Let Thibs coach a team with another player on Brunson's level or above it then you can blast him to space if they can't get to the finals
The roster isn’t an excuse anymore, we have talent on this team. I’m not saying we have enough talent to have won the finals this year but we could’ve went further with a better coach, simple as that
A better coach beats the 8th seed Heat that are missing their 2nd offensive option, give Spo our team and we smoke them
Yes, enough talent to win 35-45 games. A team with RJ and Randle as #2 and #3 isn't doing anything more than that.

Celtics coach literally looks like an NBA referee.

Bro we got beat by Jimmy (who wasn’t 100%) with Kyle Lowry in 2023, Bam and a bunch up spot up shooters. If we lost to the Bucks or Celtics I’m not talking like this
When we lost to Atlanta you could honestly say they had more talent than us, you can’t say the same with this series
Watch when Boston/Philly beats the Heat in 5 and we sitting here thinking about what could’ve been
Boston would've swept y'all
Boston would've swept y'all
The same way y'all were supposed to sweep the Sixers with a hobbled Embiid right?

spo is the best coach in the league by far rn. that’s not comparable. thibs is a great coach, we didn’t lose solely because of him. this is why the knicks never go anywhere, cause we always want to blow it up every year.
thibs hate is so low ball iq. name another coach better than thibs available. the only one i can think of is nick nurse and his teams have been under achieving. miami literally beat the best team in the league before us. it’s so dumb cause knick fans are always ungrateful and and do not understand chemistry and the value of multiple years with the same squad. if rj doesn’t shoot 1 for 10 then we win this series. this doesn’t mean we have to blow ship for things that can be adjusted next year
not to mention the ONLY reason brunson came here is because his dad is on staff. and thibs hired rick brunson because he was a former player of his. take that as you will but he changed the entire culture here after decades of losing. ya’ll always want players to be loyal to teams but never want to be loyal back 🤷🏻‍♂️
Acting like Thibs didn’t play a major part in us losing this series is insane. We lost to an inferior team and he was throughly outcoached.
Hart over Grimes in the starting lineup threw all rhythm off. It’s not coincidence we start playing better when we go back to the original starting lineup
Why did Grimes only come in with like 2 mins left in the 4th?
We did he not stager Brunson and Julius? That bench lineup in the 2nd screwed us
Why did we constantly send 2-3 people at a hobbled Jimmy butler when Grimes defended him well 1v1?
Why can we still not beat a zone 3 years later??? We have Hartenstein an amazing passing big, dump the ball to him at the elbow and high post and let him break the zone.
Some coaches change the culture and bring you to the playoffs( Mark Jackson, Dwayne Casey) and then you get a coach to win you the chip ( Kerr, Nurse)

I disagree. We have regular season players led by our ALL NBA player Julius Randle. These guys cannot play in the playoffs and it was evident by like game 3 in Cleveland. If we want to be a serious team, Randle cannot be our 2nd best player. RJ needs a jump shot badly. If he can’t get one he cannot be on this team.Quickley had the worst playoff cameo I’ve ever seen. Like not one postive, and he cannot be trusted.
Brunson is a star and this is just the beginning. The real trick moving forward is cashing in our assets for the right piece because there isn’t a team with more assets than us besides the thunder (who aren’t trading there’s anyway).
This a wild ass comment but I'll let you rock cause you love Thibsdale so much.
Read the previous comment, I'm talking about basketball culture in general now. The hook on these coaches are waaaay to quick if Nick Nurse, Frank Vogel and Mike Budenholzer are getting let go right after winning actual championships lol.

Real one
Throwing a cape on for a nigga who was bouta be fired in the middle of the season for doing the same exact s*** he ended up doing in the second round of the playoffs is definitely some mentally deficient kinda energy
Randle pissed me off for a bulk of the playoffs, but I'll still give him props for the regular season. It's that performance that will actually give him a chance for next season unless a great offer comes up.
But Thibs? Get him the f*** out of here and give Johnnie Bryant the keys.

I don’t want to blow it up I want a different coach, I give thibs props for establishing us but he’s not the one to take us to the next level

Like I said we shouldn’t have been expecting to make the finals this year with our roster but the roster we had was enough to win this series and this year we had a path to do something really special
Thibs isn’t getting fired tho let’s be real, who are realistic targets to put us over the top?

The roster on paper/regular season wise was good enough
We’ve seen guys be studs in the regular season and in the playoffs get played off the court. We just discovered that most of this squad is filled with those guys🤷🏿‍♂️
