PG: Awful gameplan, not prepared, not 1 good performance

[knicksfan974]

I don't think we'll do it but honestly need new coaching blood, feels like Thibs has done the best he could.

Old age coaching is not working. Definitely time for new blood

I wish the Knicks could bring in someone like Tuomas Iisalo, the new HC of the Grizzlies: young, has built all his teams into winners, and has some revolutionary ideas how to run offensive schemes.

hate to say it but Game 5 feels like a blowout

brunson is working like a madman to bring the ball up...we just let Haliburton stroll up to half court...

The only time he looks to relieve him is when Mikal brought it up to feed JB, some stupid idea of getting Brunson going even though the Pacers were probably delighted at that narrow approach

How hard is it to coach KAT to not grab people or get his arms tangled. That’s like a two minute lesson

Don’t put your arms above your waist or shoulders when you’re getting position. Raise them only when you are receiving the ball

That’s too hard?

Nah it’s too much work for Thibs. He has to take Ozempic and dye his beard

[K_ick_God]

Mikal’s turnovers were the laziest and most pointless. Like he’s not even looking and they’re just swing passes, won’t help anybody score

Oh man that guy sucks so badly lol

I feel like Thibs playing him so much is the epitome of stupid — a bad player and a bad coach loves him

Thibs wasn’t responsible for the 17 turnovers that were converted into 20 points by the Pacers.

There the game right there.

lol didn’t know he did this ..

Honestly if you had told me Deuce was only gonna play 14 minutes I’d have said you’re crazy

Seeing as though Mikal and 0g were terrible, it’s even worse.

But that’s the lesson — even if you cannot see any room for the Knicks to blow it and disappoint you, it’s there!

I seriously think Thibs is senile
He just said in the press conference, he played Hart because we needed defense and less turnovers

I say he is partly or mostly to blame yes

Yes and no...after, I don't know, the 2nd Hart reckless turnover he could have went with another guy instead of playing him 20 straight minutes at one point.

The two turnovers coming out of the second half by Brunson and Bridges were ridiculous and simply lazy. Not sure what was going on there.

He was responsible for the inability to play the best defenders when we needed stops
Delon Deuce and Mitch were on the bench
AND he played Shamet over Deuce to close the game when Hart fouled out

Seems to have a lot of anger in him

Which is actually good if you don’t like him — it means he’s miserable basically

We make the dumbest turnovers and we've done this all season. Hart is elite at it I dont understand why theyre so no chalant about passing the ball. Those turnovers killed momentum everytime we started it.

[K_ick_God]

I don’t get how people don’t think turnovers can be coaching

They can be and often are a main sign of a system that is dysfunctional

well...I cant get on the court...so Brunson and the Knicks will have to handle it

[The KnicksFix]

I don’t get how people don’t think turnovers can be coaching

Exactly this
People who say “but he wasn’t out there turning the ball over”

YES, THATS EXACTLY WHY THERE ARE TURNOVERS, THERE ISNT ANY SORT OF ENGINE OR IDEA

[K_ick_God]

Don’t forget that before this game tonight in which Hali played very well:

- Hali came out very hot in G1, we withstood it and built a very good lead when Brunson left, led by KAT and good defense

- Game was over

- Brunson came back and the lead started to disappear

- Coach indisputably gave them back a win with his bad decisions and non-decisions

If you are up 1-0 and took Hali’s best punch early on, you have a big mental edge on Indy and maybe especially Hali

Blew it, almost all bc of Tom and 0g, and now Hali got control of the series tonight

Only after we — Tom and 0g and Brunson too — handed it back to him tho

[K_ick_God]

For those of you talking three in a row, not after what we saw tonight no way.

Brunson again didn’t do a thing to get the ball to KAT, nor did Tom of course.

Brunson has a look of quitting on his face.

Mikal is perpetually quitting. His body language and attention span were a big fat zero.

They thoroughly extinguished the flame, we look like a team waiting to lose and flailing with dumb plays forcing the ball inside the way 0g repeatedly did even though he sucks inside

Thibs’ lineups don’t make sense

It was over after G1 but maybe a very good coach would have been able to change the series

The template was there after G3 but Thibs doesn’t see it, the team doesn’t believe it, and they had a horrible payoffs … the Celtics crap was an aberration

Thibs coaches a horrible series against Detroit — the team
played like absolute crap against Detroit and luckily won G6 by JB taking every shot in the 4th and basically missing all but the last one lol

Terrible basketball and low quality play! Throughout ALL 3 series, even Boston was basically crap in hindsight

Nothing to be proud about in these playoffs at all, I’m sorry
