Thibs
« Reply #25005 on: September 29, 2022, 07:44:21 PM »

Thibs is THIBS. 

He has an approach and a culture. 

Third year, same coach. 

Meanwhile in WET YOUR PANTS LAND. 

What did Spiro Agnew say?  NATTERING NABOBS OF NEGATIVITY?  Pretty good for a No Lo Contendre Felon. 

In any event, out in the blogosphere, and in FACEBOOK postings, Knicks' "Fans" once again distinguishing themselves as some of the most relentlessly dreary motherfuckers on the planet. 

Trade Them.

Fire Him.

We SUCK. 

Sigh. 

As for our coach? 

There is much to admire and respect, and elsewise, stuff to give one pause. 

A mixed grille of earthly delights. 

STILL, a relentless drone of FIRE TOM THIBODEAU. 

Sigh. 

Love him or leave him, there is something to be said for a culture and a system, for continuity and stability. 

We here on this forum are going to be debating the merits and faux pas of Tom Thobodeau in due course.  This coming Tuesday night, we tee off against the upstart Pistons.  Kemba is not in camp.  Burks is hurting.  Might we see Noel?  I am really curious about Ivey and Duren.  And Cunningham.  They look to be a feisty brood of young jackals. 

Be that as it may...

THIBS. 

As the opening shot across the bow in this forum debate, allow me to note that for someone who "hates" kids, Thibs HAS a SYSTEM, HAS made some strides in player development and I mean, FIRE THIBS

Fuck You. 

I'm not saying he ain't on the clock--EVERYONE IS ON THE CLOCK since JVG left town. 

However, since Van Gundy bolted, it is worth noting that there are only TWO COACHES in the past twenty years who possess a cumulative winning record, and who have ANY playoff wins

Mike Woodson
Tom Thibodeau

Just saying

See more positive than negative in our fans as far as win total.  Most have the OVER on 39.5 wins - and most of those WELL over (43+)

No idea what you mean here. This has always been the expected lineup.

(first and second teams)

Yeah, I'd prefer Grimes in the first crew....but we'll see.

Third year, same coach......

I'm not part of the "Fire Thib" movement you're talking about. I get his strong points.

But when you defend the dude, you skip totally over how bad his performance was last year. It wasn't his fault he more or less lost two point guards, but his failure to adjust is undeniable. His use of Burks didn't work...but he stuck with it.

And together with Julius Ball (also his responsibility), the Knicks has the most predictable offense in the NBA.

You note Thibs has done better than most of his predecessors. That's a low bar! And many of those guys had far crappier teams than what Thibs was given.

Burks was our best perimeter guy last year.  I sur hope there aren't pangs of "we sure miss Alec" like when we were missing Payton.
