GT: Knicks vs T-Wolves 1/17/25 7:30PM EST

[The KnicksFix]

Where did I say nothing having KAT was the reason we gave up 22 3's? Not having KAT is the reason we didn't crack 100 points though, If he plays prob hits some of the 3's we missed with The globe trotters coming down and directly
Hitting a 3 off our missed 3. Team really needs KAT and needs Mitch down the stretch nd should hit its stride at the rite time but the games are very annoying rite now

you legit asked a question is it thibs fault Minn shot 57% from 3...and I'm legit telling you it is!

I call bs on Thibs telling guys to sag off every 3 point
Shooter, granted Naz Miller didn't miss and took them 5-6 feet behind the line

Lmaoo what? You’re serious? This is his scheme, we do this year after year, wtf lmaooo

4th Quarter AGAIN. Thibs will never learn.

[LFGK]

Learn what? They didn't even play heavy minutes. Guys were just hitting every single 3

Only a thibs team will see 3 starters at 38 mins and one at 35 and think they had a rest day

What did the wolves do? They had 4 starters at 34+ minutes, is this what we're complaining about? 2-3 minutes? B*tchboy league man

If only we were comparing this one game and this one game only.

You’re sounding like thibs and ignoring the impact and strain this minutes distribution has when you maintain it for half a season.

How many times do our guys have to fizzle out in the 4th?

[TKKnicks1]

FO got a pretty $hitty dilemma. They fire Thibs and they have no one to promote in the interim. Anyone who thinks Rick Brunson can coach anything but his own son is kidding themselves. Not many teams will bring in a fresh new outside coach mid season unless it's one that has a proven track record. Unfortunately, we stuck with elite talent and mediocre coaching for the rest of this season.

[TKKnicks1]

And oh ya if we had kept J Bryant we wouldn't be in this $hitty dilemma.

[FrozenEnvelope]

We have the 5th best record in the league and people want Johnny Bryant over Thibs.

God I wish I could send you all back to the Fizdale era and leave you there forever.

Because the defense defined by Thibs is predicated on packing the paint in drop rather than guard the perimeter

We have not beaten a single top 4 team
Our expectation is to be one of the contenders, not beat up on the lower scrub teams. We are a clear tier below the top teams, when we should be one of the top two teams in the east. Our expectations have risen.

I get it but it takes time. It's year one with this roster and core and we've only played half a season. The season opener against Boston was not even a real game and shouldn't be taken seriously. The game against Cleveland was also super early in the season and it was a tied game with 5 mins left. We were up 14 against OKC in the first game. I know we are 0-4 against those teams ahead of us but we've shown we can compete and we still have time to see where we stand.

The situation is not as bleak as some of you make it out to be and Thibs is not getting fired any time soon.

Here is the epitome of Thibs defensive scheme. Any player that even gets an inch close to the middle of the floor means the defense must collapse cuz God forbid the opposition scores in the sacred all mighty paint. In this particular play not only are we stupid to double Randle who looked at the rim all but 2 times the entire night but there was so much miscommunication between Hart, JB, OG and Precious that they left two players pretty much wide open on the perimeter cuz of their over help on defense.

Here's another example. Look how far off they sag from the perimeter just cuz Randle is inching towards the paint. This isn't the players fault! This is what they are coached to do!

Do some of you really think if we fired Thibs and replaced him with let's say Johnny Bryant or Mark Jackson or maybe Adrian Griffin and they expanded the bench to 10 players that included Pacome, Kolek and Hukporti playing 12-15 mpg that we'd be a lot better then 27-15 and 3rd in the East?

[KnicksGadfly]

Sometimes you can’t even call them Thibs supporters anymore. I think once you cross the line to nonsensical and irrational arguments, you officially become a Thibs Slurper.

Scheme and execution def need tinkering and improvement. The only good thing I can see from this scheme is that it limits the attempts. I think teams are averaging in the bottom ten in 3pt attempts against us which is good but the percentage def needs to get down.

The fact remains we got to 3rd place by having one of the easier schedules to open the season. Despite having the easier schedule Thibs has already ran the team into the ground by pretty much playing 7 deep so far this season. All of our starters are tired and in the upper echelon in MPG. The writing on the wall tells us the losses are going to come fast and steady now that we have the toughest schedule the rest of the way.

We want a coach that will distribute the minutes better and have a sense of in game strategy so come playoff time we aren't dropping like flies similar to last season. Thibs historically puts all his chips in during the regular season and never saves anything for the post season. Majority of us are sick and tired of it.

True but it’s halfway thru the season.
We shouldn’t have lost the game against the pistons if Thibs would have adjusted.
We shouldn’t have lost the two games against the hawks if Thibs would have adjusted.
We shouldn’t have lost the game against the rockets if Thibs would have adjusted.

These are alarming trends. If you figure this is a 3 year window, we are already 16.5% the way thru. At the end of the year it will be 33%

It’s not about losing the big games, it’s the fact that we beat up on the lower teams (and even that we are starting to lose a grip on)

Absolute NO to Rick Brunson. Doesn't have to be him though. If it is one of the assistants, then maybe Mark Bryant whom we know as the big man coach. Mo Cheeks has the background.You'd be replacing Thibs with a guy the same age, but he should have the ability to do it for half a season. There's Dice whom may only be a Thibs clone at this point. Andy Greer used to run Minny's defense. Daniel Brady is still relatively inexperienced and Erman got fired by GS for being shady so don't know about those two.

Bryant or Cheeks probably.
