I gather this factors in injuries?

I think that's the biggest reason Knicks have so many minutes together, hardly any missed games from starters.

Wanted to clear that up before the "Ministers of Minutes", Formally known as the "minutes police" jump on it without context.
Max Stress has only played 5 games this season.

Thibs homers, unite! From an old friend:

Coach Tom Thibodeau is 1 win away (199) from his 200th win as Knicks Head Coach.

After Patrick Ewing and before Coach #Thibs (19 years) throughout 2000-2001 up until Thibs arrival of 2020-2021?

Jeff Van Gundy: 58-43.
Don Nelson: 34-25.
Don Chaney: 72-112.
Herb Williams: 17-27.
Lenny Wilkens: 40-41.
Larry Brown: 23-59.
Isiah Thomas: 56-108.
Mike D'Antoni: 121-167.
Mike Woodson: 109-79.
Derek Fisher: 40-96.
Kurt Rambis: 9-19.
Jeff Hornacek: 60-104.
David Fizdale: 21-83.
Mike Miller: 17-27.

Those 14 Head Coaches combined for a Losing Record of 671-990 @ only .403% and 319 Games Below .500.

But ever since the arrival of #Tom #Thibodeau our Knicks have since gone 199-153 @ .565% and 46 Games Above .500.

What makes this extremely impressive and outright unreal is Coach Thibs single handedly ended a 7 Year Playoff Drought and is now on the verge of leading New York into the Playoffs 4/5 years in comparison to missing the Playoffs 16/19 years before his arrival.

And unlike both Pat Riley and Jeff Van Gundy who both inherited absolutely stacked rosters?

Coach #Thibs had to completely rebuild and turn around this entire Franchise.

Pat Riley (1991-1992) inherited a team led by Patrick Ewing who had already made the Playoffs during 4 consecutive years in a row (before Pat Riley's arrival) with players already on the Roster such as Mark Jackson, Greg Anthony, John Starks, Anthony Mason, Charles Oakley, Xavier McDaniel and Patrick Ewing before ever "coaching" his 1st Game as Knicks Head Coach.

Jeff Van Gundy (1995-1996) inherited a team who had already made the Playoffs during 9 consecutive years in a row (before JVG's arrival) with players already on the roster such as Derek Harper, Charlie Ward, John Starks, Anthony Mason, Charles Oakley and Patrick Ewing before ever "coaching" his 1st Game as Knicks Head Coach.

Yes.

Coach #Thibs is the greatest Knicks Head Coach of All-Time not named Red Holzman.

No one saw this vision coming into focus lol

Surprised at the passing % honestly. But can you complain when he is also the top FG% shooter?

VDesai @ 1/17/2025 10:38 AM
Once he gets low he's usually taking the shot. In all honesty you'd like to see it more, especially as teams give him mismatches. OKC defended him with Jalen Williams and we couldn't really exploit it. He has such great touch it seems like never misses.

He seems way better passing out of the high post than low post

I thought they would run more of the high post thing too

Im a big defender of Brunson's athleticism. He's a top shelf athlete, he's just not typical of an NBA athlete. Imagine chasing Brunson around the pocket as a QB? He looks more like a third baseman with power than an NBA PG. Point is he's got some physical traits that help and if you watch you can see him doing some things. He's hard to move. He's very strong and has a very strong base. If he fights over screens you feel it. Getting "physical" with him is not going to go well. He's a height liability and there are always times in the NBA that's going to hurt you, but they have done a good job imo.

and he's a wrecking ball. The damage he does in his post scoring is seriously felt after games on these guys. Its part what I liked about Randle and RJ and I think KAT really brings that back and it's a flavor of being physical we really need.

I think a lot of us thought KAT was a finesse guy but he's just not. He's a power guy with incredible skill.
