Re: Breaking: Tom Fired
In the evaluation the players reportedly led Thibs out of the door. But Brunson didn’t take a stand for Thibs.

What they think doesn't matter.
i think a lot of them find it sudden and unfair at face value, which i can understand.
but they nor we know what was said behind those closed doors. all i can do is wait and see if we do better.
but the chatter never matters. agree or not.
Monica McNutt kept it real. On ESPN today, she explained it from the perspective that the team had outgrown Thibs.
i caught that. it was the one “it might have been time take.” i saw SAS, mad dog, perk, my old classmate kimberley… all kinda pissed about it. and I get it.
I saw jason williams dump on thibs too. but I was kinda surprise that the majority weren’t dancing on his grave. been in here too long. didn’t realize how big a nation it was out there.
RIP magnumt
thanks for everything, thibs.

Well, lord knows KAT was. Mikal too.
I don't think OG is a big Thibs guy either...he was one of the players complaining about his role.
I think its pretty sure Mikal, KAT, and OG weren't big Thibs guys.

It'd be a little sad if Mitch wasn't. I think Thibs really helped him.
Deuce... said what he said.

Re: Breaking: Tom Fired
I'm still not ruling out Malone or Jay Wright until it comes straight from them. Coaches never ever want to make it appear they were aiming for someone else's job.

Re: Breaking: Tom Fired
There was a physical altercation with a player not named 2 years ago. Likely Randle.

i mean, that’s leadership. if he heard his team and they think thibs is hurting them or less than ideal or whatever, it’s big and appropriate of jalen to receive and respect that.
he’s a captain to the whole and not just himself.
guardly.

makes sense they aren't interesting in late 30 year olds....they want a 3-5 year window.

Re: Breaking: Tom Fired
So all the hoopla and innuendo was over Jason Kidd.
These dudes come across like scared bumbling idiots. Their source got them on eggshells.
