Was just listening to KnicksFanTV and CP is reporting that one of the things the team is looking for is more organizational alignment with their next coach (including with the medical staff).
Translation not running the starters tendons into the ground , by playing them extra minutes even in blowouts the only thing you get playing starters up 12 with 1:38 left is :deadrose:

Translation: if we go get you a center that excels in a 5 out offense, play him in a 5 out offense.

This is going to get spun as the front office wanting a puppet as coach though.

Thibs was pulling half-measures all season with Josh Hart in the lineup. Didn't even think about putting Deuce next to Brunson which gives you optimal spacing and still gives you higher defensive upside over Hart.

Mitch didn't come back until end of February

Hart avg 10 boards. The minutes you want for Deuce was never happening

Deuce would not have been a 6'3 Klay Thompson

The original starting 5 had a net rating worse than the Utah Jazz. Thibs didn't change the lineup until it was too late. Rebounds over spacing is retarded, I'm sorry. Especially if you already have a guy getting you 10+ rebounds in the lineup

everybody got a Boss and an end of the year review unless you own your business. after the review it was determined that the supervisor failed to listen to his medical staff, players about the minutes issue. Upper Management took notice and said :win:here is your 30 mil "hit the road Thibs" :camby:
Thank you based Bridges for speaking up publically
:ahh: if you read the articles about the firing it said multiple players felt like they couldn't play as many minutes anymore in the exit Xoom meeting. Nothing like putting someone on blast in a meeting :lolbron:

So two negatives on defense in Brunson/KAT

AND you want nobody assigned to crash the boards. Because Deuce gonna shoot 45% on 3s. Because he's playing 35 minutes a game.

Three actually with Josh Hart out there. How many times did he let someone score on a backdoor cut and look perplexed like it was someone else's fault? A lot of that crashing the boards and failing to get back on defense shyt is a major reason why they lost that Pacers series.

You're talking about the playoffs. With a full roster

Where would the team be from Oct-March if Hart wasn't playing PF

I didn't say not play him. He can still get 30 minutes off the bench., hell he can even start. But when you have opposing centers guarding you like Ben Simmons, then the coach has to adjust. Thibs didn't even run bench units that had 5 willing shooters on the court so it ain't even just an issue with the starters. He put a lineup of Precious/Mitch and Hart out there. How is that not Zionism?
