"We're Just Ghosts in a Shell, A Bunch of Hollow Knights. Not Ready" Official '24-25 NY Knicks Season Thread

[ISO]

You are right it’s one of the best Knicks teams in 25 years. It deserves better coaching.

Make it make sense

 

[Wargames]

Shout out to St. John’s


Also, NYC basketball byke

Boogie Fland and Ian Jackson in mock drafts projected top 10 BX shyt 🫡 @010101

I saw them with Seton and he looks like he could be a NBA player. It’s hard to tell cause the big East ain’t the best competition like it use to be.

You think this team is good because of the coaching I think it’s good in spite of the coaching.

It doesn’t work like that.

I am not saying get a nobody but this team is talented enough that legit good coaches would want to come here. A “perfectly fine” coach ain’t cutting it at this point.

Also, I like Hart, but on this squad he isn’t a starter. Thibs own system highlighted transition with bench units and they don’t got that due to personal and Hart might be the best transition player on the team.

When Mitch is conditioned he can go to the bench.

Josh has been the Knicks third best player all season. This would be purely a spacing/fit move.

Bro please stop with the “good coaches” shyt who are you talking about? The league is a recycling bin of coaches who get gassed up and then torn down. It’s a thankless job. The only thing we can do to truly be title contenders is to snag someone like Giannis. We’ll get another retread coach and when we peak y’all will nitpick and want them fired too. Learn from other elite orgs stick to one fukking coach.

We watching the same games bro.

I’m gonna let stat people explain it since you think that way.



Hart been struggling and instead of Thibs coaching and making adjustments he gonna tell Hart to “do his job”. It’s Thibs job to sub Hart the fukk out!

The Celtics got rid of their really good coach and won a chip. The Raptors got rid of the COTY and won, the Bucks changed coaches and won a chip. You know Lebron was recycling coaches like soda cans. Cavs got rid of a good coach and then moved up with what I think is an inferior roster. Hawks have a really good coach and might be able to take the Knicks out in a series with an inferior roster.

Like no funny there are 5 coaches in the East as good if not better than Thibs.

The Knicks have moved heaven and earth to get the best talent they could. If they don’t get out the second round they gonna fire Thibs. It is what it is. They ain’t got no way to really improve the roster since low-key we know they need Mitch cause KAT can’t hold down a defense as a center.

All they can do is change the coach at this point.

Buddy has started 67% of his games from his third season on across three different clubs but he’s not a starter.

14/10/5 with 1.5 steals on 53/33/79, 17 PER, 62% TS, 2.8 value over replacement, 2.7 box plus minus but he’s not a starter.

The Knicks are 42-24 in his starts this season.

God damn third best player all season and consistent

But he’s NOT a starter

All because the nikka has limitations like any other player in the league…

GLARING limitations. And I LOVE Josh. But you don’t win chips with a player that teams have learned to completely ignore on offense. This isn’t 2012.

Team that just beat us was a dynasty with one.

Denver won with Aaron Gordon starting. Milwaukee won with PJ Tucker starting.

You don’t win chips without transcendent players. The Knicks don’t have that and don’t have the depth to compensate for that. We’ll be right here in the same position with a different coach and we’d have a worse record without Josh being in the role he’s had.

Dropping Josh hart counting stats when he is the beneficiary of everyone else in the starting lineup making him look good
Whose job does Josh make easier in the starting lineup. Brunson and Kat are all nba in spite of him. Making concessions to make Josh a make a wish player is hilarious. Are we building around Josh or Kat and Brunson lmao
Josh is the changeup, if you throw a changeup 5 times in a row someone is gonna line that shyt up and smoke it.
Josh is 30 and the first 7 years of his career he was matching salary and a role player on teams that never made the playoffs and the coach using this nikka an essential.
I’m being gaslight into shytting on Josh cause of the coach.
There are ways to manufacture offense with a non spacer on the court and the coach isn’t creative enough to utilize off ball actions and off ball screening from Josh. We using Kat as a decoy to run the “cook that nikka” offense that we utilize with Brunson, but calling that tired ass on ball screen for Mikal. lol thibs will see someone out and plug in someone else and tell them to play like the person who’s missing.
When og got hurt this stupid ass coach had precious spacing in the corners like he og and taking on his role. It’s dog shyt priorities.
I’m watching Josh hart Mitch and precious minutes lmao. Just cause we good I shouldn’t expect better, we are playing beneath our talent level and if you dropped thibs on the Cavs zero chance in hell they’d have the same record. Game done passed that old head by

Coaches don't play. You're only as good as your players

When they improve the bench. They'll win 55 games and be a stronger contender

Aaron Gordon was the functional center on offense. Something Josh Hart is too small to do. Draymond Green was the functional center on defense. Something Josh Hart is too small to do. PJ Tucker at least took and made corner threes. Something Josh hasn’t been doing this season. I’ve said here that if Josh was 6’8 he’d be a hall of famer. He’s a fukking dog. He also is holding back THIS team as constructed, back.

And dikk size isn’t one of them

[The War Report]

If they can't get past the 1st round, fire Thibs immediately.
