6. Will Tom Thibodeau be more flexible with his rotations?

This may seem like the same question as number seven, but it’s quite a bit different. As we know, Thibodeau is very rigid with his rotations, consistently subbing the same players in and out around the same time frame of most games.

However, if Thibodeau could ride the hot hand more often, it would benefit his team tremendously.

For example, if Jones is playing well and Teague is struggling, why not ride Jones for the majority of the game? Why put Teague back in at the end of the game despite Jones helping to set the Timberwolves up for success?

Also, if someone like Wiggins or Jamal Crawford is struggling, why not send them to the bench sooner and let someone else have a try?

It’s Thibodeau’s propensity to always get back into his set ways that cause the Timberwolves to become one of the most predictable teams in the NBA.
