The first part is right on, the second part Im sure he will learn from as he grows as an American. I appreciate his optimistic view and positive inspiration. Freedom of speech includes the freedom to make mistakes, learn and move forward.
Im going to toast Enis Kanter Freedom tonight!

lol...you do realize that Thibideoux was quoted, right?

“It would be tough to play three small guards together,”

you need to explain to Thibs what the 'lie' is, not me

Thibs said Kemba was out of the rotation because it would be tough to play three small guards together.

Next game: Thibs plays three small guards together.

oh, and this game too if you’re watching.

but you just look at box scores and analytics.

That’s why you’ve got nothing else to say.

Deuces.

And yeah, that’s why I said the quote was BS and him just posturing for Kemba because he’s a NY native.
In fact in my post I stated that since he was QUOTED as saying they can’t play 3 small guards THAT IMPLIES he thinks Fournier and Barrett are undersized.

Did u even read bro

who are the "3 small guards"? Quickley & Rose (neither started)...who else?

lol...maybe you need to read

anybody with a lick of sense would know Thibs was talking about Quickley, Rose, and Kemba. That's why Kemba is out of the rotation...because Thibs prefers the other 2 smal guards

 

[Hoopguru]

Its just a matter of time before NY fans turn on Thibs and he turns on them.

Who did they close with today vs the nets?

Alec Burks (PG/SG) 6’6
Derrick Rose (PG) 6’2
Quickley (PG) 6’2
Randall (PF)
Robinson (C)

This lineup is actually SHORTER than the lineup with Kemba… and it ended the game. And it features Rose + Quickley are shorter than Fournier and Barrett. Like I said, it’s about Kemba sucking.

JFC

Two of the small guards BY THIBS ADMISSION are RJ and Evan.

1) RJ
2) Fournier

The third was Kemba.

Thibs and the Knicks D switches everything 1-3. So he had to take Kemba out of the starting lineup. That’s why he was yanked leading to the comment, “can’t play 3 small guards.” Kemba was playing with Fournier and Barrett.

Got it?

Anybody with a lick of sense also knows Rose was still out injured before and after Kemba got benched… LOL


your OP also has “Thibs said he can’t play 3 guards together in bold” and now you’re saying who are the 3 small guards? Lmaooo fuck outta here

Thibs said he wasn't going to play 3 small guards. He didn't say anything about 2 small guards

LOL...you're so far off on this you're trying to argue that a couple of 6'6 guys are small guards

which 3 players do you think Thibs was referring to when he said small guards?

OMG, Curry is so inconsistant! He sucks!

Blow it up! Fire Kerr! Move that team to Las Vegas!

The difference is the Warriors are proven winners and look amazing this year.

Not like us who have looked like crap or average many times.

We blew out the Suns. Curry disappeared a big game. Again.

 

[Buffalo Custard]

If there is one sport superstition I believe it is that disrespect for the opposition is bad karma. At the least, it is a sign of insecurity.

Curry has won titles. And will win one this year. Again.

How many have we won the last 40 years?

[GDiama]

Thibs said Kemba was out of the rotation because it would be tough to play three small guards together.

Next game: Thibs plays three small guards together.

Deuces.

A)Burks is not a small guard
B)Now instead of 3 6'2 guys they use 2.


Where is the lie?

Also please try read the article from The Athletic. Would clear things up for you. It states there who Thibs was refering to.

 

[Shaboid]

Impressive

SIGH

You actually took time to give this a well thought out reply? Shame on you cat!

 

[THE HCP]

@THE HCP

Thats just it. Russ starts out slow every season it seems. People want to give our beloved Blazers time to deal with a new system, but not other teams. Thats funny to @THE HCP . Melo has played great for them as well. I think the best pick up for them this past offseason was Monk to be honest.

It's now December.
