"What Tom Thibodeau did to his coaching strategy during the Eastern Conference finals might've assured his firing." —Brian Windhorst

@WindhorstESPN Thibs sitting Kat for the 4th quarter Or when he didn’t call a time out to bring Brunson into the game Or like when he played Josh hart over Mitchell Robinson in the whole 4th quarter. Not playing deuce. PUTTING CAM PAYNE IN THE GAME. THE LIST GOES ON

@WindhorstESPN Credit to Pacers but with better coaching Knicks win this series in 6 games! Pacers are not a world beater team! I agree with your initials posts but I feel if he played the bench more in the regular season and beginning of the playoffs, Knicks beat the pacers!

@WindhorstESPN ANOTHER TAKE STOLEN FROM ME 🙄

@WindhorstESPN Since @GetUpESPN can't think if anything else to talk about other than Shedeur Sanders, shouldn't he be the next coach of the Knicks?.. my God.. enough!.I'm sick of hearing about Shedeur Sanders!..find something else to obsess about!! Damn!!

@WindhorstESPN Oof, tough take. @alexgraytrust’s breakdowns actually helped me see how adjustments—or lack thereof—can make or break a situation, not just in hoops but elsewhere too. Thibs might’ve needed a better game plan!

@WindhorstESPN Certain players not getting back on defense ruined Thibs’ “strategy”

@WindhorstESPN I'm not so sure they're right. KAT got the Western Conference Finals last year with Anthony Edwards. This year he gets to the Eastern Conference Finals with Jalen Brunson and the Knicks. It's the first time NY has gotten to the Conference Finals in 25 years. He did his job!

@WindhorstESPN It was Thibs’ strategy that players were lackadaisical at times, were turnover prone, and subject to mental lapses. The team as assembled could not match the speed, physicality, intensity, and skill of a superior roster.

@WindhorstESPN You say they won 2 of the next. 3. 1 of those games Kat had 4pts for 3qts and 20 in the 4th. Is that because he played the bench? 🤔🤔 make it make sense

@Espngreeny @WindhorstESPN I guess success in the NBA doesn't mean nothing to some teams. Coach Tibs should never have got fired. He should have got a raise. He should have got more money from the Knicks.
