Thibs was in a no win situation. If he played his starters, the minutes police would’ve gave him a ticket. Or not play the starters, lose 4 straight and have no rhythm. Can’t win Thibs. Just make it up in the playoffs.

If we kept Devo and moved Hart we'd be much better!

Im an optimist. Also why get mad at **** that has not happend yet?
I get it, knicks win "they supposed to" and its relief. If not, you mad and want someone to "answer for it". They exacted pain and you need to blame someone. The fan feels hopeless and powerless. Thus the call for firing and the hope someone who won a chip can bring that leadership and repeat his history. Since the hopeless fan has no real knowledge only what they see on tv and fed by the media it would make them feel better.

"Makes no adjustments". This after a loss. if a win "sticks with tried and proven". If loss "Stubborn and won't change".
Facts are not relevant to the emotions of the fan. They are non consolable.

Should we never fire Thibs? Well yes, there are conditions by which it could occur. Yes. When the team won't listen and he loses the locker room. Or, after few playoff cycles with the same core they hit their ceiling.

WE there yet?

Fuck the Pistons. Let them bring what they bring. right now I want OG's finger to feel ok, and if not, im good with him getting cade under control. I don't care about the 5 picks that might or might not be good ones if we finish top 5 in the league because we might lost to pistons. If and when that happens then deal with it. Seems we never happy with Randle, Kat, Bridges, OG adn Brunson these days for some of you who just get all despondent and seem to almost enjoy the swill of misery. Want a new starphuch or forget the bad parts of by gone players game. Divo swagger was cool, but it was not consistent. Randle? Always hurt right? Y'all harped on that Atlanta series with is bad ankle cuz that how that series ended, and of Course he hurt his shoulder and he'd never be better. Now he playing great after an up and down season and we want him back? Who plays center all year long? Sims? Mitch been back just 30 games and with restrictions. Kat is not perfect, just an all star and all NBA.

You don't have belief? Or don't have an imagination? We .500 against teams over .500 but can't beat 3 teams ahead of us. That the big thing and you guys want the coach fired??

Im not worried about the first round . We should destroy our first round opponent

I’m worried about round 2…. Our team is on a trend to fade in the second half that can’t happen in the playoffs .

Be careful. Those are fighting words. You might be jumped saying that too loud.
I think iHart had a huge impact on this team. Devo as well, with his energy and spreading the floor. Josh Hart is not a PF. He's playing out of position, and you can't have him on the floor unless there's 4 shooters around him. Just makes it hard on the offense, if Harts man is playing zone defense. Add Mitch and Hart, thats 2 guys playing zone and 3 playing man. With iHart and Devo, you have to guard them. Will be interesting how Thibs works his magic with these on court rotations.
