i honestly dont think thibs goes anywhere. even if we get blown out 4 times straight. unless leon knows more than we do. a la spo wants to come (which i doubt) or any coach we are not thinking of right now. leon is not gonna hire a random guy and prays that it works. he has shown time and time again hes about relationships. so hes gonna hire someone that he knows, where he knows its the right coach for the team. malone for example is not gonna be a knicks coach under leon rose.

i know yall hate thibs by now and im not opposed of letting him walk either. hes an above average coach and hes got the team behind him (which is a luxury not all teams have). we are not gonna fire him without having a solid plan first. thats what i believe

He knows Johnnie Bryant

yea i could see something like that happening. its still a risk tho

Let me ask this real quick, if the refs continue to call ugly ass games does that benefit the Celtics or us? Personally I think that would help us a bit to muck it up so I expect the league to be ready on the whistle to really **** us over lol. Something tells me we aren’t going to “let them play” if Tatum gets in the paint.

Doesn't matter really.

[HopelessKnick]

Mikal apology forms gonna burn out the printer

11-16. They know where to find it in their files though, we’ve been there before.

In all honesty mikal needs to find some sort of consistency before we start throwing flowers at his ass. I want mikal to be great but he has too many games where it looks like he’d rather be anywhere else. I do think this game and their trash talk woke him up though so I’m rooting for him to prove himself next series.

Initially after the trade I tried to get behind it and repeatedly refrained from any criticism and asked everyone to be patient with him and everything. But in all honesty, he has been extremely underwhelming. I think part of it just purely mental/yips type of thing. He has essentially lost his 3 point shooting ability from anywhere other than the corners. I like his personality and I like he spoke up against Thibs and give him lots of credit for it, but his game overall has been very unimpressive. We overpaid by 3-4 picks.

Maybe it is just a fit thing and he can be much better somewhere else I don't know. He will likely be here next season but I really don't believe he is going to be a longtime knick.

Can you elaborate please?

[HopelessKnick]

Can we get a , should Thibs be fired poll. I’m curious to see the general sentiment

This needs to be a discussion, maybe not now but we are gonna have to talk about if he's coaching this team to success or did they advance in spite of him.

If someone tells me Team A vs. Team B in a playoff series and Team A has 5 out of the best 6 players of both teams in that series I'd expect a sweep or gentleman's sweep and a couple convincing wins. So I think the answer to your question is pretty obvious. Bickerstaff completely outcoached Thibs but the talent gap was too big so the players overcame it.

At the end of the day, Mikal indeed played 44 minutes.

I'm of the opinion that this team under Thibs is vastly underperforming. The Celtics have the better starting 5, vastly better bench and the better coach. They are the clearly superior team so it won't come down to how the refs call the games. It may make the difference between us losing by an average margin of 12 vs. 17points or so but it won't make any difference in the outcome of the series. It will be Celtics in 4 or 5. I think we'll snatch a win somewhere and have another close game in the series but you'll see a couple blowouts/comfortable wins by the Celtics to round it of.

[HarthorneWingo]

We held Cade, TOBIAS HARRIS, and THJ to a combined 2-17 FG from 3.

[Ravenxvirall]

Going beyond the previous poster. Giving us Tony brothers in a close out game was pretty diabolical. I’m not sure why the league loves this dude so much he needs eye surgery in the worst way but the league keeps throwing him into big games like he does something. Hell you can see his face up close on most of them and his eyes look swole and lazy.

Sounds like you don’t know who brothers is lol

They nailed it regarding JB iso

26:22

Mahoney: "you can see in this series, it's SO CLEAR that the Knicks just do not trust basically anything other than a Jalen Brunson iso... maybe a pick and roll if you're lucky, but so much of their offense is geared around Jalen having to create every inch of space against defenders. I don't get it. I get it from the sense that Jalen Brunson is an unbelievable iso scorer, I don't get it in the sense that you just traded for KAT in the offseason, you just traded for Mikal in the offseason, and some of those guys are good at kinda creating movement within stale sets but it really DOESN'T TAKE MUCH of a nudge from the defense to push the Knicks into just iso iso iso iso repeatedly in a way that is frankly SELF DESTRUCTIVE"

Bill: "You know who eats that up for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, it's the Celtics, if you just can do the same thing over and over again, they couldn't be more delighted. I mean Brunson had 33 shots tonight and 8 free throws, 33 shots is... for a non-overtime game is kinda bonkers, and I just don't feel... for the whole year, I never felt like they've, it feels like SOMEBODY IS ALWAYS LOSING WHEN SOMEBODY ELSE IS WINNING ON THIS TEAM, it's almost like a zero sum game, Brunson gets 33 shots so that means Towns has to have a **** game basically... 33 shots is **** that's like crazy number, I know he made 15 of them, but not sustainable vs Celtics"

Do we have any stats on Tony Brothers like someone else posted here before about Ray Acosta?

Beasley is going to be cleaning out his locker in a few hours. Too funny

[MrDollarBills]

Each win we SQUEEKED by DETROIT with much less talent. We rely on ISO from Bunson.
Thibs on notice. If we can make a series with the Celtics, the FO won’t fire their friend Thibs.
I just don’t see Thibs raising his game suddenly.

… Go Thibs!
