He needs to go 10-11 deep. Thibs is such a bozo with the rotation and minutes. Give me the Knicks in a sweep
I'll believe this two-big lineup when I see it against a good team. I don't think Towns and Robinson have the necessary foot speed to be on the floor together for very long. If the Knicks are playing the Celtics and it's White, Holiday, Brown, Tatum and Horford vs. Brunson, Bridges, Anunoby, Towns and Robinson. Robinson has to guard Horford who will be on the 3-point line. Towns will be trying (giggle) to guard Tatum one on one with no Mitchell Robinson behind him to protect the rim. Unless you want to let Al Horford shoot wide open threes which is a bad strategy to dare Horford to beat you because he will. Instead of Horford it could also be Porzingis at the 3-point line as well. This double big lineup is doomed to fail if the other team is playing 5 out and the opponents power forward has the ability to attack Towns in space and get him stumbling backwards with no help behind him. I hope we get to see the Knicks try this lineup so it can fail, and we can stop talking about it forever. There is no simple magic adjustment that can be made in a vacuum that is going to make everything fall into place for the Knicks team defense. Teams will attack the two big lineup with 5 out formations and make Towns and Robinson guard players in space that are more mobile. It will not work.
knicks should have had moses brown tj warren orcchecka
If thibodeau takes Shamet out something is wrong with that man
If thibs loses series cuz of rotation. Loses at all. Hes likely gone.
We will go as far as the double big lineup can expand us. I agree we need to see it.
Good video! I hit the like.
And way to warm up the anti-Thibs hive. Get the hate cooking by bitching about things he hasnt even done yet as if he has. They don't know the difference. lol
I think Thibs goes to Shamet over Payne when it shrinks to 8. Payne win't be needed as much with the extra minutes for the starters and Deuce will be in whenever JB is out. I think we may even see PJ for some minutes if we are lacking that physicality. Precious played well against Detroit too but not as effective in inconsistent minutes so I'd give it to the vet this series if needed
starting shamet in harts place would give him all those open shots that hart gets
My line up would be mitch,towns, OG, shamet, brunson. I would bring hart,bridges,duece off the bench. That bench would be sick. Or swap out bridges with landry, good either way. Shamet needs 25 mins moving foward
Mitch is not starting but play together more than they been ! We all know the 8 man rotation is starters + McBride , Shamet and Mitch when we use 9 man for a few minutes some games it’s between Payne or Precious !
Tom did not say anything about removing shamet , if someone isn’t playing its Payne and Precious !
His man crush on Josh hart is so annoying Josh hart’s defense has been ass all season. And he can’t shoot. Why is he playing all these minutes when he can’t shoot the ball
Great teams force opponents to match up against them Tibbs is the problem His offense is stale and predictable A bad thing with all the talent this team has and for a defensive coach this team has come up short when it comes to defensive intensity foe extension periods The knicks aren’t a great outside shooting team particularly from 3 so the plays should be designed to take advantage of the skill set If after 82 games you’re still trying to decide who should and shouldn’t play you have done your job as a coach Tibbs should be coaching for his career

Y iz tha dbl-BIG lineup seen az "desperate"? It givez us tha advantage…Detroit iz a small team
Why would u not have shamet in the rotation while he's on fire like a bronx apartment building in the 80s? That aint gonna happen!
Knicks in 5
Cam payane
thubs boutta be outta here. Coach malone is in
Lets go my knicks!!! We here we ready !
We still don't have that 3rd center. I don't feel comfortable with only 2 limit centers. I think this will be something that hurts us in the playoffs.
I usually defend Tibbs, but If he doesn't play Shamet, then I will have to say Tibbs is an idiot.
Remove bridges
Liked the lineup Kat,Robinson, Anounoby,Mikhal and Brunson Hart should be the sixth man their is only 1 basketball
✊✊✊✊ I sure hope so!!! Tib's needs to through a wrench into Detroit's game planning and start the big line up game 1. JB, Mcbride, OG, Kat, Mitch. Allow Hart and Bridges to cook with the 2nd line up.
We don’t have enough talent to walk in and sweep them we’re gonna be lucky to get win
Why would you remove the one player who can actually shoot we need a shooter
Please Leon rose get Moses brown we will get to eastern conference finals please get him
I wish he used 10 players
Shammet over CamPan
How in the world did you come to the conclusion about shamet not being in the rotation from that comment. The guy is out playing starters right now.
fire Thibs
