looking for a coach this off season, so it makes sense that he would want to coach all that young talent.
