Coach Tom did a good job. They should have him next year. The team's two biggest weaknesses in the last game were defense and three-point shooting. Bringing in a star doesn't guarantee anything, because at the semifinal level, all teams are good. We have to keep building the team dynamic, one as excellent as the one in Game 5. That takes time. By the way, what the bench needs is to play more in the regular season.
Brunson is the problem he continues to keep dribbling ball and won’t pass it on the coach should had rotation the bench instead of keep playing the same player he should have used the bench player that why they lost the games the Knick is not a championship team they are not ready yet.
Bench Coach and Bench Players trade what the Knicks need Hakeem needs to help Karl Anthony Towns be a better Center 😊
That’s what you Knicks fans get for trashing dude with the Pacers jersey 😂
I want CT to remain the NY Knicks head coach.
The NY Knicks need a Seth Curry or a Ty Jerome type of shooter off their bench.
Aaron and Tom have been doing great jobs.
The Knicks did "allow" the Pacers took those games. Game 6 was decisive. Thibs tapped with two minutes left.
Passing,defense and poise the NY Knicks need to find in the postseason in 2026. The Cubs been were the NY Knicks are losing to the Padres in 1984 and losing to the Marlins in 2003.
Social media representatives and producers please no more mad photos for both Knicks opponents or the Knicks.
OMG 💅 The New York Knicks' failure to succeed in the finals can be traced back to Jalen Brunson's misguided playstyle, which is characterized by a slow pace and dribbling without passing, reminiscent of Allen Iverson's approach. Moreover, Mitchell Robinson, their role player center, was virtually absent both on the court and off. The Knicks have four players ranked in the NBA's top 10, 20, and 30 tiers respectively, with Robinson excluded from the top tier rankings, yet they still display unrefined play. This scenario exemplifies the belief that the NBA is influenced and shaped by narratives. When the statistics and hype are analyzed, adjustments are made to ensure outcomes favor certain teams (mid/small-market versus big market teams), with the emphasis on playing hard to win being the least prioritized. Kudos to behind the scenes police fixing Indiana Myles Turner next big contract.
Also maybe Mikal has to become the NY Knicks second option more often sharing that with KAT or JB.
Change needs to come on the coaching they already made changes on the players that’s the way to find the weakness of the Knicks
The NY Knicks have the toughness to compete for a title but don’t have the extra bench shooter next to Deuce to win a NBA title. The Knicks need another young athletic big man to come off the bench to support Mitch.
I want to hold on to Mikal.
Ok, I respectfully disagree. I think Thibs is gone next season. This roster was constructed for Thibs. Each player in the roster was brought here after consulting Thibs. So they are all Thibs guys. We gave up 5 picks for Bridges and he was A$$. We brought Towns here and Thibs put him at the 5 instead of the 4 where he was most effective in Minnesota. Big mistake. Thibs historically runs his players into the ground rather than going deep into the bench to give players minutes. That’s a problem because it takes away from the team chemistry. Even guys on the bench need time to gel with each other and the starters when called upon. Thibs isn’t a good coach but he’s stuck in a time warp and won’t adapt. His philosophy is give the ball to Jalen Brunson. He runs no sets, no specific play designs for anyone else. The most he does is pick & roll. His in game adjustments are the worst in the NBA and it does not help that he was voted the coach “ Most “ NBA players don’t want to play for. You mentioned something about Mark Jackson. Well, Jackson only coached 3 seasons in Golden State. His first year 23 wins and the next two he made the playoff with 47 and 51 wins respectively. It wasn’t that he could not take them to the Next level, but rather he had issues with his front office which lead to him being fired. Steve Kerr even acknowledged that if it had not been for Jackson he might not have won a chip. Kerr walked into the perfect situation with a young core of Curry, Thompson and Green who had been in the playoff two years prior. Listen, we had a 2 year window to win a chip with this roster and we blew it. These younger, more athletic teams are on the rise and our teams starters are all In their prime being 27 and up. We don’t need a superstar player, we just need younger more athletic good players to go with the roster and a coach who believes in playing young players. We just got beat by a team with 2 star players, not superstars but a team that’s 10 deep with good young players. We need to follow that blueprint. Forget the superstar hunting, good sound young talent is what we need to add. One thing I will say is that there will be a roster change and hopefully a coaching change.
This video is clickbait BS, you have no "Massive Update" so why lie?
Im so sick of this coach.. please fire tibbs… Nothing's going to change next season same old thing all over again…smh .
Leon messed up a good thing
Randle/DDV/6 FRPs/$23M contract>>>>>>>KAT/Bridges
Tibbs has to go
As a pistons fan I was hoping to see the Knicks win. That bench and lack of forsight from the front office killed y’all, duece , Payne, shamet , and precious who’s probably should have been traded at the deadline if the Knicks weren’t going to use them why keep them trade that for expiring veterans who can help you now. . Same with kolek what’s are Knicks keeping these players for if Tibbs doesn’t trust them for mins when they’re needed. F the future you went all in trading for 3 all stars you don’t need 21 year old developmental players you need to go win a title.
He doesn't play his bench
I can honestly say I think KAT is the first on the chopping block. We’re weak in the 5, we do not have a defensive presence in the paint. KAT is softer than circus lemonade. Yes he can score but he’s very injury prone. Expect a major move to be made with KAT as the centerpiece for trade bait. Thibs isn’t the issue, we also need a solid bench.
He should have played that bench
Fire Thibs!!!!!
I am not sure how they turned the ball that much
Thibs top assistant should be a veteran offensive coach….
Gianis is the only player and a long shot The Joker that would break up this core…
The fact is, we needed KAT to be a big factor last night just like he was in game 5, and he really wasnt
Jalen Brunson is always going to have full faith in Tom.. the reason is, for the first time in Jalen’s career he has a head coach that has full faith in him
😂INDY IN 6..the dix suck Jets suck Mets suck yank's suck…
This roster is stronger offensively with a defensive coach Thibs and the personnel are going two different ways just gotta cut ties all Love to Thibs
I don’t know why people think that the Knicks was gonna beat the Pacers. You know this wasn’t gonna happen with their lack of defense and not learning for name mistakes and basically getting tired. There was no way they can beat the paces. The day was three and one it was already over.
I don’t know why people think New York Knicks going beat Indiana Pacers not gonna happen. It was over the minute next drop to the Pacers 3 games to 1 not get back on defense, lack of awareness, getting tired. There no way can beat the Pacers. Once they got to three games to one already over. Ialso believe now that the Knicks will never win a championship they not hungry. They can’t keep up lack of awareness they played the game like a roller coaster ride. They just not built for it until they learn as a team to be hungry every night and play the game like it’s their last game they would never win a championship so change gotta be made. I blame the front office Trading the pics salary pics money and at the end it got you nowhere but laziness, tiredness lack of awareness, not learning for mistakes and not getting back on defense that’s why they lost all I can say, but even if you make changes change the players in if the Knicks are not determined to win and not hungry enough, they were never championship. It is what it is.
For the New York Knicks, you continue to make the same mistakes you’re gonna get the same results and this is going to be year after year after year but New York Knicks is good for this. They’ve been doing this for years. They’ve been playing like this for years. They just not hungry enough they just not determined enough Like other teams to win the championship. It has to be in your blood has to be in your DNA game last game, not built that they not battle tested for that other teams in the NBA. I don’t see them in the championship. The team itself is just not enough not determine enough lack of awareness not getting back on defense not learning your mistakes, it’s gonna cost you, the players, but the team itself cannot they won’t be no championship. They don’t make the decision. 😊will be the same.
FIRED THIBS
No one more year players want to play players tired of this . Fire Tom hire Malone a champion. U talking Krazy silly
If Thibs is still here we will not win a title & you said exactly what I said it's similar to Jacksons situation with the Warriors & just as he did with them Thibs did for us now we need a coach to take us to the next level
The Knicks didn't have a solid bench that Tibbs could trust in which I believe that's why he played his starters longer and they definitely did much better than last year and if they break up this starting five up they're not thinking in which I don't believe it's their starters I believe the Knicks need a strong bench to back up their starters and Tibbs trust to keep them out there longer, while his starters rest longer this is the missing piece a solid bench.that you can count on.
No time to panic ! Minor changes not major .
We had a good run, maybe next year. I hope I am still around to watch it all. I didn't expect them to get past the second round so I am not disappointed. We were lucky to get past Detroit. Fire Thibs, hire Spreewell. Once again, we need a real center.
Thibs first then makel then og needs to be gone
This man broke down everything the Knicks did wrong.😂

All the Thibs haters are absolutely stupid.. who are you upgrading him with? Yelling replace Thibs, we'll what's your answer?..with who? The season was a success ..did better than last time and you tweak the team from here.
Take a look at what Thibs has done since getting here my fair weather fans!! 5 years, 4 playoff appearances!!!! Player development on Duece! Who ya recreational fans gna get to coach. Clickbait, remember how bad the Knicks were 6 yrs ago. Look what thibs did with the other teams he coached, watch another team people
Yesterday kind of sucked. Just a day to bury our heads in the sand. But the playmaking was the Pacers + 7 in assists and moving the ball is what outlasted the Knicks 'slow it down' effort. Winning at this level requires a coach that comes up with better X's And O's. This needs to stop with one player driving thru double & triple teams while everyone stands around because they know they are not involved. Thibs did a great job getting NY to this point. If you are ok with this for next few years, keep the coaching staff as is.. but someone eventually needs to juice up this team's stagnating offense if you expect to play in June.
Like everyone is saying love that Thibbs gave us a winning culture here but in basketball you don't have forever to be just relevant, you have to win the chip while you have a team capable. Things is too stubborn to win it all because he's always gonna lose games sticking with his style and his guys. The championship coaches Jackson, Pop, Kerr , Spoelstra etc they all aren't afraid to take put their favorite / best players if it means winning the game , that's not Thibbs. Develop rookies give them minutes; that's not Thibbs .
