Lol I mean this is ridiculous

[GettinitDone]

Let me remind everyone nobody is winning a title in january, the key is to be healthy and playing your best ball in may, whatever you do in January despite how much importance people want to put on last night will mean NOTHING when round 1 of playoffs begin.

Exactly! Noone is winning a title in Jan, so why is Thibs playing starters 40 mins, 3 players in L's top 10 in mpg (Mikal and Josh at #1 and #2), and all starters in top 50 in mpg?? Look at the top 2 teams: Thunder and Cavs, aside of SGA at #31 with 34.5mpg (UNDER 35mpg!), NONE OF THEIR PLAYERS is in top 50 in mpg!!

So why is Thibs making us run sprint (where nothing is won in Dec-Jan) in a MARATHON race (where we wanna be our best in Apr-Jun), again?

Let me ask you this, honestly, is the depth of this roster as constituted good enough to win a ring? If you really believe this and the team not being a title contender is because of thibs and not because of the lack of depth you are misguided

Well it's like chicken and egg dilemma... you say Thibs doesn't play the bench because they suck. But other people could easily argue the bench sucks because Thibs doesn't play them, doesn't give them enough reps to build confidence etc...

Deuce was a doo doo before we traded IQ to Toronto... I'm sure you were one of the many guys who thought he's not an NBA player. Guess what, Deuce needs mins to be Deuce. Divo was a signing mistake before we replaced Grimes in SL with him. Then he made 3pt records left and right !!! iHart was also a **** no good bench player, but Mitch got hurt and he became a starter, and this team sorely misses him now. This **** applies to ALL players.

You think as a good but UNPROVEN young player, you can just waltz in and turn in career high performances after previously just recording 20 straight DNP-CDs... or 10 mins combined in the previous 15 games??? You need consistent mins and more importantly TRUST from the coach to learn and to play the NBA game with confidence.


Thibs supporters: the bench sucks

Huk with fragile confidence after all the crazy DNP-CDs (when clearly he's better than Sims):

Eye test don't lie, Huk, Kolek and imo Pac can all play ! Duh, if you give Luka Doncic 10 mins combined in 15 games, or 15 straight DNP-CDs, he and his stats gonna look like **** too ! No rocket science really !!

You answered your own question lol Mitch, Bogs, McBride, Burks, Precious >>>>>>Payne, Shamet, McBride, Precious


We had 2 shot creators coming off the bench in Burks and Bogs. We have none this year

Still not sold. Burks wasn't a huge part of our bench and didn't really start getting playing time until the injuries started piling up. Bogs was decent on offense but a huge liability on defense so I'm calling him a wash with Shamet/Payne. Other than Mitch I think our bench is fundamentally the same.

Burks and Bogs both averaged 20ppg on the season before being traded to the Knicks. They’re professional scorers. There’s no one the bench capable of averaging 20ppg even on a bad team.

Miles McBride dropped 22 points against the Celtics on October 22.

Knicks need to promote Dadiet and play him a lot. That will solve everything.

Knicks are similar to the Nuggets this year. Top heavy team with a huge dropoff when the best players are not on the court. Which is why Jokic is top 5 in minutes. I'm sure their coach would prefer to play him under 30 mpg like OKC too and still be 4th in the west

The Nuggets have 1 player in the top 10, we have three at 1, 2, 7.

Usually when teammates are 1-2 in MPG, the coach gets fired shortly after.

I dont recall a coach getting fired when they are 3rd in the conference with a top 5 overall record in the middle of the season. Do you know of any I missed?

The Gravy has no seasoning, my man the Bucks fired Adrian Griffin last year with the 2nd best record in the NBA

Y’all actually stuck around for post game damn. This team is disappointing af.

And KAT would also be north of 1300 (1240 now) if he didn’t miss two games

I like McBride but Bro one game lol that’s like that Joe guy dropping 30 last night

You witnessed a Top team make adjustments. Some of you think the players were ass. No, Thibs was ass. They doubled teams- played mana to man- went zone- ran play that got their guys open. And what did we do? The same predictable ****!

Team was clearly ass as well tonight.

It’s okay to admit everyone $hit the bed tonight

This is on Thibs.

The thing about NY fans we may be crazy but we not dumb. We see whatever they tryna execute not being executed. Something is off with locker room. They not sharing the ball how they use to. Not force feeding Towns. Is it because Towns got more votes than Brunson? We gotta figure it out.

Since day 1 I told y’all I don’t like Thibs. Overplay starters, don’t trust young players, predictable let the players create offense, offense. Man to man drop same old coverage. The wins and playing starters getting wins made yall love him. I keep telling yall he’s not good. This is mainly x/o’s. I told yall he had RJ in a corner. Now he has OG in a corner. Look man, he’s not the guy.

Most teams in the nba can play their main guys like playoffs and get wins. Thibs seem to be the only guy that doesn't want to incorporate bench players to be able to survive the season. We watch magic, hawks whoever play guys we never heard of. Yes a lot of these teams have young talent who are better but it’s also knowing strengths and weaknesses and being able to create something. We do not play 1 player to their strengths. Kat would be averaging 30 under a modern coach tbh. Thibs just has people in shackles. That iso garbage worked for Randle. Now he got Brunson doing it and guys just sitting back guarding areas not man to man like Thibs.

For Doc Rivers great example lmao. You told me you want Dice Yoshimoto to be our next coach. Lets see if they do that

He did that off the bench. I am more than positive he would be a 20 PPG player starting for Detroit/Charlotte etc.

I just started watching last December...I agree with you now
We have a great core-I'm excited about it...I feel sorry for Thibs because I can tell hes a good person and very committed to his beliefs. I can respect that but I think it's clear he will never evolve...

Shame you have to lie so much.

We had Johnnie Bryant, he should have been promoted. We still have Dice, but he's a Thibs disciple so who knows. But there has to be a coach that is more willing to try different things and adjust based on who we're playing.

Dice could be interim, but acting like there's no other coaches out there is comical. Like Mazzulla, Daignault, Jenkins were household names before they got coaching jobs. The Celtics let Ime go and had Mazzulla right there, it says a lot about Thibs if his coaching tree doesn't have any success stories.

[Clyde_Style]

Yall told me Shamet?

Who? Everyone keeps saying the bench needs to play regardless, because we want to keep the starters fresh. You keep saying over and over again that random Boogeyman posters are saying we have the 2016 Warriors bench, because you need to misrepresent things just to defend your lord and savior. The starters got destroyed in this game, but that is the bench's fault?


Mikal and OG have dead legs, the team as a whole have dead legs which is why we cannot shoot now. Mikal from November 1st to Jan 1st averaged 40mpg, Jimmy Butler literally asked out of the all-star game because he averaged 37mpg and had tired legs playing for Thibs. You no doubt defended the absurd minutes these guys were playing, and now you're trying your hardest to deflect from the results of doing it.

Yep, the starters should be playing less than 30mpg like the new flavor of the month coach Daigneault. Our roster is exactly as talented as theirs right? Evil Thibs is playing them 37 minutes for no reason at all because the bench is awesome. We got people here saying Kolek is better than Brunson . You promised us for years the next coach will be a Steve Kerr and make everything right. Whenever they make that change I'll be waiting for it all to be fixed and win championships

Why would you make up stuff like that Gravy?

Nobody said anything about Kolek being better than Brunson. It is being said Kolek needs minutes and that his more traditional PG skills would be good to have on the floor part of the game. Kolek is already a good player who is far and above the best backup PG on the team. He's a better PG than Payne or Deuce.

[F N 11]

We really did get beat by some Joe Schmo

Knicks don’t even contest shots. Really think guys just going to brick. This is the damn nba…

There literally had to be a media push about him going around to coaches tryna get modernized. The way we have been playing not shooting 3s at a high clip is all Thibs . Dude hates being modern.

[Spree2Houston]

Pretty obvious Hart is talking about Brunson. I can see FO trading him for another piece.

He's basically strawman, every point he makes is based around something nobody has said, or something he purposely twists.

[F N 11]

I feel embarrassed right now. KAT played better perimeter defense than our guards and wings. Too bad when his teammates get beat, KAT gets exposed defensively in trying to protect the rim.

Nobody recovers and OG and Mikal can’t rebound or hustle enough.
