Re: Game Thread: Knicks at Celtics 2/23 Sun 1:00 PM (ABC ESPN+)
We are so poorly coached.
What does this bafoon do in Tarrytown all day.
It's like that guy that works overtime at work and tries to be the special project guy....he doesn't actually provide any value

Agenda.
The team has 17 pts, and the usual suspects are talking about defense.

We have versatile players who can pass, and score off the ball, as well as hit threes, and we have two elite offensive weapons.
Why does every offensive possession look like an absolute struggle against a decent defense.
Coach is azz. Get him out of here. We need our "Atkinson".

i don't think there's anything you can really do. on offense you can try and run a 2 man game with brunson/kat but defensively there's nothing you can do b/c kat and brunson defense is horrendous.

The offense looks horrible.
It is crazy we really have zero strategy. Neither on offense nor defense.

If someone said my family and friends will be well off, bills paid, I'd go into a cryogenic chamber for a few months and wake up in September when this roster is freshen out.

If the Celtics win by 50+, is there a chance Thibs could get fired?

those are the 2 positions where at least one of them needs to be good. being poor at POA and then protecting the back line is super tough to compensate for against the better teams in the league.
We had several games from ATL to DEN where we attacked their POA and our defense actually looked good. Then we went back to our current ineffective scheme
Thibs is the weirdest MF coach I've ever seen. Whenever something works or a player plays well, he ditches the effective strategy or benches the player
His head is a jar of mothballs
No we are not going to see a new style until he is gone. Just keep getting out coached and I’m supposed to feel great?

Well on KFTV, JD wanted him fired but CP kept defending Thibs and asked JD to name a better coach with a better offensive or defensive philosophy
This defensive philosophy that has us last in 3 pt defense and pretty much bottom 10 in overall D

4 seconds on shot clock Brunson gets it and stands there lmao. All we can do is complain about fouls. Yeah we basically Doc Rivers Clippers.
