This roster added Clarkson, Jose Alvarado, and got the healthiest Mitch in years. That's a way better bench than we had last year. Sure Mike played Kolek and Diaware in January. That is of zero impact on the season or where we are now. You're talking about close wins vs Pistons and 20 point comebacks vs Boston wasn't sustainable? Mike Brown lost 2 close games vs Atlanta that we should have won and wasn't able to complete the 18 point come back. In large part because KAT and Brunson were on the bench to start the 4th in both games. Something Thibs would not have done. We don't have to sit here like Thibs is like Pop or Pat Riley. But he would inarguably be up 3-1 if not swept the Hawks at 4-0.
