Moot points.
Not being in Thibodeau shape?
Strike One.
Injuring his knee and being unavalable.
Strike Two.
Thibs had no confidence to put him into a game, and was thin, Thin, THIN at PF-C, with Noels and Toppin recovering.
STRIKE THREE.
Taj connection to Thibs. A strong connection.
A Tyson Chandler connection to Assistant Mike Woodson.
Ty is 38.
Taj is 35, has the vestigial remnants of an offensive game, gives us coverage at the 4 & 5, and counts as a mentor to both Mitchell and Obi.
Sorry, Omari, we hardly knew ye.
