"The Knicks are 4-18 this season, and 21-83 in less than two years under Fizdale. He did a bad job with a bad team, but the people who put him in that position remain behind and gainfully employed. This was the way it was always going to go down. Someone had to be the fall guy for this latest abject disaster of a season, and Knicks president Steve Mills and general manager Scott Perry made it pretty plain they wouldn’t be pointing fingers at themselves."
THIBS was given everything he asked for this season. He wanted Miles McBride. He wanted another point guard, he got an enthusiastic Kemba. He got Evan Fournier. Resigned Alec Burks. Allstar Jules, his main mule, got his dough.
And what does he do, run them into the ground just like he did his players in Minny and Chi.
And shit on Kemba.
Then when backed into a corner, plays his rookies and they are ready and willing.
But goes back to the 8 man rotation as soon as who he is comfortable with is 80% healthy....and we continue to lose.
The east is not the same. Cleveland and Washington have strong squads. The Bucks are healthy, Miami will be healthy in the spring, Atlanta is healthy, Chicago...well hopefully they all get through the Covid protocols and come out healthy...Boston is back to reasonable health. Charlotte is where Chi is, so they will be back...that is eight squads right there. Not even talking about Brooklyn.
Fuck talking about the players. THIBS either has to adjust, or pack his shit and get on the New Haven line and take his dusty ass back to New Britain.
