Tom Thibodeau on Knicks falling into an 0-2 hole in the Eastern Conference Final
Tom was disappointed. You the
most walking away from this one, you know just didn’t find a way
to win in the end. Coach. You guys are down old, too. You played well on the road in the playoffs. What do you
tell your guys going into game three after losing two games at home?
Same thing is get ready for the next one.
You got to be ready to for the next challenge. We got to study to film. Make our Corrections, get ready to play again. What would you say was the
biggest deciding factors at tonight’s game? And again, it comes down to a
couple things going into the fourth quarter.
It’s tie ball game in you know, just got to make
better place more winning place. As you know, cats at most the
fourth quarter just we got in a hole in the
group that was in there. Gave us a chance. So we just write
right in that were just searching for a way to win Tom on the second last
possession you had a chance to be shot it early in the shot
clock at get the two-for-one with terms of
possessions. What’s your philosophy? We’re
just like just looking for the best
look before. The defense can get set. So that’s what we’re trying to
coach. Yeah, open floor, open floor. I
thought he got the space. You know, I’m going to trust him in that situation, reverses dead
ball where that you can lock into and deny him the ball. I felt
like we can get him the ball into space in that that scenario Tom what up what do you see in
the in the first quarter? As you know 19 and 9 tonight and it
was slow starts have been a things their way. You guys can kind of lip that. Yeah, we just
got to keep looking at it. Gotta do better. Tom siakam 39 points obviously
is Was it just a billion transition
or how he hurt you guys tonight compilation? Everything
transition half-court space. You know, got to do a better job on giving where you guys are down
to a slow. Start to get the point
where you almost have to strongly consider making a. We
always look at everything to just get a little more
comfortable when he has to defend in space for his keep working at it. Tom, I’m curious. There was that unbelievable play that Mitch
made on the Block and then it looked like maybe came down on his ankle. The immediate play after that
was a play out to the corner that it didn’t really look like
he could contest just because of his ankle did, he lose a little bit of
steam at all after he kind of looked like he rolled it, you know. I again I don’t think
so. Tell me they played 11 guys
tonight. And obviously down the stretch, they
were able to pull away a little bit, is fatigue a
factor of late in these games
here. Well, you know, we had a chance to tie
the Ballgame. So it’s a hard-fought game, both games
came down to the last play. So, you know, it’s whatever you
think it is.
Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau was brief in his postgame comments to the media after losing Game 2 to the Pacers, 114-109. He talked about “trying to win it in the end,” but New York had no answer for Pascal Siakam’s 39-point performance and will have to continue their strong play on the road if they hope to get back into the series.

Tigers can’t change their stripes
Thibs getting exposed this series badly right now
The system that the Knicks play under Tibs will never win a championship. Fire him immediately after they get swept.🧹🧹🧹🧹🤔
Fired😡😡😡
Changes have to be made is time for the coach to go sorry
Knicks dogfight.
Don't risk.
Brunson last shot messed them up. Thibs just needs to retire. But at least he got them in the finals. Remember other teams are gone!
Knicks fans don't deserve anything
You had your best two players on the bench in the 4th quarter. i dont understand this, dude… this is not the regular season. It is whatever you think it is… you're a dumb ass is what i think…
Tom you need to go you have no idea what's going. You tell your guy get your act together because I am tired of hearing the same.old so words.
Thank you Ian for asking that question do you consider a change to starting 5 uhhh we look at everything 😂 fire this man please
We are not done!
Josh Hart has to give us more if we’re gonna win anything!!
"It's whatever you think it is." – Tom Thibodeau 2025
Dumbest coach in sports
Bro i have a question why is Precious Achiuwa not playing. 7 man rotation in this series is ridiculous . Let your bench give the pacers another look
Yall Knicks fans are hilarious. Ofcourse it’s the coaches fault and not the players 😂😂😂
Brunson is why this team has made it so far two Seasons in a row. Thibs is just stubborn
This team is not built correctly. When you have a small guard you have to build a certain way. 3 3 and, D players and, a defensive anchor. The Knicks on top of Brunson has 2 other questionable defenders in KAT and, Hart. To get where they wanna go they have to tweak the roster. The Knicks have no sniper on the roster and, their best 3 point shooter is Brunson. KAT is not a 5 and, can’t protect the rim. OG is out of place. He should be at the 3 not the 4. The Knicks have to hope their rookies come on because their bench is lacking. They have to upgrade Payne, Shamet and, Precious. Hopefully Kolek, Dadiet and, McCullar takes a major step in the summer and, are ready to contribute. The scheme is severely lacking. It’s nothing in it to make it easier on Brunson. Everything offensively is a struggle. It’s not a lot of back door action, it’s not a lot of cutting and, it’s not a lot of off ball Brunson which he has shown he can do. Defensively they seem like they have lost their identity from a year ago. The intensity is lacking, the energy is lacking and, their communication seems off. If they don’t make it the roster has to be improved and, their communication seems coaching does also. If Thibs stays I wouldn’t mind him getting an assistant like Mike D’antoni and, if the Knicks let go of Thibs which I don’t know if they will happen or if it should the happen but, the list should be Jay Wright, Lionel Hollins, Dan Hurley, Jerry Stackhouse and, Johnnie Bryant in that order
You sick as a coach
Kat should have been in the game in the 4th quarter. No way, he should have been sitting on the bench.
Sit Cam Payne please! He comes in EVERYTIME and Chucks up Krazy 3s and turns the ball over! Why does this guy get playing time? We got better guards on that bench. Give shammet some Run! Thibs is a Stubborn old man! All Knick fans can see this!
The answers that he gives seems like he says anything to get out of it, just gives you simple 3 word answers.
Start precious. Bring j hart off the bench. Get bigger and a better paint defender. And extend the bench
I'm so disappointed let New York City down how r you not push Kat to play in the 4th all that money we are paying for him
We have a great shot blocker in Hukporti rotting on the bench while Mitch and KAT just watch players like McConnell/Nembhard walk to the basket for easy layup
