"When you outrebound somebody like we did and to be in the position we were in, we beat ourselves."
-Tom Thibodeau
Lame thing to say, tbh. The Spurs played their azzes off to get that win.
you, Thibs
Thibs is a loser.
So, no credit to the Toros team who had just going in without lube over your team rear tonite, eh ?? Exactly the definition of a SORE LOSER.
Well, what else can he say? "Pop can beat my squad with his bench?" I agree, the Spurs just played harder and better tonight. They took this game away, it was not given to them.
I guess he's referring to the turnovers. I'd buy it if they were close all game and only lost by single digits. But not when they were thoroughly outplayed for the majority of the game by Kawhi & Co. tbh.
Pretty head move to not give the Spurs any credit for the win...
Well I think what hurt the Bulls was Thibodeau's rotations, Deng the all star being thoroughly outclassed by Leonard, and the turnovers. I guess I understand where he's coming from since usually controlling the glass is what puts you in prime position to win and the Spurs were playing without the Big 3.
But the Spurs definitely outplayed the Bulls tonight. Thibs needs to just congratulate the Spurs and move on.
Spurs win by 15 despite getting crushed on the boards 49 to 26. Must be some kind of record.
Well they did turn it over a lot. A of a lot. That's generally acceptable to attribute to oneself.
But still, [Spurs - Duncan/Parker/Manu/Jackson] > [Bulls - Rose].
If they beat themselves then they were beat by two teams tonight. That must really hurt.
He's just trying to motivate his team. If Pop said the same thing after we lost like that, We'd probably think fair enough, we should've won. Thibs doesn't(and shouldn't) care about how we feel, he's trying to get the Bulls players to work harder and be better.
Tom Thibodeau ain't bout dis life
Difference is, Pop DOESN'T say things like that. He's more apt to say "We got our asses beat," than to not give the other team any credit. I hear what you're saying, though.
You got ed in the ass by a bunch of nobodies on the second night of a back to back at home after your team had three days rest.
Drink your medicine and like it, Thibs.
Thibs is a great coach. But he is an anti-Pop among the great coaches in the league. For him, the regular season wins matter too much and he plays his main players to the ground (poor Rose, poor Noah with plantar fascitis). Plus being butthurt like this is not going to motivate his team, either, IMO.
I like to think our bench players are more than just a bunch of nobodies..
How severe do you think Thibodeau's punishment from Stern will be?
Not for making these comments, but for getting blown out by the Spurs' backups as Pop flashes another middle finger to the league.
Pop said the same thing basically, they didn't play a good game, they had too many turnovers. Both coaches watched the same game, they saw the same things, they got the same conclusions, they told the truth.
True, I recall a depleted Blazers squad with Nate McMillan kicking our asses at home, and Pop's praise for them was non-stop.
I'm surprised the headline on BSPN isn't:
Spurs edge short-handed Bulls despite being outrebounded by 23
Its pretty true, they had a ridiculous amount of turnovers and executed woefully as a result
