Mikal Bridges is a horrible Point Of Attack defender. Halliburton cooked him. He was next to Hart as absolute garbage tonight.

Why haven’t we been the aggressive team?

Thibs’ mantra of “the game tells you what to do” is probably why. It’s a reactive mindset that concedes initiative to the opponent.

Something I don’t understand. Indiana has been playing Brunson super-physically, picking him up the entire length of the floor and fouling him multiple times on almost every play. He shot 12 free throws tonight. It could have been 20 or more. Why haven’t we been doing this to them whenever we can? Why haven’t we been the aggressive team?

maybe we’re simply experiencing this Pacers’ storyline from a shitty perspective…maybe this thing isn’t so much about us…

Josh hart put the team in a bad spot with all those turnovers – the Pacers though are playing really good team ball…

(Also, if it wasn’t already clear, I have a lot of respect for Thibs. The fact that we can’t win with him doesn’t mean we can’t love him for what he’s done. He’s been by far the best coach since JVG and that deserves a tremendous amount of gratitude. That said, I want to dream. I don’t like retreads in my work life, do you think I should settle for it in sports?)

There’s no shame in being the Dwayne Casey for this team.

We shall see with Leon, but Thibs doesn’t have the chops to get a team to the top. He makes you respectable , but he has a limit.

When I say Brunson, Trae and Ja are similar, I am not saying they are bad. Before Ja’s injury/legal troubles, he was discussed as a potential MVP (eventually).

Rose and Thibs got a sucking team and brought it to the ecf in a few years wo lucky drafts or superstar preference.
Giving them a shot is more than deserved imo

Rose may be thinking this, but he risk losing a large portion of the fan base who won’t watch anymore Thibs ball.

The Knicks fan base has been loyal through the last 25 years, which consisted of an awful 2001 – 2010, the dashed hopes of Linsanity & Melo, the false hope of Porzingis and the last five years of competence. I do not think the Brass will worry that the fans will go away if Thibs comes back.
