Pretty impressive considering Wikal showed up for a handful of these games.

Yep meaning there’s still potential upside. We had a few 15 point first quarter stinkbombs mixed in there

Nice to know we're better than the rest even when we're not at our best.

“Thibs doesn’t know how to run an offense” apology sign up form. I will hereby respect Thibs and will NOT talk down on the future first ballot hall of fame coach

The number one rated offense when they have like 20th rated offense in the 4th quarter (and the worst net rating in the 4th) is pretty wild.

worst NET rating in the 4th qtr...that needs to be addressed.
Thibs is a fine coach. You or I could coach a good offensive team that was led by two generational offensive talents like JB and KAT.

No we couldn’t but this is what Knicks fans really think though. We could all be great coaches
A lot of games haven’t been competitive by the end. We lost the 4th quarter to the Magic 31-15 but what did that really mean for us at the end of the day? So I don’t put much stock in that

1 game isn't going to SKU a 4th qtr results. You probably dont' want to admit why the 4th qtr looks worse than any other qtr which is fine. But its still an issue. Hopefully precious at least coming back giving some guys more rest throughout the game will also help the 4th qtr.
You are over complicating basketball. The knicks run a handful of sets its a players league not a coaches league. I would say nearly 90% of coaches are interchangable.
I like that the players respect thibs and he is very prepared for games. But saying our #1 ranked offense is due to him is wild talk. Its because of Brunson and KAT duo.
Sixers have the 3rd worst offense this year...They had the 3rd best offense a couple years ago. Same coach. Just Sixers are injured this year.

But I read from KnicksFix, Christ, KnicksGMen, FN11, Najeem, Nodope, guano and buzz that Thibs sucks,can't coach a modern day NBA offense, hates and can't develop young players and should be fired.

That probably won't help the offensive rating.
Probably will improve the defensive rating and hopefully we stay up top offensively.
Try to get into top 5 of NET rating.

Either Giannis, Booker or Mikal or run it back.

I already admitted I was very wrong about KAT.

They were both playing here earlier in the season when people were saying the offense sucks because of Thibs
Basically if we struggle it’s all Thibs and if we are the #1 offense it’s nothing to do with him and anybody cold have done this. There is no room for him to receive credit in the Knicks fandom
