Knicks Film School July 4 Podcast, What Can (Mike) Brown Do For You. Starts at the 29:50 mark

Maybe if they had practiced more with the bench, it wouldnt have been such an ISO heavy squad. Brown Im guessing will take a different approach.

I remember reading about Riley wanting his practices to be so brutal that the rest of the league would feel like a break.

Sure dont want to see those days come back, different league back then. But Brown might be the happy medium when it comes to practices.

So they were talking about Thibs teams being known to practice a lot before NY. They attributed his possibly adjustment to having a veteran team in NY for him not practicing or doing shoot around often. I was commenting on the podcast above, not some personal narrative. I guess you can’t listen to the roughly 5 min of the podcast unless you have an I phone?

No this wasn’t directed at you. I am just saying over the years I heard his practices were tough and players were overworked, until that totally flipped and somehow the perception became the complete opposite. Just saying people complained about thibs just to complain, to the point where they couldn’t decide which extreme they wanted to complain about.

Next year is basically run it back with a better bench

had a weak bench. Starters played more minutes. Practices for them were kept easy. Established ourselves as one of the best conditioned teams in the playoffs with strong finishes and a healthy roster. Time to let the Thibs stuff go. Guy built a culture here and fans should be sending him flowers.

Next year is basically run it back with a better bench

The bench was top ten in ppm. So it’s not a matter of them sucking, it was a matter of them not getting any minutes. Less than any other team in the league, in spite of that stat.

lol and Knicks were a top 10 offense... statistically. And then there are some who watch the games. That would help your analysis

Sure you watch the games..

Thib's bench sitting, starter grinding ass is gone. Thats all the analysis I want or need. Glad ownership and mgmt dont agree with your analysis of the bench.

It was more about the players figuring it out on the court. I take this as they would do most of the work in film sessions and the players would have to figure it out and implement the schemes in game. Corrections again would be made in film sessions and maybe even individually and not as a group.

There were articles and statements about this during this season.

A lot of it is what you consider practice. I think it was both Josh and maybe one of the reporters who noted that they didn't run much full on 5 v 5 full court practices during the season.

After that, it's just a long season and you practice when you can work on and with whom.

Feel like only the Knicks fans care about this, no other team has this level of attention.

Other teams didnt set records for playing their starters going back decades. So what they did in practice carried more weight than every other team who didnt keep their starters on the court as much as the Knicks. Glad thats over.

Every Knick healthy at the end of the year. There's nothing else to discuss... unless you want to go on about how the bench forgot how to play basketball because Thibs didnt play them enough.

Lots of other teams didn't make the conference finals or get as injured as the Knicks.

This beating of the dead horses is about as titillating as watching grass grow. But thanks again for pointing out the obvious a millionth time for the slow followers of the Knicks.

Now its a "dead horse?" Guess you were the last one to ride it.

This is the first time I heard this and I follow the team pretty closely. I just assumed that we held practice when we had the extra day between games. The team always looked like they played more team oriented ball after the extra day. I also assumed that the players were working on skills like shooting drill on the off day but now that I think about it, they couldn’t even make free throws so they probably weren’t working that much between games.

I’m also starting to think that Jalen Brunsons continued growth is a byproduct of his Dad being his coach and making him work hard individually. Bridges and Hart looked like they regressed offensively and Towns was relying a lot on his physical advantages rather than working his ass off to improve. All speculation but having watched almost every game it does put things into perspective especially the teams shooting inefficiency and struggling to make a free throws consistently

I don't think practice and whatnot is as black and white as you suggest above.
