My evaluation of the Knicks 7 losses this season, 90% of the blame goes straight to head coach Thibs substitution .. just like last night game.
I believe Thibs has got to old to coach and make quick decisions .. the old Thibs never would've taken Noah out the game after Noah fell on his hip. Thibs would've been preaching throughout the time-out we only got 3 more minutes Noah for the win.
The Magics center Bamba stopped Randle from scoring inside baskets all night, plus grabbed rebounds over Randle on both sides of the court. When Thibs put Randle in the game the final 4 minutes to replace a injured MitchRob, the Magics put Bamba back into the game those final 4 minutes. Knicks had a 94-91 lead, and the ball. Two minutes later the Magic has a one pt lead 95-94 .. Thibs take Obi Toppin out the game to put in D.Rose. The final 2 min of the game Bamba out-rebounds the Knicks lineup on both sides of the court.
The Knicks best creative scoring trio the past two seasons has been D.Rose, Quickley, and Obi Toppin.
The Knicks need to work a trade with Philly .. PG Randle for PG Ben Simmons !!!
