    The Knicks are looking at someone who will get them 6 more wins along with their current success. I think it’s easier for them to go backwards than finding the guy that can guarantee a title.

    Hoping Mike Malone gets the job. He’s a Queens native, grew up a Knicks fan. He was an assistant for us as well as his father. He won a chip in Denver in 2023.

    What fan base is asking why Thibs got fired? I’m a Knick fan and I know why he got fired. I think we all know why he got fired. You just don’t like the reason, yet you’ve been speaking on it all season. πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

    If JJ reddick can be a coach without experience and Tyron lue. Give Rick Brunson a shot

    This is James Dolan fault

    Max Kellerman called it

    Mark Jackson is the answer 😐

    I WAS BORN A KNICKS FAN WE NEED MIKE MALONE PLAYING 8 GUYS 82 GAMES PLUS PLAYOFFS WE NOT GONNA WIN NOTHING WE NEED A GOOD 6TH MAN AND 3 SUBS THAT CAN PLAY DEFENSE!!!

    No smart coach would dare take the high-pressure Knicks job, knowing that Dolan will still fire you even if you win.

  14. @JasyiNelson

    June 4, 2025 at 9:38 pm

    In so many words Smith said Donovan Mitchell got JB fired and Bridges got Thibs fired

    Give mark jackson the Knicks job and let him take credit for building them up like β€œTHEY” did with Steve Kerr

    Diehard Knicks fans watch the every seconds of the game. These analysts cover so many team and maybe watch 25% of the games they cover. Thank you Mr. Dolan for listening to the fans and gave us the 2nd best thing to a championship and that is firing Thibs, and bringing in a new voice. Thibs had five years and is still as stubborn as the coach back in the 90s. The 2 teams in the finals play a 10-11 man rotation. The two teams who did not make it, play a 7-8 man rotation. Thibs only played the 7-8 man bc of foul trouble. He is mentally-challenged at his mature ag. Losing Game 1 of the Pacers series is an inexcusable lost!

    Everybody overrating thibs. Same lineups and no adjustments to the obvious. Give me on point sharp kidd, rondo, tjenkins.

    Hire Jeff Van Gundy and Patrick Ewing

    Three coaches in three years.

    I think Mark Jackson, a former New York Knick would do wonders for the New York Knicks and definitely he would bring a championship and an identity that they need

    What’s funny is during the playoffs everyone was talking about tibs coaching his way out of a job. Now that he lost it people got his back..

    MIKE BROWN …………… MIKE BROWN …………,MIKE BROWN
