How much longer does Thibs have on his contract? His poor rotation management is killing this team

“Knicks, I dub thee, Even Steven.”

Any chance Randle can use the $20 he thought he lost as down payment on a bus ticket out of town?

Hey Cyber,

You know I’m just playing, of course, and complimenting your deft contributions to the discourse. Most important is for you (and every KB-er) to live well, first. Then we can all tilt at our windmills. Sending you as much cyber-strength as I can muster through the internet’s tubes as we close out 2022.

You know that Seinfeld episode where Jerry talks about how everything evens out? We’re now 18-18 – we beat some good teams without their best player and tonight we lost to a shitty team without 2 of our starters. And it might happen again on Saturday.

It all evens out….

Great call, D-Mar. I was actually thinking of that episode while watching last night.

Knicks, I dub thee, Even Steven.

And bravo, fellas, on a great game thread. This blog’s artistic peak happens when the Knicks are at their worst. One of my favorite bits of this season has been Noble and Z-Man passively aggressive subtweeting each other every time Mitch plays well or not well.

There is a certain logic to blaming our European fans. I’m pretty sure Cyber skipped both the Dallas and San Antonio games. And Max skipped tonight, I think.

Hey KBA, thanks for the shoutout. I actually watched the 1st quarter last night, so in time to watch that end of quarter blunder. And then i fell asleep. Looks like it was for the best, but i still thought we would turn the game around. So today i did what i always do, and started by reading the game thread without knowing the score. That way i went through all the emotions of the game too. Maybe i’m to blame, because i watched only the beginning of the Bulls game, and didn’t watch Sixers and Mavs games. I’m having a rough end of the year, maybe i’ll be more active next year.

It’s weird how the issue with Thibs has been with his in-game coaching and not his ability to teach the kids. We all assumed the opposite would be true.

In reply to Early Bird.

“They’re great in practice. Games are really just warm-ups for practice.”

I really think it has something to do with Thibs having a very specific way of doing things, and it doesn’t respond well to plug-and-play guys. But, like, every other team in the NBA routinely has plug-and-play guys during the season (the Nets seem to go through dozens)! How hard can it possibly be?

This team is just too boring to keep entertaining with any consistency. I have a half-eaten, five-day-old bowl of cereal that deserves WAY more scrutiny than Thibs’ clearly moronic 9-man rotations.

Also, with RJ hurt, Brunson ailing and Rose totally finished, why in the world aren’t the Knicks at least trying to sign someone to fill out the back of the roster who might actually be able to get some minutes? Why are Svi and Arcidiacono even on the team if they’re never going to play and they’re not trade bait and/or sunk costs?
