Probably worse when that list was followed up with “But don’t worry, Milwaukee thinks that’s a collection of worthless trash so you won’t be going anywhere.”

Truthfully who would the Knicks give up for Giannis and who would the Bucks want?

KAT is necessary to facilitate the trade but I’m sure the Bucks want another good player with him. And a younger potentially-starting caliber player. Bridges & Kolek?

Oooh, I like this theory.

Maybe some are feeling, they did Donte dirty, why wouldn’t they do the same to me?

How do you say that in Milwaukanese?

“Mil- e - WaH - Kay” - Alice Cooper

Get ready to eat cheese buddy

“Just wanted to follow up”

In case yall aint hear me the LAST time

Just circling back

every reply to this comment is triggering me

checking in to confirm

“Forgot to flag it High Importance, my bad”

Do you also work at the company that I work?

Why is no one having a good time playing better? I specifically requested it!

They did the same shit last year and somehow got to the ECF with that method lmao.

Jalen Brunson, scrum master

LOLKnicks, LOLMets, LOLJets, WILL IT EVER END EITH THESE TEAMS?!

1000%. It’s almost like they never left

He’s literally clenching his cheeks thinking about hoisting another trophy with Hart’s virile thumb around.

FingerGate might have turned into FistGate. I understand Brunson’s concerns

Up- and to the right

‘Thumb nail’ Has a nice ring to it

This was a team meeting, it’s time for the human centi-thumb. All 15 guys matter here

Perfect balance

Yep. Won the Cup. Time to check out until the playoffs start. Except that not even the Thunder can check out and win games at a high rate.

I think people just overthink it. The Knicks tried to “too cool for it” it. But really just take it as a nice little moral boost that it is. Ride the wave. Dont over rely on it or ignore it.

yes because no European soccer team has ever won multiple cups in a season

man city being all “FA Cup? Why bother after THIS?”

Like being up by 20 in the first quarter and getting blown by 40 at the end.

I think the extra games actually have an impact. Every other teams gets a lighter week, and you end up with an extra game and no real rest days if you make the Cup final. So it’s not just that you’re tired, but also that your opponents are more well rested.

Brunson for AD??

“We need to go to Maine or something. We need to go somewhere where people aren’t talking about us”

I’m not disagreeing at all. The players have been garbage.. but if that’s still not a good sign for the coach.

Two things can be true. The players are a disgrace. The head coach is horrible, and every single time he opens his mouth is throwing someone under the bus.

Mike brown is a players coach, doesn’t get animated, doesn’t yell, doesn’t do anything, then goes to the media after games and throws players under the bus. I don’t know shit about what brunsons dad does from a coaching standpoint, but he gets on their asses on the sideline at least. 

Too soon.

Good example. Perhaps I should clarify player’s only meetings that are a result of your team legitimately playing like ass in the regular season

After the loss to the hospital Wolves

We caused a lot of team meetings that year, like 5 or 6 at least, that was fun

One of the biggest issues with this team is that their big men(towns and mitch) are by far the worst screeners/pickers I’ve ever seen in my life.

I can assure you Mike Brown didn’t start talking about that.

dray coulda hurt KAT & brown gave him a hug after the game

not a good look either

Well, he did do that. It wasn’t just Reddit and the media saying it, they were merely observing the situation factually. In 23-24 the players remaining in the season-ending loss to the Pacers looked like they’d been on a death march.

Still not saying Thibs should’ve been fired– it’s crazy work to fire a guy after leading your team to the ECF– but it’s not some made-up thing to point out that Thibs has spent his whole coaching career grinding dudes into dust.

The players were complaining about it too that’s why he was fired after exit interviews

Like the others said, Thibs forgot he had to prepare and build at least a 10 man rotation to not flame out in the playoffs. He didn’t develop the bench that he had to work with enough, and we all saw the result. They imploded against the Pacers during game 1, and it was all fucked from then on.

yes, I’m sure james dolan was swayed by reddit opinions

Exactly how I like to play 2K

I mean yes, why would you want the ball in the hands of objectively worse players in situations where they aren’t called for. Why would OG, Mikal initiate offense when you have Brunson right there. Why would you play players that would make your team objectively worse and who have little to no promise of achieving victory. It’s a matter of efficiency. If the only way to win is as you say, then you do it. Knicks aren’t a team trying to develop players, they are playing for a championship. So unless you can get a Mazzula, Spolestra tier coach Thibs is about a good as you’re going to get.
