How come the Knicks don't have play makers too??
WE DO NOT KEEP OUR MAN INFRONT OF US. CAM IS THE BEST AT IT ON THIS TEAM
Thibbs in trouble dude. We dont look like we play modern basketball thats why everytime we play a good team were playing catch up
The fact is they move the ball on offense we don't if we have ball movement and allow their defense to move instead of standing around watching we would be a better team all we do is play one on one.
Julius Randle excuses back to back SMH SON YOU ARE GETTING PAID MILLIONS AND YOU GIVING EXCUSES ABOUT BACK TO BACK?..
Thibs is toast, this team has been awful to start the season the wins have come against nobody's, Philly had a second rate team out there yesterday without Embiid and Harden and still almost beat the Knicks, Charlotte didn't have Rozier or Ball and the Knicks had to sweat for that win at home, they stink and it is time for a change at coach and roster too or this team will be back in the lottery hoping for ping pong balls to fall their way, it's bad right now.
thibs you stink man what was the game plan going in giving up open threes on every possession never seen anything like it what a joke
Knicks allowed way too many 3s. How many? 27 3s? That's just awful D. They need to improve on their defense, and stop giving the other team too many open spaces, that's how they get embarrassed out there. And I don't want one day that Thibs gets fired.
Fell short against the best tonight. Gotta clean up the def rotations
Time to FIRE this Fossil of a Coach The Team hasn't Defended the Perimeter Shooting at All in any Game We've Played This Season And this guy can't Fix This Just like He can't Fix his Horrible decisions on Rotations WTF this goes Back to Last Year's Antics With Burks not a Point Guard Playing that Position and Bumblin Fumblin and Stumblin No Defense Julius ComeFoolius Randle Constantly trying to be a Point Forward and Losing the Ball and Absolutely no Defense Fournier a waste of KNICK Money going down the Drain and this Goes All the way back to when We got Whupped in the Playoffs by Trae Punk Boy Young and the Hawks After thoroughly beating Their Behinds during that Season And Thibideau is Now Only a Part of the 51 Years of the Failure That We have no Championships in MSG
Great effort tonight. The Celtics are title contenders and have been lighting teams up
This clown is clueless, his defensive coaching is overrated!!!
Why play Julius 12 minutes in a quarter?
Thibs sounds like a crooked car salesman…
Worst defense on 3's I ever seen…
For a defensive oriented coach our players don't seem to have a defensive identity. And what ever happened to man to man coverage? Is that a thing of the past? Forget about switching. Switch that mentality and stay glued to your assignment and maybe we won't have "defensive struggles"
The problem is the stats and the game play are night and day. Third in perimeter defense but there's very little to no close outs or contests on shooters. Can't lean on stats when the standings show another story
Big fella CAN block threes. Message to Randle: If you guard your assignment on the perimeter you won't have to worry about "big fella blocking threes". EFFORT
The problem is we needed to match Boston with small ball down the stretch, and our coach lack of adjusting are going to cost us at least 10 – 20 games this year. Fournier minutes should of been limited especially the second half; and THIS GAME WE NEEDED TO PLAY DEUCE. Why do we have deuce and not play him, especially on the perimeter or against key offensive guards. HE CAME OUT OF COLLEGE A DEFENSIVE SPECIALIST. We're going to be at a stalemate with Thibbs. Our talent can compete and win against anyone, but Thibbs hold us back
