Unpopular opinion among a negative fanbase but Thibs deserves another year with this team.

Another year with this team together will build the chemistry and continuity, the worst thing the FO could do is make a rash trade or firing.

Tbh I really don't hold much regard for +/- for the guy who's playing most of every game when we have lost so many games obviously the guy playing like 45mpg is gonna have a bad +/-

When we win games it's by like 2 points when we lost it's like 6+ so

How quick we are to forget that Mikal got us four of the Knicks' biggest wins in 25 years.

It's the coach. Period.
I dont want to trade for Giannis and I want to keep our main guys. Bring is a great mind and lets see how they play. We have too much talent
to just hand the ball to the players and let them play.

1. Replace Thibs with Dan Hurley (or Mike Malone)
2. Extend Mitch Robinson
3. Trade KAT, Hart, and pick(s) for Giannis and Portis
4. Extend Mikal Bridges
5. Sign Chris Paul to one-year Tax MLE
6. Sign Delon Wright to vet min deal
7. Sign Landry Shamet to vet min deal

Legit question. Is this NBA caliber coaching? I think I've heard my daughters elementary school coach have better insight.

I promise if he's back next year, I'm won't even bother.

I think a lot of people will be joining you HerSports. To make it this far we should all be ecstatic. First ECF in 25 years. And yet it just feels empty. Weird.

One last thought - Despite going away from things that worked in G3 and the first half, I had a brief glimmer of hope in the 4th when KAT pulled off a few plays in a row where he either got inside or got fouled. I have no idea why we didn't just spam that action until they stopped it. We do that all the time with KAT and it makes no sense. He's an offensive weapon. Empty the full clip and let it click a few times before trying something else.

His defense was actually pretty good tonight too.



On Coaching - I'd like to give Taylor Jenkins or even Sam Cassell a whirl.

His knee got hurt pretty bad

He was trying to do his best impression of Willis Reed playing on one leg

But some ppl will never see things … he doesn’t think anything but that Brunson is their best player and Mitch is a great defender

The rest, he’s not seeing it. Remember what I said — powerful and wealthy people can’t see things normally

Mitch didn't even play in the 4th smh

Thibs was far from perfect tonight, but does anyone think the knicks would win a road playoff game with how poorly, Bridges, hart, brunson, deuce and Mitch were tonight? The team played a very poor game tonight, especially on defense. They lost this series by Blowing game 1. Just keep this in mind, whomever is coaching next season figuring out how brunson or kat fan defend and or for Leon to decide if kAt needs to go

It has almost reached a point wherein I believe that Thibs or Rick Brunson does not want KAT to be the one to win ECF MVP.

I’m sorry.

I 100% recognize this. My issue is with Thibs not recognizing when a player just doesn't have for a game and he doesn't sit him. A great head coach needs to recognize that and have the balls to put someone else in. It's nothing personal and it's simply about doing what's best for the team that game.

CP is a Thibs apologist, but he's not on tonight and the other 2 co-hosts are going at Thibs along with the callers.

This is for the entire playoffs and considering we are in the conference finals and after tonight 9-7 in the playoffs you’d think the guy playing most would be positive, not the most deeply negative player on the list and nearly twice as bad as the next on the list

Thibs knew that was going to happen

The team didn’t know but he did

We should've just wait 22 secs and take a shot and indy would've had no chance. That was an easy win. It's almost like that stupid miracle luka game scoring like 60 and that stupid loss. Why this always happens to us
