BREAKING: The Phoenix Suns dismissed coach Monty Williams, sources tell ESPN. Williams was a two-time NBA Coach of the Year in four seasons with Suns — including a trip to 2021 NBA Finals. Suns lost 6-game series to Nuggets in Western Semifinals.

It was never going to be this year. They will have access to exceptions in the upcoming offseasons and more picks to trade while they wait out the death of the Celtics superteam. There's a reason they built a core full of guys who are 27-29 and locked up for years.

This isn't even remotely true?.
Donte DiVincenzo was way more important to the Knicks success last year than Isaiah Hartenstein. I don’t think it’s really even close.

Josh Hart (6'4") had the 6th most rebounds in the NBA in 2024. Do you understand how crazy that is?.
2024 LEADERS & CELEBRATING THE PAST 25 YEARS OF HOOPS. As 2024 ends and 2025 begins, the game does not stop. But before players start racking up points, boards, assists, steals, blocks and threes, let’s take a look back at the players that led the way in 2024. FIVE KEY

It's pretty obvious that Thibs' overuse of the starters has led to them being exhausted, and being exhausted leads to missed jumpers. They haven't shot 40% from 3 in a single game since before Christmas.

There’s been a clear shift in Thibs’ rotation the past couple games. Feels like he’s finally adjusted and is going to the bench way earlier. Would never see 1 bench player on the court 8 mins into the game, let alone 3.

The Knicks are routinely manhandled on the offensive glass and are currently bottom half of the NBA in defensive field goal percentage at the rim, but sure let’s trade Mitchell Robinson.

Same dude who clowns the Mikal trade LMAO.
I think some NBA teams are too worried about losing trades. When you’re a contender / win now mode you have to make trades that you may “lose”, you have to overpay etc. you get to make the savy fleeces when you’re rebuilding, can’t be a concern when winning.

These games don’t actually matter. You need depth in the playoffs and if you don’t play the young guys now you won’t be able to when it matters.
I have a serious Q for the min police. Would you rather more Payne Shamet & Precious & just never be in control of this game at all in a loss just the same but our starters all around 35?. Or do you think if we played more Payne Shamet & Precious we would have more likely won?.

There's a clear gap between the Celtics/Cavs and Knicks, and then another clear gap between the Knicks and everyone else in the East. They're 7-3 against the 4-8 seeds in the East, and 0-4 vs the Hawks and Bulls who are 9 and 10. Neither of those teams are close to NYK.
Assuming this 28-point lead holds, the Knicks' record break down:. 0-5 against top-2 teams in each conference. 7-7 vs. 4-10 in East (postseason teams). 3-1 vs. 4-10 in West (postseason teams). 13-1 vs. the bottom 5 teams in each conference.
