I knew at halftime that Boston was gonna counter and it was up to Thibs to keep the chess match going. Thibs pretty much laid down his queen in the 4th and surrendered the king in OT. Not one strategic move while Mazzula led with one substitution after the next, even keeping KP fresh till the last 2 minutes of OT, Out coached Thibs and ran circles around him. This has turned out to be pretty much the story against good teams so really nothing to see here. Thibs is a failure of a coach when it really matters.
