Wait, I thought the owner isn’t/hasn’t been involved? But take a step back: He wasn’t a fan of the only Knicks coach to do any real and sustained winning the last quarter century? How is that possible in a results oriented business? That’s madness.

James Dolan reportedly “spearheaded” Tom Thibodeau’s firing, per @VinceGoodwill. “What was clear was Thibodeau’s firing being spearheaded by Knicks owner James Dolan, sources told Yahoo Sports. Dolan and team president Leon Rose held exit meetings with key Knicks players and the https://t.co/1hpjqpamUc

Pure class.

Players as pawns. Always productive when the front office throws the players under the bus. That playbook has been used before.

Ian Begley @IanBegley

Entire Knick roster had strong respect/admiration for Tom Thibodeau. Players interviewed this week in assessment spoke respectfully of Thibodeau while also pointing out areas that needed to change/improve. That feedback factored into Thibs ouster: https://t.co/VeDo3olh1c

If the Pacers go on to win this series the Knicks are gonna fire Mark Daigneault.

Why no NBA Finals logo on the court and the uniforms?

Yes Robert, you think 17 playoff wins the last two years represents failure. That’s fine. But using your sophisticated scoring system who gets the blame for all the losing and dysfunction the previous 18 years? You must have a name/nanes. Anything?

Robert Randolph @robertrandolph

@TheFrankIsola is a nice genuinely good guy , but he’d rather keep the coach that will Lose To rick Carlisle again and NOT play the bench , and also have Brunson , Kat OG hart . All have short careers like . ROSE , Noah , Deng ,

The front office traded Obi for two picks. You’re bad at both math and Knicks history.

Robert Randolph @robertrandolph

What’s the explanation for losing 2 years in a row after being the favorite against INDY ? What’s the excuse ? Also trading yur lottery pick to the team that beat you both years and played well hitting daggers . ? Any explanation?

The 2014-15 Knicks had nine guys play at least 40 games and average over 13 minutes. To @robertrandolph that was a smashing success. Don’t be fooled by the 17-65 record. Minor detail.

Robert, like you I’m not good at math but the NBA judges success on wins, not on how many lineups you use and players you play. It’s a results oriented business not a U12 soccer team. I’ll bet the next coach won’t view 10 playoff wins as a failure.

Thibs had this lineup and still only played 7 guys 900000 mins . Brunson OG Dante Hartenstein Hart Bogey Burkes Precious Mitch Deuce https://t.co/GcBcz2OxDh

And you wanted Ronaldo to only play 60 minutes.

Now that the Knicks have established they are “singularly focused on winning a championship” (who knew?) what happens if they don’t win 11 playoff games next year? Coach goes? The front office? I get it, they think this season is a failure but 11 postseason wins is a high bar.

Great coach…who has one playoff win the last two years and lost his home games to mighty Cleveland by 37 & 55. There is no sure fire, perfect guy out there. It’s about having the best players.

Dolan J. Trump @Dolan_J_Trump

Wouldn’t it be poetic if 30 years later Erik Spoelstra faxes (or emails) Pat Riley his resignation to become the next head coach of the Knicks?

NBA coach: “Not knowing your role is code for I don't like my role.”

Wonder what the reaction was on Precious Achiuwa Place and P.J. Tucker Way?

Utter nonsense. Your role is to defend, rebound and play hard. You don’t win 51 games, beat Boston and reach the conference finals without knowing roles. Give me a break.

Knicks Fan TV 🏀🎥📺🏁 @KnicksFanTv

According to @CPTheFanchise, a common theme of players not knowing their roles is what led to Tom Thibodeau being fired! 👀 "The main theme as it related to the coach, was that players did not know their role, roles were not clarified on this team. That was the main theme." https://t.co/VNawdtgITj

That’s what I think could happen.
