I have to say, it would be nice to getting 27 assists or more per game.

WOW . Just woke to the news and this amazing thread.

Agree with all the praise for Thibs getting us back to contention. Happy also to see him go now.

Main point to me: Rose obvs thinks the roster he built is NOT the problem. Let’s hope he’s correct. I think he is.

Also, should Steve Nash be added to the list? Not bc I think he’s amazing (I don’t know enough about his coaching) but —

Steve Nash is a longtime mentor of Jalen Brunson, no? Seems Rose-y. And Nash = Passing, which we never (ever) do.

If Alan could just learn to speak Teague he could tell is everything. Hubert could translate.

Someone just suggested Chris Paul as the next head coach, and it makes so much sense…

That’s pretty interesting

I’ve been listening to other pundits too, and unlike Dunc’d On, they are appalled by the firing (just like someone said above). My feeling is they are mostly not very analytical and just look at the Knicks record. But there can always be stuff behind the scenes that cause a firing that aren’t just about the record. And Knicks had a talented team that was expected to win 50 plus games. Some other coach should be able to win that many games too. I hope so.

In the 170 minutes with Hart and Precious off and KAT & Brunson on, including the playoffs, the Knicks had a 123.53 offensive rating and a 126.72 defensive rating.

The 103 minutes in the playoffs, they had a 121.13 ORtg and a 126.89 drtg.

The 66 minutes in the regular season, they had a 127.08 offensive rating and a 126.47 defensive rating.

For reference, the best offense in the league had a 121 offensive rating and the worst defense had a 120 defensive rating.

I just listened the new Dunc’d On podcast (a free one) discussing this. They were in favor of firing Thibs because they thought his offense wasn’t good enough. But weirdly, they also think the team will be worse under the next coach. Of course that’s a possibility, but if you expect that why be in favor of the firing?

They can’t handle prosperity

Are they really now knocking on the doors of other teams to get permission to lure away their coaches? What a misery.
