Tbh, A few might think MONTY Williams should be the one to get this AWARD but I beg the Differ because NYK didn’t have not one Super⭐️ & they went #4 n the EAST wit not a lot of TALENT?? It was Randles 1st All⭐️ Appearance. Meanwhile, u have a Hall of Fame PG n CP3 & a SG that’s a BEAST n BOOKER so that should speak for itself?? The Suns practically has more Talent than the Knicks so it’s well Deserved to give this Award to THIBS?? Great JOB turning NY around to bigger & brighter things to come…

Team got embarrassed in the first round of the playoffs this literally proves media bias in sports no way Tom actually deserves this award , the same people saying the knicks have minimal talent are the same ones who acted like Julius randle was an mvp type player lol Quin Snyder clearly deserved this award unless you’re a knicks fan.

@Clutch7 they really did a great job defending trae young in the playoffs when things actually mattered….

@Big Dawggg Bachi im not on here discrediting Snyder like you are to Thibs… if they won id congratulate them too
Did you watch the series? U have to pick your poison with Trae, they had shooters everywhere and Capela rolling … cant stop everything … and Knicks have no all-nba defenders

@Clutch7 yea I watched the series I felt like the knicks got embarrassed. I felt like they quit trying to compete at times…it’s not like the hawks all of a sudden developed shooters out of nowhere, how did they not game plan for that? All these knicks fans like Stephen a smith are delusional, the fact that thibs coached the knicks played into him winning the award, that’s my only beef, I strongly feel like if he did the same thing on the wizards and they got knocked in the first round like that nobody would care, he won because he coaches the knicks.

@Big Dawggg Bachi so i guess u dont get basketball or u didnt read what i said
YOU HAVE TO PICK YOUR POISON … Do you know to stop Trae you need to double? Leaving Capela wide open … Guard both of them? Now a shooters open
And with all of that, every game was still close even with Randle and Barrett shooting poorly

@Clutch7 the only games that were close were games 1-2 I’m not sure what you watched…if the knicks got beat like that against the hawks they would have lost to any team in the playoffs…maybe you don’t get basketball, but almost every team has shooters that can hit open threes and trae young is not even close to being the best player in the league…all of this is irrelevant though, all I’m saying is quin Snyder got robbed because there are more knicks fans who vote on these things, I mean they broke an nba record for most three pointers in a game and had the best record all year long and are probably going to win a title, but all Knicks fans can sleep good knowing they have the best coach in the nba lol

Steph curry didn’t win mvp because his team lost 7 or 8 games more than the nuggets…thibs gets coach of year with a mediocre record and embarrassing first round loss. How does the team record matter so much when judging players for mvp but not for coach? How did Quin Snyder not win this other than the people who voted were knicks fans?

Thibs is a Necromancer, not a coach. He raised the Knicks from the dead

Why is Scott Perry even there? No offense to him. He seems great but how many Presidents, GMs whatever you want to call em’s can you have. Scott made some bad decisions especially draft choices. He is honestly the last of the old regime.

Personally don’t agree cause I’m a life long sun’s fan but hard to argue stats and facts. Thib killed it this year, theres not much more to it he had the least to work with and made it work the best. What the man did was so impressive and I can’t do nothing but wish it went to my man on the sun’s but tip.my hat outta respect to the season thib had.

I wish they could’ve done a “Co-Coach of The Year” both Thibbs and Monty deserved it!
I kinda gave the edge to Monty, but, it truly could’ve gone either way.
Salute to Thibbs!

Monty Williams was born on 3rd base and thought he hit a triple. Tom Thibodeau hit a double.

Surprised they didn’t say anything about “ he only won coach of the year because he’s white . “ Monty Williams or Nate McMillan probably deserved it , but Tibbs gets it because of skin color . smh

I wonder how much money James Dolan paid Tom to say nice things about him

I guess the argument for him is that the Knicks didn’t add anything this year that made them this much better, it was mostly just coaching. Whereas the Suns added cp3 and had Booker turning superstar.
