   Mr. Thibs mastered the art of finding starting PG other than Kolek.

   Now we can play the bench more and rest the starter since we are in the playoffs

   Y’all are going way too hard for a 4th string pg who is a 24 year old rookie, whose only skill is passing he can’t defend his position can’t create his own shot, isn’t a good rebounder. Who needs his assist the Knicks are amongst the top 3 teams in assist and top 3 in offensive rating. They don’t need Tyler Koleck to direct their offense. Lmao they need to improve defensively and he can’t help them do that. He came off the bench for Wright because he can’t defend at the point of attack.

   He is a career back up PG his peak is becoming a second string PG. he isn’t the second coming of John Stockton who was one of the best defenders in the league year in and year out. Stop

   Y’all can try to over promote him all you want Thibs and the Knicks coaching staff knows what they’re doing. Deuce is better defensively and offensively than he is and he is younger than that 24 year old rookie.

   Delon Wright looked great because he's a tall point guard & if he keeps knocking down shots it's an extra added threat. I think about all the tall point guards have an advantage

    Deuce is more of a scorer than a playmaker. He will benefit more playing alongside Kolek and Delon, who are looking to pass than shoot than Payne!

    All these internet coaches have all the answers. Kolek coming off the bench to run the 2nd unit shouldn't be this controversial but people need their attention. We got the W, right? So WTF are we crying about here?

    That was a terrific move by Thibodeau.
    Playing Wright against his old team was the "wright" thing to do.
    Thibodeau has a happy player on his bench and a win.
    Nice work.

    All I know is when kolek is in the game we're winning. Same for Mitch. You can clearly see the impact. I still don't quite understand the argument against this

    It's about time somebody addressed the Tyler kolek situation stop giving him a pass he gets scared against real competition I keep telling people that he needs to break loose You're not in college anymore.

    Who starts is less important, but Kolek needs at least half the minutes. Period!

    Delon Wright is a serviceable vet. His brother was also an nba player. So that shows you his pedigree… I like kolek, but he’s not ready. Some of y’all acting like he’s the 2nd coming of Steve Nash 😂😂😂

    Title should be why did thibs bench Tyler Kolek

    @elhadjiniang6707 10 months ago

    Tyler will shoot better if he plays more

    @ron6083 10 months ago

    CP, both of y'all are talking out you rear ends. Y'all are always screaming "Play Tyler, if he makes a mistake, you live with it because he has to get opportunities, he has to get reps".

    So now Tyler has a not so good game at the Clippers and he doesn't do as well so now against Milwaukee, everyone wants Delon Wright,a player that (including tonight) probably had maybe 5 good games his whole career.

    HYPOCRITES!

    Then CP you literally say, "I know they should have given him reps earlier this season so he could be ready for the pressure of the playoffs."

    Those may not be your exact words, but that was the gist of what you said. My point is exactly that this kid should be afforded the opportunity to mess up as often as he needs so he can then be coached on how to do better.

    Yet you saying Thibs benching him is the right thing to do. NO IT ISN'T its the very reason why we will exit the first or second rounds.

    Then you and and all your cohorts will be saying; "Thibs should be given a little more time.

    Great debate with CP and JB always love the back and forth. I am not mad at Thibbs Kolek needs to become at a least a threat to score on offense because defensively he is not there yet.Like JB said these guys are all professional players give the vet a shot. #50 wins Lets goooooooooo!

    @GlassJ0e 10 months ago

    It’s just Wright’s defense. Good move. We knew Giannis was going to require an extra body and Kolek getting switched onto big guys is not gonna work.

    @jade-addonhall6138 10 months ago

    You have to remember with Thibs it’s ROLE. In his thinking why would you start Kolek when he’s most effective and likely to be with the second unit when Brunson is back.

    So why start him when he’s not gonna be starting
