Game Thread: New York Knicks @ Chicago Bulls - 10/31/25 at 8 PM EST

Let me explain something to the Thibs brigade:

He can’t win you a championship.

Neither can Mike Brown.

The fact that those were the only 2 options to this squad is a joke and a disgrace.

I’d rather get 80 year old Phil Jackson to coach this squad at this point.

Thibs could have won this year if he was backed by Rose and Dolan. He took us from the ashes with Elfrid Payton into the second round of the playoffs and helped turn Randle into an All-NBA Player

With no Tatum and no Hali, Thibs FOR SURE, 100% was taking us to the NBA Finals.

Every coach Can’t take their team to the promised land UNTIL THEY DO!!! Remember that!

I remember it and I'm telling you that 67 year old Thibs was never winning a title with the way he coaches.

Who's calling this game with Breen?

steve novak

He was with Bucks before, no?

[Capn'O]

i don't think we're contending under this coach. it's not just that we're losing a couple games, it's how we look. i wasn't a fan but i assumed we'd still end up top 2 in the conference. not so sure now.

There's no sense of purpose. They look disjointed and disinterested already.

[3toheadmelo]

shot 43 3's and made 42% of them...and still losing

no bueno

it's called defense

I agree, defense is an issue, but the entire team didn't play defense...wasn't just one guy

if the entire team isn't playing defense that's a coaching problem

[kNicksGmen]

The only player we have that can get by their defender is JB. Yet our opponents seem to always have multiple guys able to break us down and get into the paint

Watching deuce try and blow by heurter or whoever that is is was sad

this is league wide. even when guys aren't good enough to blow by 1 on 1 teams scheme guys downhill to get drives into the paint..... we just can't do that I guess and/or the talent is that bad.

Who's calling this game with Breen?

Steve Novak

[B8RcDeMktfxC]

I can not stand Mike Brown, could not stand it when we hired him, can't stand him 5 games in.....

I told you all the Knicks should have hired Thiago Splitter. Too late now.

[TKKnicks1]

I'm starting to think KAT just willed his self proclaimed best shooting big man statement to life and everyone just started to believe it. Vuc shoots better than him. Markannen shoots better than him. AD shoots better than him. Myles Turner shoots better than him. I could keep going.

[thebuzzardman]

lol. Knicks suck. Glad I passed on this **** show

[Guano]

I dont enjoy losing

Mike CLOWN is NOT a championship level coach.

He went to the Finals ONE TIME with LeBron in a terribly WEAK EAST. Only reason he got there. He can take a losing team with talent and get them to 45 wins, that’s it.

mike brown is too chill to be a head coach. he's a great assistant but not the guy you want to coach your team

Team has zero respect for Mike Brown.

Doesn't help that he was our 11th option.

I would say thats fair...I also think the requisite effort by the players wasn't there to start. The defense was far better in the 2nd half.

[kNicksGmen]

assuming yes but did we lose 3 games in a row last year?

[Jeff Van Gully]

They didn’t even look awake in the first half

[Red Vines]

Brown needs to start challenging some of these players directly or risk losing everyone. He has the juice to do it right now, he's not getting fired.

[mpharris36]

brutal game from brunson

[Knicks Byke]

mikal kat and Mitch plus picks for giannis

[NiceLikeChrist]

mcbride -24
hart -18
brunson -10


Kat+1

That last possession where he missed two wide open threes and got cooked twice by Vuc lost us the game

the game was lost in the 1st half...yes we had a chance to be perfect in 2nd half and the good vibez ran out

but the effort in the 1st half was unacceptbale

putting yourself in a 20 pt hole.

It was a 4 point game when KAT subbed in and missed his first open 3. At that point it’s winnable regardless what happened in the first half

Yea we were in a hole and we shouldn’t have been in that hole but we still could’ve and should’ve won despite that

[NYKat]

mcbride -24
hart -18
brunson -10


Kat+1

That last possession where he missed two wide open threes and got cooked twice by Vuc lost us the game

if games are won/lost by a couple possessions late in the game then sure that's fair. game was lost in the first half.

Fine you can say we lost it in the first half, my point is we had a chance to win until that sequence where Kat single handledly blew 2 offensive AND defensive posessions
