    1. Knicks never said they were putting the banner up. 2. Defense has been bad all year, but offense has also been garbage past 11 games. Can barely get to 100 points, 3pt shooting has been down. 3. Long live thibs.

    It seems someone in the organization purposely sabotaged the knicks when they fired the coach who took them to the eastern conference finals last year! That’s the only way I can make sense of this situation, its no surprise they are in this slump!

    So now Nets can laugh at Knicks! After Nets were laughing stock of NBA with “Nets Nash debacle” So help me! Knicks lose to Nets tonight and problems on this team is worse than people been thinking! Much worse! My eyes have been on Mike Brown since beginning! Final report card on him will be at end of season! So first 25 games were good. I give him a B because team was two games better than last year. We haven’t reached second 25 yet. It’s at 18. Ain’t looking good! 7-11. I’ve been some what befuddled with the fact Mike Brown is pointing his finger when in my opinion several fingers are pointing back at him!!!!!!!!!!! What I suspect and time will tell, has Brown’s approach ran out of gas? About time some are wising up with the finger pointing. I’ve been on Brown’s case from the get go! Do you blame me? After you get rid of Tom! You darn right! You do that and it equates to Mike having to do better!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    om Thibodeau’s coaching record with the New York Knicks (2020-2025) was 226-174 in the regular season, marking a 56.5% win rate, and he led them to four playoff appearances, including their first Eastern Conference Finals in 25 years, earning him the 2021 NBA Coach of the Year award before being let go in June 2025. And you fire him! INSANE! CFRAZY! And why? Because all these know it alls are complaining. Crying: Oh Tom is playing them too hard….snifffffff tears……..mommy Tom isn’t playing the bench……snifffff tears. Bunch of cry babies. Mommy… Tom doesn’t know how to work with rookies/young players, Are you Fing happy now! Idiots. Just because Tom treated his players like the men they are. Did he know that bench just wasn’t strong enough? JERKS! Yeah Kolek! Keep dreamin! And other scrubs Mike throws in where starters have to adjust and make up for their mistakes!

    They need Giannis but thanks to their general manager blowing draft picks. They wonโ€™t be able to get him.
