Our defense was the laughing stocks of the NBA since Jan when Aaron Wiggins buried wide open, uncontested 3s in Jan and 4 months later the issue was never fixed as the Isaiah Joes, the Malik Beasleys (he could have), the Thomas Bryants shot us out of any title hopes

He's certainly not an offensive coach

So wtf is he doing on the sidelines if he didn't coach us defensively or offensively??????

He only played bench when he was FORCED to (uh everyone's in foul trouble, Delon get in there, uh that's right I used you for a month when Jalen was out and you did decent, how did I never see you all this time on the bench ???)

---

I promise you Thibs defenders or those who said our defense was poor cuz KAT and JB were poor defenders, THEY're gonna be immediately better TEAM (NOT individual) defenders when the coach is a lick more competent than Thibs

Those who said Thibs didn't miss the free throws or commit turnovers, wtf kind of weak sauce is that... Mark Jackson didn't miss free throws or commit silly turnovers for the Warriors, or Doug Collins for the Bulls, or Brad Stevens for the Celtics either but those organizations DID what they FELT needed to be done !!!!

Ah, Michelle Beadle. She used to be the sideline reporter in New Jersey.

Back in the 00s i would have crawled over hot coals.

And that's all I'll say about that because this is a high class board.

But yeah, this is one of the creepiest things I've ever seen.

seems Jay Wright is out. WWW has probably already sent feelers out to Hurley's agent (who is not CAA btw).

College ball doesn't start until early November so Dan has been in his off-season for a while now. He's probably recruiting and all that jazz right now but otherwise this would be a perfect time for him to make a decision. NYK should bring him in for a meeting.


I heavily trust CPs source now so Malone is almost definitely out. Plus now Begley seemed too say that was unlikely too.

this sounds like a bunch of "i have no idea"


He did kinda repeat the Malone stuff seems more media driven.

Obviously its early in the process but you don't fire Thibs also and not have a short list ready. So I don't believe they will "take there time". If they want Bryant they have to act quickly.

Obviously Bryant would prefer here to the potential mess in PHX.

This doesn't mean Kat doesn't get moved for Giannis. That all can still happen. But this shows the franchise is serious about winning. They are not settling for good when they feel the championship is around the corner. This is going to be a big summer. Let's see what happens.

l was saying the starting lineup was bad the whole time but it's hard to argue with the results when we took 2 games off them at home to start the series.

Even he changed his tone late in the season at least as far as accepting the possibility/probability Thibs was going to be fired. But yea he was a die hard defender all season.

I doubt he expected it after going to the ECF though.


He still blames the roster more than anyone in Knicks spaces. Bro goes out of his way to make excuses for Thibs.

Yea he low/high key hates on bridges and Kat but hart can do no wrong.
