Oh I don’t know, the cognitive dissonance of Thibs Got Fired alongside Judge Sucks kind of cancel each other out…

Ras, read the room and read the date. Or better yet, go to your mets blog.

Not sure why you chose a Knicks blog to troll the Yankees.

“Why Michael Jordan’s playoff results hurts his legacy.” by ras on July 3rd, 1990

Aaron Judge’s most memorable postseason moment was dropping a catch that a little league outfielder makes 9/10.

Based on common sense and Rose’s usual approach, my guess is that he’s been quietly preparing a contingency plan to replace Thibs for some time.

What surprises me is that the Knicks front office seems to have shared our critical view of Thibs’ coaching — and wasn’t afraid to make a move despite the goodwill from reaching the Eastern Conference Finals.

This move takes guts. It suggests Leon either has real job security or is ready to take full accountability with the target now squarely on his back.

DAMN!

So I’ve been a lot more pro Thibs than others and it scares me bc Thibs baseline is good team. He also just coached us to the ECF.

BUT, it does show that Leon knows there are issues on offense that Thibs is not capable of fixing. It also says “no one is untouchable” which is a good sign in many ways.

Excited/nervous for what is next. Just as long as it’s not Rick Brunson getting promoted.

Wow. Can’t believe they actually pulled the trigger.

Edit: ras, you are probably right.

Leon would not have made this bold of a move so quickly after elimination if he didn’t already have a replacement in mind.

Wild. I thought he needed to go, but after an ECF appearance I wasn’t convinced he would. He’s been fairly aggressive in trying to improve the team overall.

It’s good to know Leon isn’t just sticking with his guy.

Tempted to see Mikal under another coach.
