PG: KNICKS vs 76ers - "A Win Is A Win!"

Thibs calls out all of these offensive sets/plays the opponent runs in the post game. Gives them credit for making shots out of these plays. Why doesn't he use any of these things to get shots for his team? Why can't his defense stop these recognizable plays?

It had to go down to the difference in clutchness between Cap and Maxey for us to get the W.

We haven’t played one good game since the ASB.

If Sixers fire Nick Nurse do we go after him in the offseason?

But I heard he's actually Thibs lite, he also grinds his starters into the ground lmao

Hart wasn't his normal self

Not sure if the team was just coasting because Sixers sucks but man even when we were up 19 there was no juice.

Not surprising the offense got stagnant late but Brunson bailed us out.

Hart knee still and issue
OG limping around
KAT banged up

I've hated this season, just no camaraderie whatsoever... while its not players don't like each other, they have no real chemistry on and off the court (other than boring ass roommates pod)... but it all could be because collectively they no longer trust they can go far in the playoffs with Thibs as the coach

There are actually a couple players that I wonder if they don’t like each other

Why is Grimes still so passive, dude starts and takes only 4 shots with no Embiid there

This is proof that ANYTHING can happen in the NBA and that sometimes we KNICKS fans worry too much!

We wouldn't worry if we weren't 0-7 against the top 3 contenders in blow out losses.

Thibs has become the energy vampire..

literally sucks everything from these players. no scheme, no joy, literally their talent is dragging thibs to a 38-20 record. this team is so much more talented than their record its crazy.

Mikal I think is just real tired of the disrespect. The dude is definitely trying on the defensive end while leading the team in MPG. I think the fans want him to be a prolific scorer like he was on the Nets but his role is a lot different on this team and we can't really expect that. I want him desperately to be our third 20 pt scorer but you can see he paces himself a lot during games to keep up his stamina. Thibs is really riding his a$$ and he's trying his hardest to find a happy medium.

Grimes sees Thibs and has flashbacks. He doesn't wanna F up or he will be benched.

Maybe he wanted the ball more down the stretch since he scored 19 pts in the 1st quarter

He still does his goofy handshakes with all the players pregame. He does looks pretty relaxed then. Maybe if Thibs wasn't riding him so hard and the fans werent $hitting on him every game he would have more fun.

After he dropped 40 on Xmas he was all smiles. Honestly I dont think its even basketball related, Dude looked like his mind was elsewhere...like one of his side peices is trying to extort him or something. :wink:

Looks like Quentikina only played 21 mins with an empty stat line while Justin Edwards off the bench played 28 minutes. Very happy for Justin. Jerry West is the worst.

I think rational fans just want him to be better defensively. Thibs definitely isn't helping him though
