I think the Knicks might be at the "Thibs approaching expiration" phase in the Tom Thibodeau experience


How yall feeling?

@AZTG

@Ironman
I think it's time. But that's not gonna be enough. We really need to look at ways of getting true depth for this team to give the next coach a chance.

I think this Knicks team isn't as good as last year's team right after the OG trade and Iharts emergence after Mitch's injury.

I know the big domino that fell was IHart leaving and we had no control over that. Knicks couldnt pay him under any circumstance and I understand why he left.

That and Mitch being injured then made us desperate for a big man and we destroyed depth to get the worst defensive big man in the game.

I would have loved giving last year's team a chance before making major move but oh well.

KAT so far has definitely made us a better team but it's just disheartening to watch good teams switch on him or Brunson every time and knowing how that's gonna happen every game in the playoffs.

This still isn't our final form though. Mitch comes back soon and that not only significantly improves rim protection but it automatically makes OG and Bridges defend to their full capacity. The team will still have issues, cause Mitch gonna be exposed on the other end, but I expect it to look so much better with him back.

I think you nailed everything to the tee

The good news imo is everything you said we knew coming into the season...

We knew the depth was limited
We knew Mitch was injury prone
We knew good teams were going to attack Brunson and Towns
We knew the Knicks were going to have a top 5 offense


This season is pretty much playing out exactly how you would've expected but like you said this was never the final form of this team, it was still about evaluating and seeing what works and what doesn't

That's what led me to the Thibs situation...I think it might be a case of a coach doing a good job establishing a team and giving them credibility but someone else has to take them to the next level
 
When the rockets fall to the play in and I gotta hear fans tryna spin it like we had successful season

From like 2013-2017 Demarcus Cousins was a complete monster

Truly a talent that was ahead of his time...Josh Smith too

Another reason why the Kings piss me off so much, I'll never forgive them for what they did to Cousins

It's also crazy thinking about it now how he went to New Orleans and immediately blew out his achilles....like wtf is going on down there smh


 
Spo would have the knicks cooking. Might be time for Leon and dem to see what the business is.

Miami gonna be a mid pack for the foreseeable future.
