Maybe fire Thibs at halftime? It is the next step after what Denver did.
When will we just change the name of 25 of the 30 teams to the Washington Generals?

Please advise….

That's not going to turn Jalen Brunson and Karl Towns into an average defenders unfortunately.

I'm gonna be honest here. I like Thibs but he should have taken a timeout way earlier than that. He probably should have taken after New York couldn't even get into their offensive set with Hart bringing the ball up against Sheppard's press. New York wasn't able to get into their set until they had 6 seconds remaining in that possession. That's when he should have called a timeout.

Total implosion by the Knicks, they had 0 turnovers in the first half but now they are committing live turnovers on every other possession.

There's something very likeable about this Indiana team. They play hard and do not egregiously flop. Carlisle got everybody running and Haliburton seems to be a great East villain.
