But a huge point of contention for Knicks ownership and fans was that the bench players needed to be played. If that was such a huge sticking point, you don’t go after Thibs because he refused to give bench players minutes
They didn't fire Thibs because of his inability to trust and play his bench or younger guys; it's really because of that Game 1 stinker against the Pacers that sealed the deal in the event they'd lose the series, which they did, had they won and advanced to the Finals, and lost, he'd still be coaching.

Thibs was out of there the moment New York lost the first game in that fashion, and they never mentally recovered after that, with the game 2 loss, making it clear he needed to go.

So you’re telling me that him not giving others players burn to develop them and save the legs of the vets didn’t play a part in this decision at all? GTFOH.

Bridges had to lobby that man to use the bench. When players came in and performed well, it made him look worse. A whole lot of “what ifs” because Brunson and company had all that wear and tear.

Knicks were stupid AF to fire him w/o a plan though
