My Pops Forever RIP
:laugh: @ everyone crying over this. It ain’t even about Thibs with yall. It’s that Thibs represents a coach that DGAF about numbers, minutes, analytics and all the stuff yall hate that teams value now and seeing him go bothers yall.

If yall wanna pour honey on yourselves and sing Mo Bamba on 33rd after winning a playoff round,

1. You can do that anyway
2. Then he’s your guy.

They gotta hit the hire outta the park, but it’s time to get serious. Y’all are competent. You should trust management and you have pieces that could win a title. You’re more than a coach away, but you’re still a coach away.

The End
It is just you. No one on this bench on this team for the 24-25 season was getting us over the top to beat the Pacers. It was a bad matchup.

But Thibs is gone now. Again, lets see who they hire and what moves they make. The current roster made it to capacity.
bad matchup, but needed to have a once in a lifetime comeback to win game 1

A 15 point lead blown in the last 2:51 of a basketball game is not a bad matchup, that’s bad coaching.

and yes it matters despite whatever else he did cause the playoffs are the most consequential games of the season.

Knicks clearly felt they made it this far in spite of Thibs
Knicks front office aint in no position to feel that way. They've had a revolving door of coaches for decades, they gave up 5 first rounders for Mikal Bridges, and they got their best player in some kind of colluded father son package deal. If they thinking they Sam Presti'd this build to success they in for a rude awakening.

Malone won't do better than Thibs and this firing just proves this is a star driven league. Brunson and KAT were in the limelight so they fire the coach as we've seen it happen before. There is no coach out there that will be hired and in his first year lead Knicks to finals. They have a roster issue.

The Knicks haven’t been this relevant in a quarter century.

Firing your coach that was just 2 games removed from reaching the finals isn’t a good look.

Mike Malone or whomever they are eyeing aren’t going to be able to do much more with this personnel.

People give Thibs shyt for his lack of rotations and adjustments as well as the perception he runs players into the ground, but in my opinion most of his teams overachieve.

A 6’0 shooting guard is your first option. Then you have KAT as your second option. Good players but very flawed. Thibs took this team as far as they were going and I’m not sure they even get this far if it wasn’t for Tatum getting hurt in that Boston series.
