Mikal Bridges had terrible shot selection all night.

Brunson got punked by Mathurin. If the teams switched PGs the Knicks would win 60 games and be the #1 seed

This game made me think of G1. If we hadn't blown G1, this loss would have sucked but it would be 2-2 with HCA. Just a catasthrophic loss.

Trade KAT Hart and Mikal and bring home Giannis.

Thibs ain’t the coach we need.

how could we not...we make zero adjustments...and thibs falls into a grouping that sort of works because of foul trouble and then goes completely away from it this game and we give up 130 pts playing drop coverage for the most of the game.

I don't get this Jim Carey love man, in his coaching career, he's missed the playoffs 7/23 seasons, lost in the first round 8/23 seasons, so 65% of his career hasn't made the playoffs or won a playoff round. Why are people treating this guy as if he's Pop?


Cause they hate Thibs and would also hate Carlisle if he was our coach too.


It is foolish to underestimate Carlisle. Guy won the Finals having the underdog team. Thibs is a solid coach but Carlise is just superior. Truth hurts.

That’s an understatement.

Hire Mike Malone and keep the players.

I don’t think Mikal Bridges is this bad man. He needs good coaching.

Kind of a good point ... He just changed the lineup because he was losing but basically went right back to what he wants to do.

Maybe he's never had good instincts for the game. After all, he was a defensive coach and then he was a guy who inherited a dominant player.

Whatever it is, he's got zero ability to make this team work.

He knows one thing: Try to let Brunson bail his ass out.
