Pacome cant shoot, defend or make plays. He is passive too.

He can drive and finalize well. But i dont know if he is fast and strong enough to replicate that skill in NBA.

I don’t think these guys got coached which low-key maybe isn’t a surprise considering all the chaos going on. Brown doesn’t have a staff and these guys are carryovers

I don't disagree. But it's inexcusable. For a team starved for depth, we can't make the effort to coach our team in their audition where every team evaluates their depth.

Lol Thibs TOOK us to ECF he didn't DO ****

All of the coaches before Thibs in the 25 years didn't have LEON making moves and getting stars on the team... give this roster to Horny, Fisher, Fiz, Woody, Pringles, Herb, Brown, more than 50% of them would've got more than 51 wins than Thibs managed this past season

Also, you gave Thibs the pre-Leon **** rosters these ex Knicks coaches had and we would;ve been the bottom 3-5 teams every year consistently

We had months since Jan when Aaron Wiggins buried wide open 3s to address the poor transition defense that led to wide open 3s and wide open lane in the paint, esp vs the top teams and we still had the same problems (then a couple of months later Isaiah Joe had his wide open 3s at The Garden) all the way to playoffs when (like Deuce said) our poor defense was exposed by the Pacers

Thibs was supposed to be a defensive coach but our 3 pt defense (IN THIS 3 PT ERA) was DEAD LAST in the L

He's never an offensive coach SO WHAT DID HE DO FOR US EXACXTLY??

He TOOK us?? More like Leon and the players TOOK him to ECF

Oh look, other teams didn't immediately fire their ass coaches to immediately hire "Hall of Fame Coach" Thibs it's for a damn reason lololol

I just got finished watching the 1st quarter. Very impressive. We actually played worse than we did in Friday’s 1st quarter.

The Brown staff is having an immediate impact on this squad!

Ironically the reason they looked better last season and we wanted to see more is because Thibs is good at developing young players.

Need me to remind Jalen Brunson's SL numbers?

It's all overreacting over summer league games again.

Hope Baba get more minutes to prove his worth though.

There's absolutely no reason for a SL thread to be a referendum on the previous coach.

This is derailing and if it continues, both this thread and the offending posters will be cleaned out.

This will be reopened in 10 minutes to give all of you some time to find your sanity.

He can drive and finalize well. But i dont know if he is fast and strong enough to replicate that skill in NBA.


He was always gonna be a longterm project.

Not sure how anyone could look good against the Boston junior rugby team.

Kolek’s decision making has been pretty lousy these first two games. I don’t think that has anything to do with the rough play. He needs to be better or else we’re going sign Smart or Brogdan to take his place.

Agree. But until then he is costing us a roster spot.
