Playing basketball is not fun when you are already worn out from overuse and know you're about to go 100mph for another 48 minutes straight. You come out of the gates mentally defeated.

So glad Mikal called him out. You would think Dolan forcing him to play Huk would help Thibs catch the hint: PLAY THE BENCH. Now the players are publicly saying it, turning on the terrorist, and world is watching with keen interest.


Yep, you can see that none of these guys are happy when they’re playing.
OG and Mikal just look bewildered and sad on the court, They dont have a joy in them when they’re on the court, you can see they’re drained. I’m tired of this bumass coach, just ruins players along the way, when he’s the one that should be fired.

Tyler Kolek says "Thanks Mikal" while holding up his middle finger behind his back while talking to Thibs

You can’t defend this. This is Thibs worst season with minutes since luol Deng days.

I would quibble with the following comment just to say the FO did sign some good guys, yes, but overall not enough size and balance. Too many guards not enough forwards of 6'8 or more

The Knicks front office put together a bunch of quality bench guys and he doesn’t use them enough.
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

But there’s no reason Mikal should be playing 40+ minutes a night, damn near 45
Thibs is a bum

I appreciate mikal's candor. He'd knew the implications of asking for less playing time can be viewed as sawftness but he took one anyway...sacrifice for the team, as they say

It definitely put the cross-hairs on thibs and what has been the elephant in the room for so many years has now been made as clear as daylight.

5 picks and he doesn't even say "Thank you" for all the minutes. Probably wasn't wearing a suit when addressing Thibs, either.

I stand with Thibs

How is Mikal supposed to thrive and kill, when he’s asked to guard the opposing best player or second best player every night, while playing 45+ mins a night, running off screen after screen. That’s not even where he’s supposed to be playing, he should be on the wings guarding

And this is why I’m a Mikal Stan.

Mikal is the hero we need but not the hero we deserve right now.
