Josh has contributed to winning basketball since he landed here.

Thibs has never had a chanpionship level roster. He has maximized every team he’s coached.
He literally never made the playoffs in a league that 60 percent of teams make the playoffs in, before coming here
the times he's had an expanded role the teams sucked dikk cause they didnt have talent better than him (WHICH IS NOT GOOD)
thibs has raised the floors of countless players, Thibs is currently placing guys in floor raising roles but not ceiling raising for his star players

a who's who of high level contributors and yet josh hart is at the top of the league in minutes because he presents a modicum of rebounding presence whih is the ultimate floor raising statistic.
turnovers and 3s are the ceiling raising statistic that grossly effects who wins games more often than not
the glass keeps you affloat, the 3s and turnovers pummel teams.
I actually dont think theres a coach in the league that would get what thibs got out of the elfrid paytons, reggie bullocks, jericho sims, precious achuiwas of the world. I dont think his mentality is one that can maximize the two all nba guys
this where we disagree. I dont think thibs is an awful coach...but if as long as brunson is the #1 on this team...you gotta aim for maximizing ceiling...thibs dont care about ceiling. he cares about a baseline of competence

Warriors are 14-2 since acquiring Jimmy. We weren’t going to win armchair head coach moves wouldn’t make a difference. OG does not rebound. Y’all think y’all solving problems, but you’re creating others.

OG has never been used as a center is it because those other coaches he’s had aren’t forward thinking? shyt this the most PF he’s played in his entire career.
If Josh scores 4 points they win the game :manny:

Lol the constant ragging of Hart and Thibs is so tired. Bridges bytch ass has been much more problematic cost us a haul to shoot 35% from 3, be ranked as a mediocre defender, shyt on the coach publicly, and then not even have teammates back. The Chipotle eating fakkit just skates.

Cost us 5 picks and crying about playing 37 minutes a night and the fans defended him :mjlol:

Can’t wait for us to get rid of Hart and Thibs. Hopefully y’all get y’all wish so we can see all this unravel. As always ima be the first nikka to remind yall. :umad:

Knicks fans don’t deserve good things.

Hart’s minutes should be cut in half so we can watch Landry Shamet brick more wide open threes. :mjlol:

We should bring in a first year head coach so he can be fired within 2.5 seasons :mjlol:
I’ve banged the Bridges drum on here for YEARS. If nikkas wanted to say I was the number one person in here banging that drum I’d agree. He’s been getting ragged on here for the past two months straight and i just stfu cause there wasn’t a lie being told. YOU said this team has glaring issues. We’ve accurately pinpointed all of them in here.

Thibs most likely is going to get one more year. If he flames out next year, he is definitely getting fired

Edit: props to him for making us a respectable team, but sometimes a change is needed to get a team over the hump

Imagine Jordan, Magic, Zeke, Ewing, Bron, KD or Kobe saying some shyt like "I'm playing too much" privately, let alone publicly. KD ass 37 years old among the league leaders in minutes.




What Bridges did/said was some p*ssy ass shyt and he should be embarrassed...and any Knicks fans co-signing this bytch ass nicca should be as well. "All these minutes are hard on the body"...nicca if you don't get your SOFT ass on somewhere...




Those of you who don't like Thibs anyways ate that shyt up.




Shame on you.

You're not paying attention

He played 40 plus on B2B both nights

They are not fighting for seeding. There is no need for that

When you love to compete you don't give a f*ck about that shyt...the great competitors never did.




Even if Bridges felt a way, you keep that shyt in house.




Bridges the first nicca in the history of the league to come out and say "I'm playing too much".

image.png

he was a net negative pushing net neutral before he got in the thibs workshop, as he entered his prime (age 28)
thibs overuse is allowing him to trend downwards on top of him simply not shooting the ball.
ironically josh himself was better off when teams put their traditional bigs on mitch/ihart instead of him which is why he's better off coming off the bench. his offensive rebounding ability gets mitigated when they just put a 7 footer on him to box out and clog the paint
we got the highest used 5 man group in the league and its only a +4 and when you swap out hart or mikal for someone else it spikes. politics isnt taking mikal out the lineup
compared to the elite, their best lineups are all +10
josh and mikals skillsets dont work together and thibs keeps trying to make it a thing.
its easier to limit their minutes with one another if you play them both closer to 30 minutes than 40 minutes.
simplifying it to josh sucks isnt accurate, he's deployed in a way thats actively hurting the team and that aint on him. he gotta still shoot the fukking ball though

You do realize you speaking on a player who hasn't missed a game in his career

You do realize that, right?

This team has had only 40 possessions with 5 shooters on the floor together. What a waste

Shame on you.

mikal been on functioning teams that went further than any team than thibs has ever coached and never missed a game in his career
this that goofball 90s mentality like there aint 12+ more possessions a game and asking a nikka to run through the most screens in the league while STILL leading the league in minutes
him going to the media was corny but how he's used is some wild stupid shyt. fukk I got deuce on my team for if Im gonna spam the "mikal guard everyone" button when deuce got a body of work being an elite point of attack guy for more than 1 year
early in the year thibs had mikal on trae young WHILE DEUCE WAS IN THE GAME
old senile ass nikka dont know what he doing
