One thing people do is forget that we aren't privy to what happens in practice. Toppin and Knox may be showing things in practice that explains why one is getting minutes and the other isn't.

Privy to practice? 🤔 well he does say Frank works hard in practice and does all the right things. I’m sure Knox is doing the necessary things as well. But I’m starting to think that those two are not being put in good position in favor of Their picks.

You really think a guy like Thibs who wants to win at all costs is going to play people based on perception? You may disagree with his decisions, but he has shown no indication that he makes decisions based on anything other than what HE thinks gives him the best chance of winning.

What's he going to say, Frank sucks? Again, you're sure how? You don't know.

What Frank and Knox don’t want to win? I’m sure they want to win and are putting the work in. Are you saying they have no talent, they do have talent. The Knicks lost yesterday because Thibs got out coached pretty badly. Once the heat made the adjustment, Thibs didn’t make the necessary adjustments. Which was to attack the heat with more players. That is where Tibs exhibits weakness and he doesn’t see when his players are out of gas and need rest. The main reason the Knicks stopped scoring as well.

For all the home based GMs that want to have Frank and Knox get more time.... Let me introduce you to 2017,2018,2019 and 2020. When we were a laughing stock and they consistently showed nothing.
'Its over Steven!"

Btw, You guys should adopt them. That way it would be okay to brag about everything they do. Like most parents do. Even when they do not have an ounce of proof to show it's true. Lmao 🤣

I heard Mike Miller's available.

Mike Miller is America's sweetheart.

With all those draft picks that OKC has in the coming years. Even if they use some of them in deals. They'll still be cashing in lots of them.

Miller was a respected developmental coach in NY. Good situation, if they retain him.

This is about what the players are displaying to Thibs in practice that makes him believe the people who are getting minutes are who he believes gives the Knicks the best chance of winning.

"Making adjustments" is a common catch all phrase fans constantly use to explain loses and blame it on the coach. Look at the minutes distribution and it's hard to see how anybody should've been out of gas.

No coach in the NBA is going to play 12 players in a game, unless it's garbage time, or his name is Kurt Rambis

We couldn't score, and your idea of adjusting is to play frank(who already has 5 scoreless games this season) and Knox, who has the lowest IQ on the roster.

Those guys have been given plenty of opportunities (frank just had almost a full month) to crack the rotation.

They let ROOKIES (OBI, IQ) come in a take their spots, and they accepted that like a couple of soft punks..what more motivation do you need to step your game up, unless you're comfortable in your role.

The playing with a "chip on your shoulder" doesn't seem to apply to them

You emasculate Frank because he is inconsistent on Offense?

We almost reached KD levels of reaction there hahaha

Still time left in the season to get there!

Basically it amounts to fans who blame every loss on the coach and the justification is to point out anything that he didn't do and use that as the cause of the loss. Thibs didn't play Frank and Knox, that's why we lost. Thibs didn't throw Theo Pinson or Jared Harper out there, that's why we lost. Thibs didn't wear black sneakers, that's why we lost.

But.... but... Frank's doing all the "right things" in practice! Thibs (Tibs?) hasn't said anything BAD about Knox's IQ! We need shiny things! Thibs can't coach! It's why they ran him out of Minny! It's why Jimmy didn't just quit the Heat and come here!

Oh wait, are we still possibly going to make the playoffs...??? Do we have the best defense in the NBA? Do we actually have the best anything in the NBA?

Yeah, must be the stupid coach who doesn't know what he's doing.

We have the best arena?
ANd the best fans! So smart are knick fans. You can slice the sarcasm with a knife!
