Mike Malone is a better coach than Thibs
The Knicks starting 5 right now is stackedMaybe. Compare the resumes. Thibs been better outside one season. Malone got a ring with a way better roster than Thibs ever had. Malone never gonna have a roster in NY that's close to the 23 Nuggets.
Lol @ this specific ass requestSomebody photoshop Hali on Snoops head kicking over the trade center with the Knicks logo on it

Mike Malone.Thibs got flaws and that game 1 collapse was inexcusable. But odds of them finding an upgrade around 0%
this nikka is always wrong soI hate to be the guy but....... the Knicks wasn't going to win a title with Brunson as the centerpiece. They originally signed him to be a legit 2 to go along side Randle. The Knicks had a young core in Quickley, Barrett, Toppin, Grimes...
i can write a book about the Knicks bad moves over the last decade. At the end of the day, This was their only legit shot. And you could tell, when comparing the Knicks to other teams, it wasn't going to get any better. Thibs doesn't match that roster. It's not his fault and it's not the players fault. The entire roster was completely overhauled. Mitchell Robinson is the only player on the roster when Thibs got there. So this isn't his team.
They didn't like how they finished the season and how they struggled in the 1st round.Nick Wright had an interesting take
He said the Knicks front office already planned to fire Thibs before the playoffs started
They see the win against the Celtics in the playoffs as a fluke win, and that the Pacers series is what they truly are
And they fired Thibs because they are trying to lure other stars and Thibs has a bad reputation
It's easier to make a change at coach than to put a discerning eye on the roster and conclude that changes are needed to progress. This holds true across all sports.
This was always gonna be the end result. They traded away 5 firsts for Bridges and did the KAT trade. They ain't giving up on that after 1 year
Big Purr in the cut![]()
"After all that???"![]()
KAT was on the #1 defense in the league the year prior. Thibs couldn’t figure it out.Yea blame Thibs for having the p*ssyKAT as your 2nd best player. He doesn't play D and neither does Brunson. Having a 7 man rotation andv40% of your starting lineup not play D wont win you a championship. Like seriously? Who gassed p*ssyKAT up and told him he was the best shooting big man ever? Trade him for more depth.
