    anyone who thinks this is actually news about Thibs doesn’t know NBA ball, rme!

    I’m with Stephen A he’s lost stars to major injures over the years because he runs them in the ground

    Bridges leads the league in minutes by a long shot. He’s going to end up getting hurt at this rate.

    As a Knicks fan good

    Thibs ran Rose into the ground

    OG , who is playing his heart out, and playing great, whiffed on shots at the end of the game, because of fatigue, hours after Bridges said this

    DERRICK ROSE😢

    Shut up SaS

    Perk you Way off on this one; it is a different time, the Pace of the game is too fast. They are running 5 miles per game as before they were Only running 2.5. it is a different day. You can’t expect these guys to keep up at this pace. Thibodeau has got to be smarter than that. 9:08

    Perk is wrong A LOT…I can see why players aren’t fond of him

  22. @Mrlaslaff

    March 13, 2025 at 11:14 pm

    And he proceeded to play him 41 minutes anyway

  23. @superballer88

    March 13, 2025 at 11:18 pm

    Easiest way to sum it up is that Tim does run his starters into the ground, bench players don’t develop, starters get injured because of the heavy minutes all season, then bench isn’t ready to step up because they had no playing time. I’m not understanding how Perk is even disagreeing

  24. @JeremiahMcFarlane

    March 13, 2025 at 11:27 pm

    Well we know what coach is getting sacked next

  25. @sush139

    March 13, 2025 at 11:28 pm

    Why does Thibodoeau keep getting coaching jobs even though he drives players to the ground?? Not yo mention middling results come playoff time.
