RJ Barrett & Thibs on Knicks' Lack of Hustle vs Nets | New York Knicks

[jimsmith]

They played like they were afraid of the Nets. Too much individual dribbling, foolish hasty shots and leaving opponents open for 3. Bring on Mark Jackson

I’m down for tanking and Fired thibbs this game was embarrassing

[leapdrive]

The Knicks were intimidated by KD, plain and simple. They have no real leader who refuses to lose. There are leaders with the emotion to lead, and there are followers looking for mom when they see the big bad wolf. The Knicks showed fear once again the second time this season. They will quickly fissile out in the play-off if they even make it there. 😢

The players stopped responding to thibadeau's coaching ever since last season and it shows.

Every time I think this team is gelling here comes Randle to dribble the air out the ball. Just trade the man already.

[samodobro]

Good luck in life Tom, it's time to say goodbye 🙏

[slowrunner]

It's on Thib's that they were not ready to play! Totally embarassing since they not only lack talent but first and foremost the Knicks don't hustle on defense. At least two years ago they played defense and hustled, but this team lacks fight and good strategy.

I love how Rebecca prefaced her question with "I know you need to look at the film"... 🤣

[DavidFonseca]

When he says things like "We were trying to do it by ourselves too much" he's definitely talking about Randle.

[davidpiccolo]

Too many left handers on the court at the same time. You have to go left right left right like a baseball lineup

[mdrake]

Every game from one game to another game you just don't know what knicks team will come out the team needs to hold each other accountable from now on to play as a team not one player or players trying to play hero ball .

[siyanhall]

What was Thibs game plan? It is always take a look at the film and no corrections. The nets was up in the Knicks grill on defense why the Knicks did not do the same. Zone D and Iso was the game plan Mr Tbibs.

[XNBeatsMusic]

lets rebuild....we've seen enough. When I mean rebuild is bench/trada Randle, Fournier, RJ, Rose and all the guys that don't want to be This was the most pathetic game in a while, and the Hawks was pathetic already, this was worst than that. This game was a new low..

[biglegacy]

Rj name from now on is Ronda Jenkins until he put in some work and stop stealing house money

[rick]

NO NEED TO WATCH THIBS POST GAME BECAUSE HE GOING TO WATCH THE FLIM

[Svs-]

God what the heck... looked worse than a G league team.... come on knicks... Is the practice hard that you have no energy... its crazy.... put some effort

[TheJehovaShalom]

The Nets just had an all-night block party when it comes to whooping the Knicks' behind. I don't know how the Knicks practice for this game, feeling confident, feeling pumped up, and yet they still get embarrassed by the Nets. Neither Reddish, Rose, or Toppin scored at all. Either they scored little or nothing at all. And Fournier did score, but looked lost and disoriented out there.

[djbiography]

How you going to make adjustments for the next game when you playing a different team..this would make sense for tibs if they were playing the nets again. These reporters not reporting right smfh 🤦🏾

[randolphrandy]

RJ can't even make most of his layups, and he was picked number 3

[Ralph_Malph]

Knicks need to clean house. Keep RJ Barrett and Obi Toppin. Rest can go home.
