thibs defenders literally have no basketball reason to bring him back.
never ever about the on court product. never about the process. always "it could be worse"
scary ass nikkas need to buy a dog

 

[ISO]

Was just talking to my stepdad who’s mad they fired Thibs. Had to ask him if he was as exhausted as me watching that offense some nights.

Oh, Mikal buried the fukk out of this nikka.

Knickas seemed to know their roles in the Celtics series and ECF Game 1, up until our 2nd biggest franchise choke job occured

it aint about the isos, its about unnecessarily making the iso's difficult cause you playing josh hart with your two best players 85 percent of their minutes. now driving gaps are gone, paint touches are limited. you're clawing through double teams that are ever-present.
no off ball actions to create spacing. no layers to the offense so now you got a static defense you're tryna play brute force basketball with, while having some of the most talented scorers in the league.
shyt is lazy and dense analysis dog

That’s the shyt that is killing me. “It’s not fair.” “They’ve never been this far before.” Please, get a hold of yourselves. Yes, there’s no guarantee that the next coach will win a chip. But you know what is a guarantee? That Thibs wasn’t going to figure out this offense or his rotations. And now we’re learning that the team begged him to make the obvious change WAY LATER THEN THEY SHOULD HAVE and he didn’t do it until the last possible moment.

So who should've played more minutes at the 2guard, coach?

According to this very data, among the final 4 teams left in the playoffs, the Knicks were the most iso-ball team.

Thanks for proving our point!

Mikal and Duece for sure. Duece probably had the most “scathing” post game presser out of everyone.

a sane normal coach is going through multiple variations and lineups to see what it would bring over the course of an 82 game season
we were locked into the 3rd seed and this p*ssy ran the same lineups anyway
who the fukk acquires a 5 out center to immediately stunt his whole advantage by trotting out the most used lineup in the the nba that actively ruins what he does well
obvious deuce shouldve played more, not cause he's perfect but cause he's a better screen navigator than mikal/josh and he's a high volume 3 point shooter off the catch and shoot...whic intrinsically makes life easier on your two stars, and shifts mikal into a helper role. mikal was the worst screen navigator in the damn sport and we watched it for 100 games dog. actually nuts
these are not talking points a billion iq person has. these are observations i've noticed since january, that SMARTER MINDS have noticed and you shooting this 67 year old bail for operating the same way he has in different organizations for 15 years now

If McBride wants more minutes/shots over nikkas making $40m. He's gotta hit all of his
