150/377 on 3's against in the last 10 while we've only gone 87/253. No wonder we've only won 3 of our last 10.

From Pack Mentality regarding Thibs defense....
"What's most concerning about this is this is very clearly a system problem. The ultimate responsibility for this falls on Thibs. He's the head coach. The defensive system is his. This is not to excuse the players from what has been overall poor effort and, at times, some stupendously poor decision making on defense, but the fact that this has been a season-long problem with no improvement or signs of adjustment points to it being a problem that goes far beyond the roster.
We know Jimmy Butler can defend. We know Taj Gibson can defend. And as I've said before, I refuse to believe Wiggins and Towns are dumber or less capable at this than Jaylen Brown, Jayson Tatum, and Kyrie Irving. I mean, two of those guys are way younger, and the third is a known defensive sieve who believes the Earth is flat. If they can play defense, so can KAT and Andrew.
There have been a lot of signs that Thibodeau has been quietly failing to truly develop Towns and Wiggins. There have been an equal number of loud signs that the modern NBA has passed Thibs by. But as both the head coach and the de-facto general manager, Thibs has no excuse for this. He was the one who chose to downgrade the defense from Ricky Rubio to Jeff Teague. He chose to spend $14 million/year of Dieng, and stock the bench wings with known non-defenders. So it's his responsibility to make something of that."
