This read makes me think about how Karl-Anthony Towns said he didn’t like Thibodeau because he cares too much about basketball and everyone was like, “wow that guy must really suck at coaching” instead of asking any questions about the other guy
Josh Hart can’t stop laughing whenever Tom Thibodeau yells at him. Jalen Brunson prefers a passionate coach. Isaiah Hartenstein has never felt so prepared.

The Knicks were eviscerated by pundits for not acquiring Donovan Mitchell and giving Jalen Brunson a descending 4yr/$104mil deal. Brunson just led NYK past Mitchell and the Cavs in the first round in 5 games and, in doing so, sent Mitchell home for the second year in a row.

If the New York Knicks can hold this margin over the Nuggets, that'll be Denver, Minnesota, and Philadelphia, three of the 2024 NBA's powers, that they've blown out since acquiring Anunoby.
They're doing it tonight without either of their two best centers. Still early, though.

Knicks below the luxury tax bc Hart opted in. Leon Rose is building a culture directly resulting in players prioritizing the team’s needs to their own. Although a small signing, what it took to add DiVincenzo to last year’s 5th Seed is further proof of the strong culture in NYC.

The narrative is already growing strong that the Cavaliers were eliminated by the Knicks because they were young & inexperienced.
Robinson, Hart, Grimes, & McBride had never played in the NBA Playoffs prior to this series. Most only had the five games vs. ATL under their belt.

The sell: if Jalen Brunson and Julius Randle are your guys, the trio of Grimes/Anunoby/Robinson around them is out of a dream. One second round pick, per

Why are Quickley’s averages in his starts being excluded? Stepping up is part of the job. If Derrick White were under the games started threshold, he’d deserve the award and nobody would be excluding his stats as a starter to discredit his case. Never seen this in a 6MoTY race
