Dubs won tonight @ Portland...but they also have to beat the #5 Clippers on Sunday in SF to avoid the play-in
Clips (49-32) can move up to the 4 with a win...combined with a Nuggets (49-32) loss @ (#2)Houston
GS (48-33) is currently the 6...and Minny ( also 48-33). The #7 Wolves host Utah on Sunday.

Quicker season ends for Knicks the quicker the exit Thibs will get!
I’m curious what more you think Thibs could do with this team. They are third in the East. Do you really think they are better than the Cavs and Celts to be higher? They are not. Is he supposed to magically make guys uninjured? He can’t. Do you have a guy lined up that can get better play out of this squad? How does that coach squeeze more juice out of this team?
I understand you want the Knicks to be a contender, but what is Thibs doing that is hampering them from achieving that with what he has to use?

How bout he learn how to preserve a lead with the correct rotations in a game

Develop the younger players , mix em up in a game to throw off an opponent

implementation of defenses vs stud players who continually have record setting games at the Mecca

Mitch Robinson, only thing thibs relies on him for is rebounding and defense, very little offense comes out of him, WHY?

Because he is a bad free throw shooter. Like atrocious.

And you have any coach in mind who will be able to do these things better than Thibs has with what he has to work with?

Yes he is

But he has good hands and Thibs has no interest in how to use them on the offensive end

So when he's on the floor with any of OG, Bridges, Brunson, Hart Towns what do you propose he do

Eh. It is really strange the West has been so much stronger, but the East cant collectively get their shit together. When one team puts it together another falls apart.
Meh. The league destroyed the Sixers on purpose so they knew there was going to be a mismatch between the conferences and it wasn't important to them.

More pick & rolls, back door passes

Takes pressure off all the names you mentioned

He doesn’t incorporate anything, STALE, Into this offense, all about Brunson dribble dribble dribble, it’s gotten old!

Memphis would have been ideal

Yep. Warriors is the best matchup of the 3 on paper due to their lack of bigs but not sure I want to see Steph in round 1

My preference if I’m a lakers fan would be the following:

Nuggets
Warriors
Wolves

That Zeke comment on LeBron continues to show how out of touch these old heads are

Disagree, this is a professional league. I agree with this guy, and I seldom agree with Thomas.


LeBron been doing this his entire career. This was 2-3 hours before the game. These old fucks just make stuff up as they go. Acting like LeBron came out like this in pregame warm ups 30 minutes before the game is a disgusting lie

You agree with any negative LeBron comment skip
