Fans unleashing frustration. Cuban uncomfortable as hell. But he has to shoulder some responsibility he sold the team to terrible owners.
Im just glad that this isn't our chaos.

That summer was so bad.

It was such a wasted summer, but not even the FO knew then Thibs would just flat out refuse to play guys. Kemba I get but what Thibs did with Fournier was just unforeseeable because most coaches wouldn't be that blatant not playing a guy who can still play.

Ehhhhhhhh...
Knicks were outright horrible with him on the court. It's in the numbers. He was like basketball valium.
I love Kemba but he was beyond washed and medical/actual paid basketball professional management should have caught that.

kemba gave us an xmas win over trae without disrupting our cap space or our locker room so i don't sweat that one too much
but acquiring both him and fournier was very similar to what leon did this summer, talent and career primes aside, in that it softened the edge of the team. that's tom's superpower, like we saw last postseason as the wheels were falling off the roster. without that edge, all his shortcomings as a coach are exposed. thibodeau teams win by exerting their will over their opponents, which i happen to enjoy, but can admit is not x's and o's or strategy. for how close and committed leon's supposed to be to thibs, you think he'd cater to his style of play more

Fournier played 80 games that year.... Thibs stuck with him until December the following year when he yanked him from the rotation

Im sure the league loves it. It creates dramatics and a major market landed one of the best players.
But you're not wrong. That franchise is an embarrassment. Im just glad it isn't ours.

And through the slandering of a knicks legend. This place is despicable.
