Tatum sonned him, and I bet Brown can son him as well.

This isn't what you give up 5 1sts and a swap for.


2 firsts this year (ours and Detroits) alone could have been used to trade up for perhaps a better player.
Instead our assets are mostly gone.
And on top of that a coach who the game has passed by.

The Celts took everyone else away. The play wasn't for Hart. He came from the opposite side of the court to prevent the five secinds and still tried to hand it off and the Celts blew that up, too.

It's crazy when the entire fan base watching the game is screaming foul him, yet the coach doesn't convey that to his squad. If you watch the replay, you can even see Brunson throw up his hands while back peddling on defense saying something like "should we foul". This is 100% on Thibs. Our guys almost always fall apart in the closing minutes against top tier teams. That's them not being prepared with X and O's going into battle. Inexcusable at this level!
That's not even true. The Knicks have an excellent record in close and overtime games. This is the first time they've been close to a top team. The other 8 games were all blowouts.

Mikal aint the problem, I’ve been saying this
The guy can put up 30 in his sleep
There’s a reason why he thrives in certain situations
Thibs does NOT put any player on the team in a position to win, ever
The whole system is “read and react”… wtf is that??
The individual talent of each member of the team, is the sole reason we can wing games.
Mikal, nor KAT, nor OG is the problem, you’re playing these guys in completely wrong positions. GET A MODERN NBA COACH! The goal is championships, not 50 win seasons

Those aren’t the top 3 teams though.
When it comes to clutch situations, Thibs has notoriously NOT fouled when up 3
He can never draw up an out of bounds play to save his life
He doesn’t communicate plays offensively in crunch time to his team
The list of grievances go on and on with Thibs

What purpose did Hart serve being on the court with less than 3 seconds on the clock? This is the 2nd time in a month he ended up with the ball with limited time on the clock in a tie game. Last time he didn't even get a shot off

Ask yourself, WHY IS JOSH HART EVEN IN THE GAME WITH 3 SECONDS TO PLAY?!?!?!?!
WHAT CAN HE POSSIBLY DO IN THAT SITUATION WHERE ALL THE PLAYERS ON THE COURT EITHER NEED TO:
A. BE ABLE TO SHOOT THE BALL QUICKLY
OR
B. SET GOOD PICKS TO FREE UP THE SHOOTERS

Put the best shooters in at that moment, if anything hart should have been INBOUNDING the ball

I'm not sure he is a great inbounder unfortunately. That hasn't gone well for him either in the last month.

Thibs out coaching mazulla. Thats my mf coach!


He in fact got outcoached again, multiple times over, an hour later in the second half and overtime
Not playing Mitch over hart
Not having a proper play drawn up to close out regulation, you make hart shoot, why is he even in the game?
Not fouling Tatum up 3
Not having a proper play drawn up down 3 to close the game in OT, (YOU GO TO MIKAL IN THE CORNER INSTEAD OF THE MIDDLE OF COURT TO SET UP A PLAY)

Thibs… sucks so goddamn much

Yea! Aka, have deuce or even Payne or shamet in there who can shoot instead of Hart
The lineup should have been Mikal inbounding, KAT, Mitch setting a pick to free up JB, OG
Stupid idiot of a coach

It took two games and the team reverted back to exactly what it was before Brunson got injured. He’s not running the team effectively at all and I 100% believe he got outcoached.

One last thing about this coach, I’m sick of the same things for ages. FOUL UP 3 and under 10 or 15 seconds to go.
I’m tired of having one of the best Knick rosters ever, at definitely the most talented in the last 25 years, and one of the most stupid archaic coaches I’ve ever seen, holding back the team.
The game passed him by 15 years ago. I scream at the TV night after night, knowing fully well, Thibs is the reason we will have to wait another 10-15 years for another rebuild because he wont win us a ring, and HE is the reason why we have a lid on our potential.

God awful stubborn piece of sh** who’s ideologies of the game have long since been passed by.

Also it’s going to be hard for them to maintain this roster after this season. Meanwhile I actually think we could get better this offseason.

Mike Malone and Taylor Jenkins are out there…. There is a legit chance we see coach Bud out there this summer. Plus Dan Hurley might leave UConn considering his pursuit of a 3peat is over. This summer is going to be about as good as any other for the Knicks to look at other potential head coaches.

I’m not shocked. We beat up on bad teams and get exposed vs good teams. The warning signs were there all season. It’s not going to change in 2 weeks lol
