McBride looked completely lost in the Detroit series, but something clicked for him in this series. This is the guy that we had the utmost confidence in last season. Hope it’s a sign of things to come.

He’s still young.

The playoff Knicks are a different team than the regular season Knicks.

They have both been key figures in the franchise's resurgence.

We're not where we are today without Thibs.

I don't think he's perfect, and I certainly don't agree with all of his decisions, including tonight when he left the starters in the game.

But he has done an exceptional job coaching the Knicks overall. He's a Knick legend.

I think some criticism is fair, but I wish we weren't so quick to advocate firing him. He's an integral part of the fabric and the history of this franchise.


I always said ECF or bust for him. And here we are.

FOUR MORE YEARS! FOUR MORE YEARS!

It will only be a dream for me if this team goes further than where Ewing took them.

I was awoken at 5 am by a thunderstorm. I decided to lay in bed and watch Knicks content for 3 hours.

He's an integral part of the fabric and the history? We haven't won a title in 52 years!! :lol: Thibs was an asst the last time we made the finals 26 years ago. We lost that series. The fabric and history of this team is two early 70s championships. That's it. Some fierce playoff battles that ended up going nowhere in the 90s Two finals losses. That's what he's not even an integral part of until now.

He is an integral part of the last 5 years. The resurgence. I'll give him that like I always have. The criticism is well deserved. The credit is due though. He raised the floor here and he has gotten further than any HC since JVG. That's his history here. I applaud him with the rest of the team. I'm not jumping off a bridge though because the players deserve ALL of the credit for what just happened against Boston. Thibs and the team have been lackluster during these playoffs until game 4 and especially last night. We had no business being up 2-0. That coaching was horrible.

Leon though, masterclass in rebuilding in New York!! Flowers all day!!

Remember the last time the Knicks beat Boston in the playoffs. They had to blow up their team, making a trade that made the current Celtics, destroying Brooklyn's future in the meantime. And now they beat tbis Celtics, who might just have to blow it up again. Nice circle.

History is history even when it’s a history of losing. Knicks fans will remember all of these eras one way or the other. The 2020s will be an era we should be able to remember fondly

Congratulations NY Knicks, on defeating the defending champs in grand style, and moving up to challenge for the championship. I was watching the NBA the last time you won it all (1973) and it's time for another! NY fans have had to wait and live through some pretty bad times. Bad owner, bad GM, you know who they are. It makes it even sweeter when persevere against all odds!

Im running off a few hours sleep, too much caffeine, and a knicks high.

I'm ready to fight gods or become one!
