Hey, you know, there's a guy who was a really good defensive assistant for an east coast team, a team that won the championship. That guy was recently coaching and even had some of the guys who were assistants on that eastern championship team on his last team. Let's hire that guy.
Since bringing in ex Coaches who coach good defense also were assistant coaches.


Guess who it is

I give up, who is it?


Lol. Thibs.

Never heard of him, is he some sort of French?

Just find out which coaches that's on CAA's payroll... and weed out the rest. Then that's who will be the next HC of the Knicks

I didn't want to say this but when Brunson had to tell Tom to take the starters out during Game 6 versus Boston...that looked very odd, like he wasn't present in the moment.

As someone who is caring for two aging parents...that really bothered me.

I can’t see him coaching again just due to health alone… your right….he didn’t look right through playoffs….and I have no idea what or if he has health issues…the optics didn’t look good


Added with the stress that he might have known that he was coaching for his job....man :noway:

I don't want to speculate baselessly but that moment was just so off that I had to wonder if Tom is actually okay.

I was calling for Thibs' head in the end but it really doesn't feel good. Wish he could've been the guy to get us a chip. A lot of gratitude for him but ultimately this is the right move

As a UConn and Knicks fan, I’m torn. Not sure how Hurley would play in NY and I don’t want to see him leave UCONN.

dont feel bad...its what we do as humans...we all get in our way of success because we get stuck in our belief systems. Thibs couldnt see
outside of his box- so he had to go.

Hurley?


So, it's a "Don Leon" kind of thing, so Leon landed the big fish?

Sounds like Wright or Hurley....not feeling college coaches though.

Yes. Macri, that's my nickname for him. You can LITERALLY TASTE THE SALT through the audio.


I don’t even know how he blew up; dood rambles on and on with the same bs and has 3 hour long podcasts based off emotion


Listen, I like some of the other KFS guys (Shawn, Mensa, Jeff, Cohen, and Claudio) but I find Macri to be very biased and vindictive to players and has his own agenda. He picks players that he hates (RJ in the past and this year it was KAT and Mikal) to defend that agenda. I bask in his misery that Thibs is gone. You can hear the SALT in his voice. He doesn't want to hold an L for defending him.

This account sucks.

It’s bull farming for clicks.

They know jack ****.

They post ‘something big is coming’ and hope something breaks to act like they have sources.

The Green Arrow of Twitter accounts!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you, Rick Brunson.
