I think it's more of a Thibs thing than Brunson.... but Brunson willingly doing it doesnt help


The ball movement was much better while Brunson was out



It was.... I actually just wrote in the Knicks forum thread that if things dont change with a different coach then we need to start looking at Brunson because he is limiting this team with his style of play under Thibs and the next coach... we'll

Despite all the criticism, Brunson has 29 points despite clearly not physically right at all.

I don't like his flopping either but he literally is trying to will the Knicks to victory. Deserves a better bench and maybe coach as well

Do NY fans think that this team is better than last year's team?

Do most Knicks fan think the moves they made in the off season were worth it or would they rather have last years team with Donte and Hartenstein ?

With CP3 and Trae out of the playoffs, Brunson truly is giving Harden a run for his money for the GOAT flopper.

Maybe. We have more talent but don't have the same ooomph. Maybe a mismatch coach situation too having more of a finesse team.

We lost a lot with iHart leaving.

Up with 8 with 5 and a half to go, I give them less than Pistons a 20 percent chance of winning.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

Knicks need a big momentum swing play for that rally they made last game.

If they are a top team in the east, what does that make Cleveland and Boston? Because there’s a wide gap between the Knicks and those two. It’s not close.

I'm okay with the moves, obviously we paid heavy for Mikal but I dont mind the KAT trade... but we need a new coach, a coach that will maximize the talent and skills on this team, not an iso heavy non 3 shooting coach
