Pretty much this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Fire thibs Folkssssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He would be on the hot seat anywhere else, the national media finally sees it with him, took long enough, but they're going to be scrutinizing his coaching more now. So the Thibs defenders will need to shield him from all sides now, it wont be just Knick fans going at him now.


It's almost to the finish line

a pnr is not some complicated offensive scheme. jalen calls for picks sometimes and sometimes he doesn't, he reads the defense and decides what he wants to do. their guys do the same thing. jalen just happens to call his own number more because he's not the creator for others that luka or lebron are. he's also short. they can see the court better because they're not.

It’s getting ridiculous around here

yeah, people need to stop with this draw up a play at the end of games stuff. everybody is relying on their best players ability to create for themselves in that spot. that's the nba. motherf*ckers on here act like this is a movie from the 80s where, in some small midwestern town, the lesser talented guys with gumption play as a team and win against a team of uber-athletes who play for themselves. this aint hoosiers bitches. grow up.

I heard that a 'modern coach' would have us beating all those teams whatever that new meme means. Its a coincidence that the coaches they want have the best players.

JJ Redick: Give the ball to Lebron or Luka and have them make a play
Knicks fans: wow he's such a genius modern NBA coach

Yeah, Lakers run a bunch of isos with guys standing around watching Luka and LeBron go your turn my turn. They don’t have some genius offense or genius coach, they just have guys who can do this

wtf are you talking about bro?? The lakers are running a very sophisticated offense that involves extreme ball movement on every single possession. That video must be A.I

[Reign23]

Trade KAT and Mikal for KD and Ryan Dunn

would be Chanels dream!

[sol537]

A 1st round exit is not out of the question at this point. What a nice little bow to the end of Thibs' coaching career that would be...

Here's a novel idea. If Brunson struggles because of his height have someone else run PnR. Hart can finish at the rim and he's taller. Bridges can shoot the mid range and he's taller. KAT can get to the rim as the ball handler and see o er everyone in the league basically. Why are they standing in the corner or refusing to shoot open threes on the perimeter and looking to pass? What's their role in all of this? We run ISO centric offense through Brunson that hunts and pecks for whatever they can find. They don't really do much else. Some Nova sets that work once in a while?

I know you probably didn't watch the games when you were locked up but, there's no rhyme to the reason on offense around here. We spent all year waiting for Mitch to come back just to see our vaunted defense take shape,

Funny, you made bail at the same time he did. Hmmm.

Yeah, I don’t buy that he’s become the player he was before the Nets. He was more aggressive with the Suns than he is now. Not sure what his deal is or if the Knicks need to work to get him involved. It’s not something Thibs is usually interested in, which is why Grimes was traded and Donte became the starter. The players have to take the initiative in his offense.

Just checked, he averaged 22.1ppg per 36 in the clutch with the Wolves last season, Edwards averaged 27.9ppg. He's down to 11.3ppg with us, and that led me to curiosity about Bridges.


Mikal was 27.9ppg PER 36 in the clutch last season with the Nets, on 49.4% from the field, that was in 32 games. He's at 6.6ppg with us. What a shocker, both guys are way down from the previous season.

The PnR one is the most egregious, because we have a stretch 5 that doesn't even take 3s off a screen. You'd think someone would look at Mikal and say he and KAT should run some PnR action, but nope, never happens. If Brunson and KAT aren't going to do it, then try it with Mikal.


We're 22nd in ORTG over the last 10 games, 22nd.

he's not pulling the plug on his moves after one year...first it will be the coach that goes...then if it still doesn't work then there will be player moves.

thats just how it always works out.

We dropped from #2 to #5 in that stretch.

I really can't see Jalen being back in less than a month. We could be looking at the 6 seed come playoffs. We can't possibly fall any lower unless we lose 10 more games than MIA in our last 20.

Things just got very interesting around here in a bad way.

He took a risk but unfortunately the moves backfired. We just gotta move these guys for the next superstar that becomes available. This is a stars league. Brunson needs help badly.
