Thibs is a regular season coach
He's great for maximizing talent in the regular season to get to the playoffs but once he gets there he always gets exposed
He's not a 7 game series coach. Huge lack of adjustments and he has a knack for wearing down his players by playing them massive minutes all year long
:what:

We gotta get a better center.
I actually think Mitch/Hart is ok. Those two were what got the Knicks through the second round.

The Knicks need more bench creation/spacing/scoring and maybe a bigger defender they can throw at guys when Hart & grimes aren’t physically big enough. Thibs needs to start mixing and matching the starters and the bench more to figure out some new combinations. It’s going to be a rough offseason because with Perry gone I expect there will be zero rumors unless another FO leaks them. Plus they are fitting to do shyt in the draft but sign guys who go undrafted.

I think he's right. Thibs won't get us to that next level & coach Spo coached circles around him. We've been saying the same things about him for the last 2-3 years. The FO should keep him till they find a suitable replacement
On me thibs a good defensive coach but offensive challenged

He always depends on his stars too much to get offense instead of running a actual offense

The stagnation on bench in the playoffs is proof of that
