The New York Knicks Are On The Brink After A Game Four Loss To The Miami Heat



Gavin Schall and Alex Wolfe break down the factors that put the New York Knicks on the brink of elimination including their utter inability to secure a rebound down the stretch, Julius Randle’s inconsistent effort and one very questionable coaching decision from Tom Thibodeau.

  1. IT IS THE COACHING!! THE ROTATIONS!! THIBS SUCKS!! I've been saying this all year. He has no sense of making adjustments. Lord please let this be the reason he gets fired and we get rid of Randle!

  2. Damn, so the Heat going to get another coach fired. Very interesting that people think so low of the Heat team that firing championship coaches and a coach who turned around a terrible franchise is the solution. Heat were in the finals in 2020, 1 shot away from the finals in 2022 as the #1 seed and #1 shooting team. This team did not come out of nowhere, everyone just not paying attention.

  3. Two questions for knicks fans…

    1. Does Thibs survive? Make a run for Nick Nurse before the bucks get him?

    2. Roster shuffle? For dam sure need some legit 3 and D guys. Or moreso a superstar veteran like Dame Lillard or Kyrie or another Big like Brook Lopez??

  4. The Cavs suck more than the Knicks. Sorry to break it to you but this didn’t make this Knick team a good team. They’re OUTCLASSED!

  5. The Knick roster is not better than the Heat! We’re 10 deep and we’re not hitting our threes. We shot like 30%. If we hit threes we would be winning by 30!

  6. isnt before thibs, knicks always out of playoffs? why ask for firing right away
    I mean are there anyone else that you can think of that can outcoach spo now?

    -heat fan

  7. I’ll never understand why people keep stating that the Knicks are the deeper team. Miami has 7 players with 33 starts or more, plus Love with 17 starts since being traded to the Heat and the biggest kicker is the Heat bench so far out scoring the Knicks bench 116-62 this series. That should kill that talk going forward.

  8. Wow. This is what fandom has become? I’ve said this for 20 years: NY is not NY anymore. I’m pissed at where we are and I agree that it’s unlikely that they will come back. Nonetheless, the series is not over until it is. The NYC that I grew up in fought until the bitter end. The DNA of our greatest moments was always exemplified by our grit, fight and optimism of what we can do.

  9. Thibs has very little to do with this game. The game plan was a winning on. When it’s 3 on 5 on defense and the 2 missing are your best players, that’s an issue too.

  10. I KNEW WHEN THEY LOST GAME ONE THEY WERE IN TROUBLE. AND BELIEVE ME THERE IS A WHOLE LOT MORE TROUBLE ON THE WAY WITH. YOU KNOW WHO

  11. not bec theyr not hitting 3s.. no.. 3s is not the only way to win games.. old school rules "defence win games".. rebound hustle.. do what. u have to do to limit ur opponent.. trade and fire people.. as usual randle, barret nt a play off players.. trade.. classic thibs over playing his starters.. players are not robots damm ass.. fire this guy..

  12. I'm a heat fans and I can honestly say y'all beat yourselves with all the offensive rebounds you let us have

  13. Saying caleb martin is dirty or did that intentionally is wild. Say what you want , but the heat play hard but they dont play dirty, never have, not known for that. I get it, it was bad placement but you could tell he was going for a contest and just got lost in the play. It happens, dont reach.

  14. Knicks are mentally soft and can't handle the pressure on the big stage don't blame the coach or one player…blame the whole team

  15. We deserve to lose these series. Last game was probably our "best" loss – we fought hard, but Heat fought harder, we scored well, but Heat scored better, we wanted it, but Heat wanted it more. Heat has a TON of experience with Butler, Bam, Lowry, Love – these guys have all been to the Finals and have multiple rings among them, even if Lowry and Love are clearly past their peak forms. Heat lets them play for 20-30 minutes, which still makes them very effective. Heat's role players are simply better than our role players. And when it comes to our #1 franchise guys, it's day and night. Butler wins playoff series. Randle tanks playoff series. You just cannot win anything with a guy like Randle as your #1 guy. He cracks under pressure…

  16. Bud got fired for playing jimmy one on one with jrue Holliday lol and our role players still went off. We’re just clicking now and we’re reverting to last year level. Hell we’re playing much better than last year playoffs because we’re hitting shots. Unfortunately y’all were in our way. It’s not a bad season for the young knicks getting some playoff experience.

    Ps it’s Caleb Martin… not Cody

  17. Unrealistic expectations. Heat is at another level. How could you all ever think that a team that has done nothing would beat the Heat in 4,5 or 6???Brunson, RJ and Randall are a bunch of #3 and 4 options on any team.

  18. Last series the Bucks coach got roasted and fired because he did not double Jimmy enough. The Knicks need to get rid of Randell and get what you can get for RJ those dudes are not gonna get any better. I would rather have the two undrafted players like Max Strus and Gabe Vincent. Those dudes play hard all the time and have no fear.

  19. Why Thibs is not using Fornier the way the Heat are using Duncan for the Heat? He needs to make adjustments and stop being stuck in his ways. Thats what great NBA coaches do make adjustments, because the playoffs are a diffetent animal. He is so stubborn to a fault, it is costing the Knicks the series!

  20. Saying Caleb Martin play is dirty is just pure BS. Heat play hard and not dirty, that’s not apart of their M.O….y’all are just hurt about the lose

  21. We are going nowhere until we get rid of Randle and Thibs. Randle has proven he"s not a money player. Thibs makes no adjustments. Trade Randle and keep Obie. Fire Thibs and hire a coach that knows how to handle young players.

  22. nicks getting physically abused as guys like Randall and Barret don't feel like competing.

  23. OBI 6 MINUTES, DEUCE 4 MINUTES, TOTAL 10, DOWN IQ, RANDLE AND JB NURSING SPRAINED ANKLES. GRIMES PLAYS OVER 40 MINUTES, GETS 8 SHOTS.
