PG: Knicks vs. Thunder: BELT-TO-ASS GAME

[kNicksGmen]

Team could be the 2nd seed right now if they didn't suck

[god shammgod]

y'all better hope firing the coach works because they're all out of moves besides that

[Jalen Bluntson]

Man. It sucks being right while green aasbone is always wrong.


Thibs sucks. He has reached his peak. Time to move on,

thibs require a certain player roster type to succeed. I dont think this is a thibs squad. We may need a different type of coach for this level of talent in the team, or they are just wasting pick capital just to be a first round exit

Thibs sucks. Period. He has been out coached all year. He sucks. There's not a bad idea he hasn't come up with. When the opponent knows everything you're gonna do you can't win.

[Context]

Team was clearly ass as well tonight.

It’s okay to admit everyone $hit the bed tonight

This is on Thibs.

Everything can’t just be on the coach when things go bad and everything the players when things go right.

OKC played a zone all game. We hit 4 threes all game, you can’t bust a zone hitting 4 threes all game. The team was ass, no ball movement what’s so ever.

Defensively terrible game plan, we should have been switching on the defense. No effort defensively either way and they exploited the paint. Thibs ass, team ass.

Y'all complained Thibs under played the bench last week, he plays the bench and they let Joe get confidence and blow open the already poor start the starters gave. Again team was ass.

Thibs doesnt have the personal to play his style for 82 games. They didnt just play zone. They mixed it up. They played man to man and they ran plays to get guys open. They double teamed our key guys. They deliberatly drove on us. What did Thibs do different from the coaches view than the last game? nothing EZ. What did he do different in the second half? Nothing bro.... I just got here last december. I've never called for his head. I think I'm about 80 watched games in and today - I am calling for us to move on. Players playing bad is one thing BUT this is about the BIG picture. Thibs is a stubborn dinosour. He will not evolve and thats why the Knicks need to move on.

Maybe we can get Mitch back in time for you to make parole

[Enzo954]

We're doomed because there's no way Leon gets rid of his buddy Thibs. Also, Jalen and his Dad are like family to the guy.

please just shank Thibs for us

ppl Complaining about Thibs, THE TEAM
SHOT 4/31 FROM 3, POP wasn't making a difference tonight coaching with the way they shot the 3 ball. Ppl want to blame Thibs for everything, his fault they can't play D? Constantly leaving ppl open from 3? Not hitting their 3's?

It's called being exhausted you Thibs apologist.

Thibs apologist anytime you say the team played like garbage lol. Exhausted give me a damn break. I'm not for or against Thibs you turd but you blame this drubbing on exhaustion? They shot 12% from 3 and couldn't bust them out of a zone all game because of it

[Worst_to_First]

I feel embarrassed right now. KAT played better perimeter defense than our guards and wings. Too bad when his teammates get beat, KAT gets exposed defensively in trying to protect the rim.

If they shot better they wouldn't be as tired.

No way they are missing those 3's because they're fresh as milk

Jalen and Rick will be fine- they just eed to find a brillant coach who is passionate about the game. We have a team with great potential. Thibs will not get the most out of this talented group.

OKC bench: +76

Knicks bench:-40

Must be nice to have a guy on your bench that can score 31 easily if some of your starters dont have it. Fans want our starters to play their minutes, then play with the bench too to help them and wonder why at the end of the game the starters minutes are so high and they are tired.

Maybe play and develop the bench against **** teams?

Or if the team doesn’t know how to handle that, don’t build a top heavy roster.

Isaiah Joe who torched us has been in the league 5 years. Yall want Thibs to turn 18 yr old guy from France who to a pay cut to get drafted into Ray Allen overnight. Or make the rest of those scrubs good by playing a couple bad teams in half a season. Ridiculous expectations

What's ridiculous about playing Kolek when Brunson's play is suffering like it has lately?

You'd see an actual playmaker on the floor for a change

Aight so don’t trade for this roster.

Turd? What are you 13? What a clown.
Guess what genius? Playing a ridiculous number of minutes every game wears players down over time. Ask any NBA player and almost all of them agree. Hell even Brunson alluded to it recently when questioned about it. He answered sideways so he didn't' directly throw Thibs under the bus, but these guys are feeling it. And yes that means that their shooting falls off a cliff also. Have you ever even played sports at a competitive level? Donovan Mitchell even praised his HC recently about how he spreads out the minutes and all the players feel great.

[Worst_to_First]

I haven’t been that critical of Thibs, but we cannot defend him by saying our guys simply sucked from downtown.

It is inexcusable for KAT to have only been averaging 20ppg against this team when there is no one that can stop him single-handedly. With the type of personnel OKC had, the move should have been to punish them down low that could have either tired them out or forced some of their guys into foul trouble. That would also make them more fatigued or apprehensive in their offense while also possibly also getting us more FT attempts if refs call it a little fair and we put them on penalty.

[Jalen Bluntson]

Hey, when you don't run any kind of offense and your defense is designed to let the opponent shoot wide open threes while your team is exhausted from playing too many minutes.....ah. nevermind, Fire Mark Jackson.

[nykballa2k4]

Notice Brunson isn't taking any pull-up 3's recently? He's mostly just trying to foul bait?

Brunson isn't who he was last year this year. Full step back. If we are going to win, we have to go back to being what made us special.

Brunson

Love Precious, what he brought us last year was golden, but he is our movable salary.
I need some rim protection.

[TKKnicks1]

The team just needs to quit on Thibs so he will resign. I say a losing record in January gets us closer to this.
