We’re going on 5 seasons in a row where we don’t know wth to do against simple stuff like zones


It was always about his ability to coach a team deep into the playoffs which is highly questionable. The minutes issues and his refusal to condition a bench for late season contributions are actually what compounds his issues. But the # 1 issue with him is Thibs puts a ceiling on the team being such a poor situational coach.

His current season average is a career high. Just embarrassing levels of stanning.


I knew it take you a few days for you to find a new reason to want to fire Thibs. It’s an annual tradition of your posting.




:lol:

Yes, a guy getting a non contact injury under a coach that has literally ended careers through overplaying guys is going to be my reason. We said this would happen, it happened, and you're still here stanning. It happened last year, just embarrassing.

The other about being a Knicks fan — we never face a team when they’re struggling

No AD but Lakers playing well and Bron rarely loses at MSG
