Cool with me. You would suffer more watching the rest of the playoffs than I would in jail.

I forget you're like the hippy Al Bundy and would view that as a nice little vacation and time away from it all.

I was thinking the same thing. Have Hart bring it up. It will help get Hart in rhythm & save energy for Brunson

I've been saying it all year. Stop leaving Brunson to have to fight bigger defenders in full court press all game game all season long. Thibs is a moron though.

Literally one of the cheapest defensive schemes out there. We know they're going to do it. Thibs still doesn't adjust.

The rest of it is worse. We have them guarding our 7 ft star with a guard and our 6'4 PF/C with their ACTUAL C and that kills ALL of our offense unless Brunson goes nuclear.

THIBS IS GARBAGE. ANY HC could have gotten more wins with this squad.

More than 1 thing can be true. Team can be soft and boring and thibs can suck and not be a fit for this roster.

It was surreal to see Brunson waiting to check in the last 2 minutes and Thibs just frozen not calling a timeout. Just let Cam Payne go to work.

Just watch the play calling by Bickerstaff who by no means is some X & O wizard. You see the cutting and moving with a purpose and they get the shot they want. Now think how often that happens for us.

If you’re a Thibs guy, you just say look at how poorly McBride and bridges played

And Brunson was awful in game 2, and game five

That’s true too, but whatever it is not worth even advancing

either that, or either Shamet or Wright need to take his spot

Honestly don't even want to see him on the floor anymore.

mcbride being a complete zero offensively has really hurt. I think they felt more comfortable with that 2 for 1 deal because they thought McBride was ready for a bigger role especially coming off the playoffs he had...but he looks shook out there.

Look at how OKC CLE BOS closed out for their 4th win. Then look at us.

Never. I'm so mentally exhausted with the same set over and over and over again.

Zero times. It only happens by chance. It's such a struggle on the offensive end and we literally have four players than can all score 20 pts or more on any given night. It's so obvious that I can't even fathom how there are still Thibs supporters out there.

This series really doesn't need thibs(he sure could help). If Brunson is good g2g we should win. If not we're prolly fcked.

A simple pick and roll with Cade and Duren with Thompson in the dunker’s spot and a shooter In the corner killed us about 5-6x tonight lol

They're missing because they aren't involved in the offense, but instead have to watch their PG dribble out the clock on every possession.

At this point its pretty obvious...Either get thibs a brillant offensive coach or fire him.
The Knicks are easy to beat from a coaching standpoint and thats why we didnt win any games against elite teams.

KAT and JB are road warriors. Agree with you they will do better.

Just keep in mind, McBricks had a pretty **** Pacers series. He couldn't stop a nose bleed.

When I saw him call for the 30 foot post up for KAT I thought he might just be trolling us at this point.

Yep I said it earlier. They ran the same play over and over again and we couldn't defend it even once. It's not just the offense but we are very mid on defense this year as well.
