GT: New York Knicks @ Dallas Mavericks (Wed, 7:30PM)

They just let Kyrie waltz to the rim to finish the half.

Knicks have no answers for the Mavs defensive scheme and yet the Mavs are scoring effortlessly vs the Knicks' defensive scheme.

Embarrassing.

We let the ref not giving us a whistle and missing shots get to us. Theres no focus. Dallas just playing with more energy. I could hit a 3 with the space they giving on defense. I don’t get it. I just don’t get it.

I’m going to take a shower in order to get the stench of the first half off me. I suggest y’all do the same.

I guess not defending the 3 is giving up dunks!

You're an unserious person.

This coach ain’t it… this team ain’t it. KAT and Brunson won’t work. Can’t have two sieves on defense.

30+ point loss incoming, if they don’t get it together at the half.

I’ve been saying this for years. We can’t win a ring with this guy.

send a **** message

Not watching, just reading but yeah same thought — only thing Thibs can do now is make a statement and concede the game

Best game ever followed by worst game ever. Thibs led team at its finest. Can’t even get same defensive effort. We lose both player movement and defense in the same game.

This dumbass coach sees we need energy. Instead of playing sims why not give Hukporti some burn

Not good enough defensively to come back after one bad offensive quarter…man I really hope Mitch is the solution cause it feels like we’re a high variance team at this point

OG has nothing and thibs smart ass decided to play him 20 mins in the 1st half

I mean he is such an unserious coach its not funny

He burned them out in Denver. Chump

Gotta get to 10 guys he trust before we see fresh legs. What a time. Mikal getting Randle minutes. Quarter and a half until OG come back in. **** is getting annoying.

Need to find the next Ime or Daigneault

We still worshiping Thibs?

MrDollarBills · Post #459 » by **MrDollarBills** » Thu Nov 28, 2024 1:46 am

Again, look at the minutes distribution for the Knicks core and the minutes for the Cavs' core.

It's not like the Cavs have all stars on their bench yet they find ways to rest their guys. Thibs needs to start trusting guys and giving them a chance because at this rate by April it's gonna be bad.

This is what I've been thinking too.

Thibs is running these guys into the dirt. It's going to cap this teams ceiling

Absolutely this is directly attributable to Thibs

You don't get collectively gassed teams like this early in the season if their minutes are managed

Thibs doesn't seem to have any logical basis for his rotations, keeping starters in at the end of a blowout (at altitude).

Will he stubbornly keep them in the game now and burn them out further? Stay tuned

Our ceiling is Thibs, not our talent level. I'm 100% behind this idea at this point.

It is too early in the season to see a whole team with dead legs. OG can barely move. It's absurd.
