"Who are the Knicks? Brunson, Brunson and some other Knickas" " - Official '23 NYK Offseason Thread

[Anerdyblackguy]

This is trash.

This is blowing up right now on twitter. Ian couldn’t hold on to this till after the deadline?

 

[In The Zone '98]

Y'all swear they hiding Paul George and Amare on the end of the bench.

Cam doesn't play because the guards they drafted are better two way players than him.

Obi doesn't play because he can't play center and they have 3 centers. Not to mention, the dude in front of him is an All Star and All NBA as a Knick.

Are we watching the same games!?

 

[Knicksman20]

He's doing the same with Toppin. Only difference is, he's limiting his minutes.

They need to get that faqqot thibs the fuq outta there and outta the NBA in general.

This the same sh!t he did in Minnesota.

Truth

I have to strongly disagree with people when they think he's doing a good job. Just the mismanagement of Obi alone should be enough to put him on the hot seat & question his methods. He's killed Obi's trade value & boxed him in as a player to the point where his growth has been stunted pretty bad. It's one of the most frustrating things to watch as a fan every game

I don’t think people on here even think Thibs is doing a good job tbh

We just been winning more as opposed to losing just off the fact that Randle hasn’t played like he did last season and that we finally have a legit PG for once.

Hell with a better coach these dudes would probably have 30 wins by now.

I think JB is the reason Randle looks better this season & why we're winning. He's legit carrying this team & he's not even a superstar. I'm just glad we were able to sign him but he needs some damn help. I really think we should trade Randle if the opportunity presents itself because his value won't get any higher than it is now

Facts.

They could legit trade Randle, RJ or both, fire the coach and the team will play 10x better.

Thibs being petty and playing ego politics like he's coaching a top seed. Cam really might not be IT but Thibs being on this ho shyt is unacceptable. Add that on to the shytty late game play calling

Why does the front office allow this? They clearly traded for him because they saw something. Why actively let your coach undermine your assets this way?

Now quick, do the small forwards…

RJ is inconsistent and will play last 5 minutes if he's been good all game. IQ gets his minutes, and they go small.

The back up 3 is basically IQ. Coach likes IQ over Evan and Cam. I'm cool with it.

The recent Knick draft picks play every game. I could not care less if Cam doesn't get run.

(Obi isn't a deadeye. Where's the spacing coming from if he plays back up 3 a lot?)

Thibs and Leon are extremely extremely close. They’ve been together since the 90’s and Leon has followed Thibs everywhere. The reason I’m saying this is that Thibs would never undercut Leon Rose like this.

Remember Thibs wanted to send Obi Toppin to the G-league his rookie year but he didn’t out of respect to Leon.

I’m starting to believe that the trading for Reddish wasn’t done by Leon but it was done by Perry and Leon just shrugged it off since they didn’t care about that draft pick at all. Thibs will never undercut Leon but he has no loyalty or connection to Perry or especially any loyalty to Wes since Wes tried to convince Leon to fire Thibs last year.

I can see that.

Cam looked good before he got hurt, and afterwards I don't think he looked bad enough to warrant completely falling out of the rotation, especially when we need a back up sf. The whole Cam situation has been weird from the beginning.

It’s smart vs creative. He is a very smart coach and has created a smart system. He is not creative in how he gameplans or adjusts his system to the actual players on his roster, and that makes him predictable.

Why is Obi not utilized the same way Julius is when in the game?

When Obi and Ju played together earlier in the season the results weren’t bad.

All this fukking arguing for a mid ass team.

All this behind the scenes bullshytting is crazy when we are this mid of a fukking team. Politics over progress
