The Coach didn't utilize his bench. Point Blank.
Knicks need to trade Randle. He’s talented but not good for the team chemistry or culture.
Get rid of Randle and try to get something back for him.
Thibs need to go
He's not the men for the job
Anything coming out of Lopresti’s useless mouth is an immediate no-go for me.
Knicks should hire Ime udoka they would be crazy if they didn’t
Wow Lopresti made it big now lol…
Randle, gone…Barrett, gone…Robinson, gone…if it were up to me
I'm not asking for Thibs to get fired, that's not my style, but I wouldn't have a problem with it if they did, but who's out there if they do. Anyway it's time people started saying the same thing about coaches that they do with superstar players, like when a superstar doesn't have a chip they start questioning them. Well how about coaches, Thibs has been around a long time as a head coach, and I don't think he even got a team to the conference finals, less more more the finals, just something to think about.
Also I'm not sure Randle is built for the big stage, and I'm not just talking about the playoffs, I'm talking about NY, just not sure he's built for this city.
If quickley is one of your best shooters that tells you everything you need to know…
The answer for randle would surprisingly be KAT.. I really don’t want to see him go but at this point it’s time to realize that he either has to shape up or ship out.
Give up LF and randle with 2 of those picks that we have and we can get KAT and another young player.
KAT isn’t the end all be all but imo I believe it might just be a good fit for our current situation. He’s a scorer, decent defense and he’s also from the area.
We just have to make sure he’s healthy which is a big question mark as of late.
Yall got CP The Fanchise on yall roster and yall got these 2 talking Knicks? Big fail SNY
Trade or cut Julius Randle 🤡 as #1 mission for the Knicks. Make RJ Barrett and Mitchel Robinson a bench player again, if they don't like it. Be trade.
The knicks can easily clear their salary cap 💰 and get better players.
Thibs and Randle needs to go
Randle and Barrett Knicks need to trade those guys for good shooters to give jalen Brunson a chance to make the finals 😂
Move Randle and sign Seth curry and jae crowder
Everyone is being to rough on Julius. Let remind everyone that he was playing on a bad ankle.
We need a PG that can make other players better & score easy, and run a real offensive set. A PG that avg 5-8 assist a game, nothing most PG don't produce. His points aside, Brunson isn't the PG we need. He's a small SG. Move hime to the 2..Barrett to his natural pos the 3..Toppin & Mitch or whoever we got for Randle
I want Thibs on unemployment by 6PM tomorrow
R J , he was the 3rd pick in the draft and J Morant and Zion have been a in character disappointment and injury disappointment.and R J has been available eventhough his scoring and defense has been up and down, he Still a Knick i'm proud of, our starters or top 9 have less than 2 years of playoff experience''.Julius has never been in playoffs until becoming a knick 2years R J 2 years I Q 2years Mitch 1year because of injury Hart 1 year . first time in playoff. Obi 2 years in playoffs Grimes 1 year. I 'm saying lets give them a little slack. WHAT A FUTURE !!! GO KNICKS!!
Are you surprised the New York Knicks got eliminated they been getting eliminated for the last 30 years or better
sign 2 more big superstars.
Put on Obi that is why he was drafted… to replace Julius. Give Obo 35 minutes a game snd i bet he can put up numbers.
Either downgrade randle from a luigi to a toad or trade him, he can’t be a luigi anymore, get a Mario to pair with Brunson's Luigi
What The Knicks have on their side is time. It's not like you have an aging superstar that you have to make a desperate move to try to help win a title for like Ewing days. We're not like Phoenix Suns ,76ers or even though Lakers. We have youth on good contracts.
IQ wants to be a starter, so Knicks will have to deal him. RJ is young. He’s a keeper- he’ll get better. Randle needs to go- low IQ. Toppin must be signed for rotation. Sign KP as a FA- better than Randle and plays D. Trade away Fournier. Drop Rose.
Brunson: What's not to like? Talented warrior with the heart of a champion.
Randle: Bye. Not just because he chokes in playoffs, but also too much negative energy.
Grimes: Keep, but thought his growth would be a bit more this year.
Fournier: Bye. I know we need shooting, but he's too expensive and a turnstile on defense.
McBride: Like him. Lockdown defender, needs to play 10-15 minutes consistently.
Barrett: Going into 5th year! Give 1 more to see growth, zero touch, dumb turnovers.
Hart: Keep for sure. A tough, high energy dude off the bench for 20-25 minutes a game.
Toppin: Love his hops and energy. Keep, but needs a post game and MUCH better defense.
Quickley: Keep. Weak couple of playoff games, but still young and improving. High on him.
Rose: Much respect. Still fuel in the tank, but wish would retire and join our coaching staff.
Robinson: Keep, but work on that fragile body and learn some arc on free throws.
Hartenstein: Keep, good energy blue collar back-up for 20 minutes a game.
Sims: Keep. Tough, uber-athletic, and still growing as a player.
Thibodeau: Bye. Zero offensive strategy, voted least likely to want to play for (free agents!).
Haven't heard of Sal and Chris before but I enjoyed this and agreed with most of it!
Randle has to go
good that the
young ones got playoff experience
Grimes and robinson got to go. I know everyone is bashing julius randle but he sprained his ankle twice and didn't sit out the entire series.
The problem is Thibs running these players into the ground during the regular season and not preparing them for the playoffs. Randle is a big guy. He needs 6-8 games to rest during the season.
You can’t run him into the ground and then expect him to perform during the heightened pressure in the playoffs. They need to prepare for the playoff a little better during the regular season.
Did he say clumsy? He talking about Randle?
Excellent takes, you all should do this more often!
If some coach can improve Randle's mental toughness, I think the Knicks could be great.
I like the way Barrett played overall in the playoffs, he showed a tone of improved confidence and commitment to drive the ball. He is only 22 and a ton of upside. Plus, he’s got leadership qualities, that bode well for the Knick culture.
I'm going to stand by Randle, RJ, Robinson as a part of our starting players. Brunson needs no introduction as this is his playground now.
I'm going to stand by Grimes, Quick, Hartenstein, Topin as a part of our deep bench.
I'm going to promote more pickups in free agency like Josh Hart. We need solid backup people to back up our starters with effective players, to help take the massive minutes off our starters and help give that extra punch.
Folks we are one to two solid backup players away from taking this team to the next levels. We're close. We were only 5 points away from making this a seven game series. I believe we came up short because of that burnout + plus a key injury we cannot afford. WE NEED EXTRA BACKUP! That's all it is. We don't need to trade, they never work for us anyway.
Knicks need to get Brandon Ingram and possibly Desmond Bane. The coach does not know how to coach ball movement or team defense. We're not getting KAT or Giannis or Damien Lillard.
