76ers 123, Knicks 108: Scenes from one glorious minute of Deuce McBride at PG

You know it’s hitting the fan when the relatively family friend Knicks site like posting and toasting have a post game review has a line saying:

But man, am I sick of head coach Tom Thibodeau’s bullshyt. The Knicks got fukking waxed in the third quarter, 38-19, as the offense stagnated once again.

We 8th pick though so good odds we will have a top 10 pick even if teams move up.

To be fair to Thibs He’s not lying. Burks probably is the best we have. I know nikkas don’t want to hear that but IQ leaves a shyt ton of points out there and the bench would be an even bigger disaster without him. And Deuce isn’t ready yet

He had a pg in Kemba, but ran him away. He got one in a rookie pg, but refuses to play him. Thibs played himself

This season is definitely a case of the coach showing his ass to the organization and the fans. It’s was fun while it lasted. I’m done with this team.

Kemba is not a serviceable point guard and neither is McBride (Yet).
We as fans came into the seasons thinking Thibs would stagger Kemba and Rose with either IQ, or Duece at PG. He didn’t he played them heavy minutes. He didn’t even try to stagger them with a third guard. Instead he benched Kemba and Ran Rose into the ground and then played Burks out of position.

McBride is one of the better PG’s in the G League and would probably have been called up by other teams if he could.

I disagree with this. I’m pretty sure it was suppose to be just a Kemba-Rose operation for the most part. IQ said he wanted to be a point guard but Thibs didnt say he would be a point guard. And the benching of Kemba was justified.

The rose injury is the killer I can’t deny that because prior to the injury our offense was in the top 5 and now it’s crumbled.

Fell down a YouTube rabbit hole and found game 1 of the Bulls/Knicks playoff game. Oakley almost killed Cartwright and had the Bulls getting ptsd of the Bad Boys days. Too bad the rest of the series didn't go so well.
