Thibs is no doubt historically over enthusiastic about coaching and over does it. Players and coaches have a certain time they can be together. Larry Brown understood he was a dick and moved on. He got results until he got with Isiah. Two of them were awful.

“Thibs did not play Jimmy Butler his rookie year”. The assumption is in hindsight if he played him sooner he’d have been an allstar sooner. Thats fine, but not all rookies that don’t play become allstars do they? Back story is why did he not get minutes and what did he have to do/prove/improve on to get those minutes? cherry picking some but not others is not a full spectrum.

Our last two coaches are polar opposites. Fiz played the kids as he had little to play with otherwise and I think we were in a bit of a tank mode AFTER KP did not return. He played Frank and Knox. It did not move the dial. It happens. Not all players respond the same. I reapeat, not all players respond the same. Then how does one know? Hindsight.

Its amazing to see that Deuce can light up the Gleague but does not come close in the NBA yet. I know Clyde is in all our heads with his comments but CLyde is not entirely correct in his statements. He is doing hindsight commentary and thus asks the same questions but it fuels “SO, PLAY DEUCE MORE THEN!!!!”. Very subliminal what he does. Clyde was my favorite knick like ever but he is not always correct. He is subjective and those opinions are open. Its cool, so are yours and mine.

Duece is playing adnd contributing. Well, he is. At this juncture Clean and Thibs are aligned. LOL!!!!!

Is he ready to drive the team or need he ease into it? Chicken or the egg. We’ll see. Im hoping Johnny Bryan secret sauce is working.

4 game winning streak. Enjoy.

As for Jimmy? Three seasons might be his limit with Spo? Jimmy is very head strong and Spo has tenure with Heat. I wonder if their plan is for him to contiue or move up to team president like Riley did if and when Riles is ready to kick back. Brad Stevens in Celtics did this.

The bold is definitely right at this moment in time. After listening to his latest interview I thought I was the one talking for a second. It sucks he took this long to get here but I am glad he is here now and I hope he stays with the same thinking going into next season. Put the people on the floor who will help you win no matter the years in the league, draft position or contract amount.

IQ had made passes like that before tbh

What’s up with this cheap-ass unfinished-looking set?

I don’t know why it bothers me, but it does.

Why it take so long? Lets just say maybe its better to be patient and put him in a position were he can succeed rather than not. That he can get on the court, do HIS things well and stash him in the corner while getting his rhythm and pace down without being a drag on the team. Hit the shots an find it, more to follow.
Thats waht Im seeing with him. Not some latent star being held back by stubbornness.

Heh heh heh....

The Lakers have 3 max players, 5 HOFs... and have a worse record than the Knicks.

Thibs has zero starting level PGs, not much of a C rotation for most of the season, and has his team playing better than the Lakers. Take that for data

Lakers made the moves many fans and media wanted and pressured the Knicks to make.

I believe the Lakers would be in a much better position today if they handed the keys to Westbrook from day 1. Let him eat and have Bron and AD play off of him.

Westbrook has all the keys now and lays a -25 against the Mavs. Thank god he scored 25 points though.

Bronnie probably skipping the rest of the season now that he's out of the playoffs. Another fabulous GOAT move. LMAO

I think Bill Russell once said nothing short of a broken leg or broken back is a good enough excuse.

I would think he comes back to add points to the Kareem chase.
Bron is a lot of things but given his age and miles he is not a cupcake.
he is breaking down but when he plays he is doing it a high level. Its a team game, its not just him.

I love Bill Russell and those 11 chips out of 13 makes him the winning GOAT but he’ll tell you its 5 guys on the court. He’ll also tell you why the team game got them chips vs. Wilt.
Did we forget Lakers won a chip with Lebron?
Dude, you don’t have to like him but disrespect the career is a bit jaded. Given your MeloCentric nature and sensitivity I’d think you be past that.
