With Pop retiring, Tom Thibodeau is now the oldest coach in the NBA.
When you watch the Knicks carefully - it shows.

The New York Knicks are one of the most poorly coached teams in the league. They have 50 wins because of talented players, not a talented coach. They win despite the coaching, not because of it. This is Thibs' worst coaching job in the 5 seasons he's been in NY. #knicks

Just remember that Tom Thibodeau stood on the sideline the entire 3rd quarter, watched the game like you and I & did NOTHING. He left Mitch on the bench for 9 minutes of the quarter. Ran no plays for Bridges. He did nothing since we were up 8 in Q2 except play Cam Payne #knicks

Julius Randle fires the ball down court as he walks off the court. Doesn't celebrate the W with his teammates, doesn't shake hands with any Bulls players or coaches. What a leader šļø

Salute to @IanBegley for having the balls to ask Tom Thibodeau "What he was thinking" when it came to playing Josh Hart so much. His answer was coach speak. The question inspired another reporter to ask about Deuce's lack of minutes. FINALLY questioning putrid rotations #knicks

Tom Thibodeau had 17 games to allow KAT & Mitchell Robinson to be on the court at the same time and build chemistry & opted not to do it. Whatever reasons he had, theyāre unacceptable. No idea what this man is doing. #knicks

Let me be the first to call for Tom Thibodeau to be "Mark Jacksoned."
The Knicks have more than enough talent to be taken to the next level by a young coach, just like the Warriors were, when Mark Jackson was canned for a dude that had never coached in his life. #Knicks

I'll say it again: when the Knicks win, it's DESPITE the coaching, not because of it. Name one game this season where you said, "Tom Thibodeau won us that game." You can't. Name 1 game in his 5 year tenure in New York. You can't. #Knicks

The next #knicks coach should make it a point to reactivate Brunson as a catch and shoot 3pt shooter since heās the best C&S 3 pt shooter in the team. Thibs forgot all about that because he was lazy af when it came to coaching on the offensive end of the court

coach controls the minutes and the roles of those players. He's horrible at both. Our offense is, "Jalen do your thing." We don't play defense. We can't inbound the ball. We give up wide open 3's. He makes the same bad ingame decisions he made in week 1. He's been trash this year

Any Knick fan that is surprised that this team came out NOT ready to play, hasn't been paying attention all year. It's been happening all season. This game was easy to predict. Check out my prior tweets. Thibs rarely has this team ready to play.

Tom Thibodeau is famous for saying, "The game tells you what to do." Last night's game was screaming "Keep Deuce & Mitch in longer," & he ignored it. They built you that 17 point lead & showed no signs of caving. Mitch has been a problem for every team we play. #Knicks

Landry Shamet had 5 points 1 steal & 1 rebound if 14 minutes and the Garden was chanting his name. Why? Because he was a pit bull on DEFENSE. Him and Wright shouldāve gotten 3-5 more minutes a piece and cut into Hartās minutes. Thibs CANNOT reduce their game 6 minutes #knicks

Screamed for Delon Wright to guard McConnell before the series start since the Knicks never stop him. Thibs FINALLY does it out of desperation, McConnell then scores single digits for the 1st time all series in 2 straight games. Heās not a great coach yāall. #knicks

When I met Spike last night and we vibed on the Knicks & Brooklyn, he asked about the Lakers BLM shirt. I explained that do a lot of work with the @Lakers and theyāre VERY good to me, then showed him my Knicks tat. He smiled & said āorange and blue skies!ā We orange and blue 4eva

This is EXACTLY what I mean when I say that when the Knicks win it's despite the coaching not because of it.
Thib's main job is to put his players in the best position to succeed & he seems hell bent on doing the exact opposite. There's something wrong with him #knicks
Most played lineup of the final 4 teams. What stands out?
Pacers: 184 minutes, +19.4 net
TWolves: 135 minutes, +19.2 net
Thunder: 140 minutes, +3.7 net
Knicks: 292 minutes, -8.0 net

I was at the game. I enjoyed watching Frank attack. Your last sequence of Frank playing D, I was yelling the whole time that the Utah player with the ball wasn't going anywhere, that he was on lock -& he was. Robinson is out of shape. He was gassed at times. But he's GOOD

Thibs and Randle were always joined at the hip to me. I wanted Randle gone after year 2, Thibs lost me in year 1 with his obsession with Elfrid Payton (that shoulda been a red flag to everyone).
When they pulled the plug on Randle, Thibs should've been gone too. #knicks

@CPTheFanchise I have severe #knicks PTSD. I've watched the Knicks lose in the ECF, watched them get gentleman swept in the finals, and watched them lose in the Finals up 3-2.
One game at a time. Being up 3-1 means absolutely nothing to me.

Josh Hart has been absolutely putrid all night and Tom Thibodeau refuses to take him out. Perfect example of why Thibs is one of the worst in-game coaches Iāve ever seen in my life. #knicks

According to Thibs, Kolek, Dadiet, Hukporti, and McCullar Jr. are useless. Sims started. Quickley needed to be brought along slowly. RJ was a catch & shoot 3 pt. shooter. Randle was the #1 option.
And Elfrid Payton was the best starting PG option. Thibs HAS BEEN trash. #knicks

The front office made the mistake of pairing a 60+ year old coach with 90ās basketball DNA coursing thru his blood, with a 2025 team built to play 2025, 5 out, double big basketball. Both are foreign to Thibs. It will never work long term. #knicks

When #Knicks fans wonder why the team consistently gets off to slow starts it's because the Thibs keeps running out the worst net rating starting 5 in the playoffs. Brunson, Hart, Bridges, OG, and KAT are playoff worst -8
Obviously Thibs is cool wiith that. He keeps doing it

Tom Thibodeau's career Playoff Record:
38 wins ā 47 losses (.447 winning percentage)
Knicks have the talent.
Some people will get in their feelings over the truth. Grow a pair. He's not the guy. Never has been. Just watch the games unbiasedly. He's our Mark Jackson. #knicks

For 5 seasons Thibs ran two offenses: Iso Julius and Iso Brunson. Thatās not coaching - at all. Thatās being horrifically lazy, outdated, & making it incredibly easy to for opponents to defend them. #knicks

Fans blaming Bridges for missing shots. OG made ZERO 3's, Shamet & Payne took ZERO SHOTS. Check the box score. Thank Bridges for hitting the 8 shots he did make, especially when compared to everyone not named Brunson. If not for Bridges, we get smoked in this game. #knicks

Knicks fans-don't fret about only having 1 pick in this year's draft. Look at this way: Thibs is gone and all 4 draft picks from last year (Hukporti, Kolek, Dadiet, and McCullar Jr. will basically be rookies this year since Thibs refused to play any of them. #knicks

I'll say it again. When the Knicks win, it's despite the coaching, not because of the coaching. When the Knicks lose, it's mostly because of the coaching. The Celtics don't guard Josh Hart. They don't have to. Coach keeps starting Josh Hart. Can't win consistently playing 4 on 5

If you haven't watched at least 70 #Knicks games in their entirety, FOR THE LAST 3 SEASONS, you have an uninformed opinion on Thibs being fired. Couple all that with your opinion that the Knicks FO was dumb for firing him - and you're really outing YOURSELF as being the dumb one

Salute to all #knicks fans who still believe our team can win this series. I do not share that belief. I hope I am wrong & you are right. I do not believe because of how the players are used, when they are used, and who actually plays. Thibs controls all those variables.

It wasnāt just Bridges that called out the head coach, Josh Hart did as well without mentioning Thibsā name when pointed out they were not maximizing KAT. Hart also voiced the wisdom of HIM coming off the bench when Mitch came back. All signs that Thibs might be gone #knicks

Youāre a novice if you watch the Knicks and need the Atlantic to help you see that Tom Thibodeau is the least creative coach in the association who fails to make basic moves during live action. Itās embarrassing to witness.

As long as Thibs is the coach we will never know if we have a Mathurin, a McConnell, a Sheppard, or an Obi. Oh wait, we had Obi & Thibs deemed him useless. The Knicks āhave no benchā because the Knicks have a horrible coach. Yes, I said horrible - 4 seasons ago. #knicks

Let's be honest. The Knicks have looked like trash for the entire post season. They haven't played well from start to finish in ANY of the 11 games they've played despite being fully healthy and having quite a bit of talent.
So what/who do you think is the problem?

People will give Thibs credit for playing his bench when his back was against the wall - but his awful decision making caused everything. Itās like setting your own house on fire and getting credit for trying to put it out - while the house is still on fire #knicks

The Knicks have played 9 playoff games so far and have failed to reach 100 points in 4 of them. It's 2025, not 1995. With all the talent the FO went out and got him, the ONLY explanation for such putrid offense, is the head coach only known for defense. #knicks

The Knicks have THREE 7 foot centers on their roster: Mitch, KAT, and Hukporti, yet somehow, Tom Thibodeau let Luke Kornet turn into prime Mutumbo tonight, standing on the sidelines admiring Kornet's play. I hope the FO sees how much harder winning is with him as coach. #knicks

Been watching the Knicks since the 70ās. I canāt think of ANY player that flipped the switch as hard as Mikal Bridges did in the 4th quarter OF A PLAYOFF GAME. To be scoreless for 3 quarters then turn into prime Jordan on BOTH ends of the court in the 4th-is unheard of

Tom Thibodeau has a career losing record in that playoffs. Each series the #Knicks have played in this yearās playoffs have shined a spotlight on why. Horrible decision making in all aspects of the game, a Mickey Mouse offense, and far too often he doesnāt actually coach.
