Putting Snell in the starting lineup is troubling......it seems reactionary. I've been fine with Hoiberg's roster moves up until this point, but this seems like a flinch.
Hoiberg is certainly the anti-Thibs when it comes to altering rotations and starting lineups. Tough loss. Butler with 0 trips to the line? 4 points? Superstars don't tend to do that. McDermott sucked. I hope the "Thibs was holding him back" narrative is finally put the in the trash bin where it belongs. Niko was also awful last night. Hoiball has not been kind to him. Ah, life in the NBA middle. Just imagine next year when Gasol is likely gone.
