That’s a real coach folksssssssss!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


I like Kenny, him being a fellow New Yorker but the guy has never even won a playoff series as a head coach. Talk to me when he at least makes it to the second round.

He never had a good roster to do so. He only coached BK A few years and that was it.

Taking a roster to the playoffs with D'Angelo Russell as your best player is an incredible feat of coaching.

That roster had no business in the playoffs..much less even winning a single game against that star-studded Sixers team :rofl:

Thibs is doing to our team what Inzaghi did to my Inter... playing the same 11 95% of the matches even in the most unimportant ones... Either he reflects or lets pray sooner he get canned the better for our core and our chances for a ring after half a century drought!

Sims / Hukporti
Anunoby / Achiuwa
Bridges / Warren (Dadiet)
Hart / Shamet
Brunson / Kolek

anything less than a 10 man rotation he needs to get deported from the States!...

3 point shooting percentages on both ends and second halves breakdowns are the real scan for discovering the actual diseases!!

Lets get this one or tank for Thibs axe!! SALUT!

Dear Leon, save us from the Doomsday Duo, Tom&Rick... Hire at least someone to keep them on check!! We miss you Johnny!!

The historic record winning streak starts here... but lets hope the injuries will not pile up like last season! #KnicksTape


But who are we playing? This is supposed to be the game thread seriously? And what the heck is Inter?


Toronto Raptors

Inter Milan, the Serie A soccer team, the defending champion…

Houston has nothing to trade for Sims unless we add a rookie to the trade. They are an apron team so we can't trade him into cap space for a pick. Tari Eason? Cam Whitmore? What are they looking to trade?

RJ and Quickley are going to combine for 80 points while OG will be out there making Charles Oakley look like Michael Jordan.

Knicks burned all these assets for the Brass Treadmill

OG scored 31 last time in Toronto in just 34 minutes.

Looking back at that boxscore it looks like a good formula - Bridges played 41 minutes, no one else over 40, KAT and OG 31 pts each, JB just 12 but 7 assists, Payne 19 off the bench in 15 minutes, and Deuce 12 in 25 minutes. Precious 22 minutes.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

OG sucks when there aren't great players around him. He's a glorified role player. It's great if everyone is healthy. Once even one player is out, he gets completely exposed. Nice value for 40 million.

We need Deuce and Mitch back or everyone will be playing near 40 or more every night. I will be surprised if Thibs makes any attempt to curb KATs minutes if he plays.

We need Brunson to get out of his funk. He's been playing with a bum leg for weeks and it is showing. OG as well. His offense has been weak for the most part the last month. The entire team forgot how to shoot 3s.

I have to hope Thibs really isn't this stubborn. He has to hear the chatter that teams are planning to attack the Knicks in the 2nd half because they know they will be tired. Right? I mean, really. He can't keep doing what he's been doing. IDGAF if they lose a few but, not because they are predictable and stupid! I would rather lose because Thibs gave the kids some run and it didn't work out than be run off the court because he played his starters 40+ minutes. With teams openly planning to exploit that.

Walt... are you torn right now or do you want the Knicks to win?

awful coaching hasn't made a video on the knicks during the entire losing streak because it would be too long
