Yes fire him… The benefit, get better offensive and defensive schemes. On offense, I would start hartenstein. … Gives space for RJ and Julius. Have a motions offense for Grimes and Quickly ( think Rick Hamilton) to get them some good shots and keep the other team.
defense on heel.
On defense, go between man to man… Switching (for when other teams are on a 3 point run) and occasional zone…. Just to throw off the offensive team.
All what I said… Thibs cannot do!
If Randle gets moved then yes give the reigns to Johnny Bryant to build something new. If we trade for Karl Anthony Towns I might just end it all.. I wouldn't give up a chopped cheese from the worst Bodega around for that bum.. Terrible contract, terrible mindset, can't stay healthy, inconsistent offense especially in big moments where he just dissapears, and his defense is absolutely horrendous. I'm 10000⁴xinfinity good on that.
Yes sir😥
Yes, please! 🙏
Gotta look at his record and see what he's accomplished. He has brought the Knicks to the playoffs 2 out of the 3 years he was here. I would say let him ride out another season. Coaching staff needs an x and I guy. He has earned his stay even tho he has plenty room for improvement
I think its clearJohnny Bryant is the heir apparent.
Absolutely.. 100%.. without a doubt…. Quick fast and in a hurry!! Thibs gotta go!
Yes Fire him. We need a coach who can teach offense and help develop our young talent
Of course not.. but with a caveat. Why not? Thibs gave us the best performance in a decade. – 2 playoff appearances, including a 2nd round this year. Compare this performance to mediocrity we had before. Compare this year to expectations – expectations were, us maybe making play-in tournament after signing Brunson. Most experts expected us to be 9-10th seed. What is the caveat? Obviously, superstar trade targets. Guys like Giannis or Luka or Embiid. Their teams massively underperformed, they fired coaches, those superstars might want out. IF they don't like This, it would be the only scenario we should part with him. I suspect that both Giannis and Embiid wouldn't mind playing for This. Luka? not so sure.
This is just stupid. Firing coaches is the main reason the Knicks are in the situation they find themselves in. You need continuity and stability. Look at how the teams that previously fired Thibs are doing. the Knicks overachieved this year. He did a great job. Don't let losing to my Heat cloud your judgement about the team. As you can see we beat Boston last night too.
Fire Thibbs absurd. Pay attention “Knick fans” players love playing for him.
You can’t fire Thibs now. The team plays hard for him. Trade Randle and get more shooters.
Knicks still talking basketball in Cancun?
I hope not. I don't want the same thing happen to Thibs like what happened to Doc Rivers.
No he did a great job. A couple injuries at the end plus the inexperience of the team in the playoffs cost us but it was a great season and I'm proud of everyone on this team. If we could just add one more consistent scorer this team can go all the way
