While I agree, it may be a longer term move if they have their target in mind. Let's say they want Coach X but he's not available. Does it make sense to dump Thibs now or at the end of last year to just hire a patsy for a few months to half a year?

SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/26/2022 8:04 pm : link
True. I was looking @ LAL finalists...none of the names are too inspiring. We need a Ime Udoka like hire.

Diop worked in Utah with Bryant and Mitchell...

The thinking is when Thibs is gone Bryant is taking over and Diop will be moved up..

Hard to understand why a cosch would give up an NBA assistant job to be Gleague coach
Randle, Burks, Kemba and the 11th for Kyrie

Yeah I'm partially to blame for that.  
bceagle05 : 5/27/2022 1:52 pm : link
I'll steer clear of that hornets nest from now on.

Our buddy John Schmeelk was on the Knicks Film School podcast, linked below. Always enjoy his perspective on the Knicks, which tends to be a lot less homerish than the usual Knicks social media community.

CP the fanchise from Knicksfantv landed a gig on NBA radio on Sirius  
Stu11 : 5/27/2022 2:11 pm : link
Well deserved. He does a great job and is all class.
I really liked Schmeelk's pod...  
Jan in DC : 5/27/2022 2:15 pm : link
and sad that he canceled it, but I'm glad that he's popping on KFS (and probably KFTV at some point).

I saw that CP landed that Sirius gig and while I'm happy for him, I'm worried about what it means for the youtube show. I basically don't want to subscribe to radio just for his show. I hope it's simulcast or something.
You could tell from the start CP was a natural.  
bceagle05 : 5/27/2022 3:00 pm : link
Surprised these opportunities didn't come around sooner, and I'm also selfishly concerned about the YouTube content he delivers.

I too was guilty...

Although all I did was say some science stuff...

I mean  
djm : 5/27/2022 3:16 pm : link
look, Kyrie is weird, but if you had a crystal ball telling you that the mandates and other restrictions are sort of going to go the way of the dodo these next few years, or things will at least be a little more malleable, maybe now is the perfect time to buy low on a guy like Kyrie.

Sometimes you do have to take risks and maybe a risk like this is worth taking, sort of like when we traded Starks for a much better player in Spreewell. We bought low then and reaped the rewards.
it's pretty safe to say  
djm : 5/27/2022 3:18 pm : link
the single biggest reason why the Knicks made the finals in 99 was because Spreewell tried to choke PJ out to a dirt nap.

Maybe Kyrie's weirdness would be the blessing in disguise we need. How come other teams can take advantage of this shit but not the Knicks?

Or maybe it's a disaster waiting to happen.
wasnt me.

The thing is with Irving...it is ALWAYS something. If it's not getting vaxxed, it is burning all the bridges outta town in Boston. He's just a weird fucking dude who I want no part of as a Knick. Yeah, the talent is undeniable, but so is the kookiness.
Miami forces a seventh game.  
bceagle05 : 5/27/2022 11:24 pm : link
Butler with 47 points. Thought they were dead after game five.
I too thought it was a wrap after Boston went up 3-2.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/28/2022 8:36 am : link
Hate them, but there's something to be said for 'Heat Culture'. I still would put $ on Celts winning tomorrow night; in a game 7, I'd give the home team the edge, but homecourt has meant nothing in this series, as the road team has won 4 of the 6 games. Also, Miami's fans suck.

‘Heat Culture’ should be ‘Knicks Culture’. A shame how it all turned out. MSG fucked around and couldn’t pay Riley his $10k for that Reno trip in 1994.
Article on how great Riley is..  
Sean : 5/28/2022 5:12 pm : link
Funny how the Heat never need to “tank”, Riley is the biggest mistake the Knicks have ever made letting him leave. I’ve grown to really appreciate how great he is.

I can't stand Riles, but one would have to be a fool not to acknowledge how great he's been. He's won/built winners everywhere he's gone.

Over unders for this game  
GNewGiants : 5/29/2022 7:35 pm : link
Illegal Bam’s screen is 7.5 (he had 23 last game to break Kevin garnetts playoff record)

Grabs by PJ Tucker is 20.5 (he only got called for 4 last game)

Complaints by Lowry and Tucker is 176.5 (easy over. Lock of the year).
I think Cs win this.  
SFGFNCGiantsFan : 5/29/2022 7:40 pm : link
Better team.
Boston lucky so far  
GNewGiants : 5/29/2022 9:06 pm : link
That Miami is sleepwalking because Smart and Tatum are taking turns at taking horrific shots. Once Miami wakes up and shots fall - Boston needs more from these 2.
Mike Breen tested positive for COVID.  
bceagle05 : 5/29/2022 9:15 pm : link
JVG doesn’t sound all that great either.
Robert Williams  
GNewGiants : 5/29/2022 9:24 pm : link
Shouldn’t play the rest of the game. His defense is pathetic.

Smart has to stop shooting. Hasn’t taken a good shot yet.
If Boston wins tonight, I believe five wins by the road team  
shyster : 5/29/2022 9:25 pm : link
will tie the NBA record for a seven game series.

Boston called for 7 fouls in 5 minutes. Scott foster has to keep this close…
Boston living and dying by the 3s  
GNewGiants : 5/29/2022 9:45 pm : link
They already look tired. Shots are coming up short late in the quarter.

And the celts head coach better start figuring how to defend Butler. Not guarding him and letting him comfortable will lead to a loss.
20 free throws for the Heat in the 2nd quarter  
GNewGiants : 5/29/2022 9:51 pm : link
Sorry Celtics fans. It happened last game and this game as well. The flipping Heat got every call.
I’ve never seen  
GNewGiants : 5/29/2022 10:18 pm : link
An overrule on a made shot like that. Killer for Heat.

Smart making me eat my words.
Scott Foster back in action  
GNewGiants : 5/29/2022 10:24 pm : link
Horrific charge call followed up by 2 no calls at Tatum at the rim.

No one is more consistent at throwing games than him. Just ask his buddy Timmy.
Boston coach is going to lose this  
GNewGiants : 5/29/2022 10:43 pm : link
By playing Robert Williams. He has no business in this game. He is so out of control. Can’t defend anyone and brings nothing offensively.

Sitting jaylen brown for him is a rookie move.
No clue what Boston is doing the last 2 minutes  
GNewGiants : 5/29/2022 11:11 pm : link
Smart chucking up bad 3 after bad 3. Udoze leaving a Grant Williams in the game to do nothing. Not using any timeouts.

This would be an epic collapse.
