🚨🚨Breaking News🚨🚨Knicks Head Coach Tom Thibodeau fired by the team after winning 2nd Round Championship. The Haliban Caught a Body.

[OneManGang]

Losing Game 1 like that at home was the nail in the coffin. I think he has a leg to stand on if that never happened. That was a generational choke.

His unwillingness to go to the bench all year, lack of any kind of offensive system besides let JB cook, slowness to react and execute adjustments based off the opponent. All valid reasons to let him go. I think the Knicks won in spite of him a lot of the time. This is a talented team

Current Knicks players seemed to buy into the culture for the most part, and it's not like they weren't a cpl games way from the finals




We need a NFL/Not For Long iteration for the NBA cuz these coaches shelf lives are damn near non-existent now, even in success

Mikal was probably looking at those nikkas like they were in a cult. “Why are y’all ok with this?”

 

[CHICAGO]

You beat the world champs only to lose the Pacers that is disappointing

Then you wait until the ECF to start playing your bench

The Knicks don't run an offense

The offense is here Jalen take all the shots

YOU SAY THIS AS IF
THE PACERS DIDNT JUST
DESTROY THE ONE SEEDED CAVS

“A team is just better”

Is not an excuse for not making any adjustments…

Adjustments were made. The Pacers were better.

It had to be done

I'm actually shocked I didn't think Leon Rose would have the balls to make this move

Mike Malone has to be the guy

Leon don’t play

Becky Hammon being on their is straight jokes.

If it its their honest assessment that this was as far as he could take them, should they just let him keep coaching next year for fun? Mind you, the team president is his former agent and really good friend.

So this is a championship team? For fun? They just made the CF for the first time since Clinton was in office. I could see if they lost in Rd 1. But to look at this team and say a CF game 6 aint good enough just doesn't seem realistic to me .

Thibs replacement probably won’t get further than Thibs got this year. But Ty Lue or Spolestra would’ve given them a better chance with this roster.

The problem was the matchup though. Indy took down Mil, Cavs & then us. the way they took down Cleve was crazy, and they were a more complete team than us. They have no style to prepare for or a system in place. They're very unorthodox.

We wouldn't have gotten past Bos with Lue, and with Spolestra, we may get 45 wins.

Kicks overachieved like a mother fukker. Like I hate the Knicks but they did a great job. The pacers beat Giannas and are legit a really good team. Like would he be fired if knicks lost against giannas or Boston? But he get fired for losing a complete team that also made it to the finals . LeBron and Luka lost against Anthony Edward’s and Randle. They legit, but they coach not getting fired.. Knicks don’t have that same star power . Like you can be upset you ain’t go to the finals, but y’all lost against a legit team and beat the fukking Celtics before Tatum had the injury . Boston was already losing Knicks are just cursed. Not by God, but by a horrible front office and ownership. Y’all would even be tripping to get rid of KAT. As a Minnesota fan and Chicago Bulls fan I’m very familiar with Thibs. And he a good fukking coach despite the criticism of time for his starters . KAT play defense horrible and always foul out , and I was tired of him, but he has been good for the Knicks and honestly Randle been good for us . Jalen was attacked on that hedge and is a horrible defensive player as well. So we wanna blame everything on thibs and KAT when we got defensive issues with personnel and offensive issues with y’all point guard holding the ball too long (regardless of how good he is). I hate New York fans, but low key the nba better with Knicks being competitive. Welcome back to irrelevance New York y’all defensive gonna be horrible next year and y’all offense not high volume enough to compete with the Bucks, cavs, or Pacers next year

Appreciate you keeping that seat warm for me big dog

 

[Tribal Outkast]

Better hope they know what they’re doing. They could easily fall of hard next year

 

[VegetasHairline]

I hope Mark Jackson gets this job, with all due respect.

We all know:

THIBS AIN’T COACHING SHYT

-Keeps Josh Hart in the startling line up forever. Dude makes nothing but bonehead dummy plays and fouls.

-Keeps Shamat on the bench.., when he needs 3s.

-Allows Brunson to iso every single play for 23 seconds

I mean, I don’t have time to explain all the ways this dude can’t coach for shyt.

JB Bickerstaff would’ve had the Knicks in the NBA Finals. And that is a fact.

 

[br82186]

Rick Pitino's agent calling Shams right now like

".........but you didn't hear it from me "

Pitino couldn't get shyt done in his previous run as a Knicks coach

 

[Remote]

He’s not a wartime consigleri.
