Thibs Reacts to Physical Game 2 Loss vs Cavs & Adjustments for Game 3 | New York Knicks

25 Comments

  1. Bully Ball is done, no adjustment by the HC and way to many unforced turnovers. They where totally out coached and out played and why are two teammates willing to get floor burns and several teammates are not……………Never a believer in Randall in the playoffs

  2. they figured out a major weak spot by blitzing jalen brunsen and making knicks pass the ball around waste time on the clock. not sure how they going to figure this one out they need to bring the blitzing guy up and set a pick then give it back to brunsen on the roll so he can penetrate again. grimes need to hit his shots man. knicks dont have a mid range guy except for randle but randle like to bully to the paint if hes got space in front of him instead of taking the open mid range. randle cant shoot a 2

  3. Look at the 3 pt shooting and field goal percentage. Horrendous. Even with all the turnovers they still had a shot unfortunately they couldn’t hit the broad side of a barn.

  4. Gotta go under the picks some time give up the low percentage shot no layups and long rebound to get out on the fast break Coach 👍

  5. High pick and roll they play down hill all game in the half Court can't let them get down hill give up the three sometime but not to Donovan

  6. Subtract minutes from RJ, more minutes for toppin, get Grimes and Quickly involved, be more vocal with players about bad tendencies, and get turnovers under control.

  7. Knicks started off well then the turnovers began got complacent on defense then the officials took them out of the game in the first half. For the most part the foul calls were going in favor of Cleveland.

  8. thibs needs to step up and do a much better job preparing us for these types of games. we had absolutely no second scheme on defense for the cavs ball movement. slow switches, bad off the rolls—prepare your squad man! you're supposed to be a defensive genius

  9. All these "casual " knicks fans wanna now be the coach of the knicks. Where were these people the last 47 yrs before tibs. Go lay down somewhere.

  10. Thibs is getting by because the team is winning
    He continues to let Julius run the team. No way should he or any other starters need to be in the game with 4 minutes left and game is out of reach. His answer is Julius wanted to get a rhythm. So does Fournier and others that don't play. Julius is not the coach. Smh

  11. Knicks now get a little rest/recovery. The Cav's needed the 2nd game.
    Otherwise their season was over. What the Cav's didn't and don't know:
    Their season is over anyway. Knicks in 5.

  12. When cavs played like ass, knicks beat em only by 4, when cavs playin their true style cavs basket ball, knicks simply no match…🤷🏻

  13. This playoff series we need Jb, Quickley, Grimes, Randles,Mitch.

    We need more time for Obi and quick, less so for RJ. More time with Mitch in closing minutes to help with defense.

  14. I have been watching some hightlight on Dequan Jeffery…and the kid have some skill…tibs need to look at him for Rj is not working out..he is big enough to play sf/sg..and his quicker than Rj..and a better athlete..it wouldn't hurt..but tibs is to tunnel vision…r don't know what he have on his bench..

  15. The way the cavs are leaving our centers untouched. They could go for 20 down there.

  16. Thibs made no adjustments even when 3 defenders were waiting in the paint for the drive. Knicks need to move the ball and get better 3ball looks for Friday. There was too much one and one and the Cavs just swarmed the ball. Hope Thibs look at the film for real and see who is stopping the ball. The best games was when RJ and Randle were out.
