Get back to basics. Focus on bball. This is like the first half of Rocky 3 when he got soft and Mr T owns him.

Maybe 10 years ago, not today.
If your F/O is smart, they should try be proactive and try poach a young and dynamic coach like Will Hardy away from The Jazz.
Bias aside (cause he was a former Celtics assistant, and Joe Mazz is doing fine with us so far) I think younger age coaches who are more releatable to the current players ages may have the players respond better these days.
Contenders can compete/challenge for a chip without having a team of vets, something Thibs and his coaching philosophy doesn't get
I do know Jericho Sims is not a popular player amongst your fans, but when he plays us, he does cause interior defensive problems, he is one guys need to hang onto and develop imho.
And as an Aussie hoops fan, i highly recommend you sign Patty Mills, consumate pro and leader and will give JB adequate rest on the bench (if Thibs allows him that is)
I hate saying this but the NBA does need a strong and highly competitive Knicks in the playoffs on a regular basis, I do think a younger coaching staff and more flexible thinking is the tonic your franchise needs to go forwards.
Best of luck for rest of the season.

Not a lot we can do until we get more healthy. OG was a huge difference maker and we miss Randle. I wish Thibs had more common sense on some of his rotation decisions but it is what it is. That may not make a big difference. Games like this it’s just obvious some things are working, and other things aren’t and you need to make adjustments. We can’t afford anymore guys to go down either
My feeling is Bojan might be pressing a bit because he's figuring out his spots and where he fits in. It feels more like he's missing shots that he normally makes. Like last night all his shots were on line but just long. Sometimes it happens. Hopefully once we get all settled he'll find some comfort. I haven't loved Thibs minutes distribution for him either. He's 35 years old why is he playing whole quarters?
Burks i'm a little more worried about at the moment. He just seems frazzled and frenetic out there. Deuce at the moment is a better option even if he has his own drawbacks as a player and I think Thibs is starting to feel that way as well.
Burks needs to focus on facilitating and moving the ball/spacing the floor. He's just been trying to do way too much. Use your handle to get into the paint and make good, simple reads.

Jalen should've been an all star starter.
Nobody knows him so he's not popular enough to get that nod.
Gets interviews because he's starting to get popular.
Jalen needs to stop doing these interviews and podcasts.
Needs to focus on bball.
Knicks fans gonna Knicks fans.
