Before we move the goalposts. Here is the claim I rejected "he came to a team that had his pieces already". And then you said, the "max" players. Secondly, you say you don't think all-defensive players are a good thing, then continue to praise players for their defensive ability, as if that is the only thing a defensive first coach does, ignoring the "first" part of how Thibs is described, because it is not defense only.
My prior statement stands.
You're really trying to spin this and that's fine. It's the internet on a message board. I know how it goes.
I said Deng, Noah, Asik, Taj etc fit him to the max, yes. "To the max" is a figure of speech. How literal you want to take it is up to you. But at the end of the day, Noah, Asik, Taj, Deng, Brewer, Bogans, Rose, Thomas are all "Thibs type players."
And yes, all defensive players aren't a good thing. Unless they're two way players. However, praising a lot of defensive players on a team coached by a defensive coach, shouldn't be confusing or misconstrued by you. Yes, the defensive pieces we had were a great thing. But we also had guys like Rose (MVP), Boozer, Korver, and Deng who supplied offense.
Who's really moving the goal posts? That roster fit Thibs more than what this roster fits Fred. It's really simple, and that was the original point I made.
