The New York Knicks are in a slide. Jalen Brunson should be absent For at least the rest of March And maybe until early April with an ankle sprain. They are registered as the third attack with a clear note from the last 10 since the break of the stars. And they have now lost four of their last six games after a 97-94 defeat in the hands of the Golden State Warriors on Saturday.
Forgive everyone at Knicks Land if they run a little hot under the necklace for the moment.
It is in this context in mind that we bring you this, we will say, the fiery exchange between the coach of the Knicks, Tom Thibodeau, and the striker Josh Hart in a time of time during the defeat of Saturday.
“I love Josh, you know,” said Thibodeau after the match, which implies that he was just trying to set fire to his team. “Anything that can make us move forward, try to make us move forward.”
Fred Katz of athletics followed by asking Thibodeau if he ranks the exchange as a “passionate moment” and Thibodeau said: “Yes, that’s all.”
Here is the agreement: these small dusts occur all the time in competitive environments. In a vacuum, it is not something to be worked. But there are clearly some tensions in the Knicks at the moment. Mikal Bridges and Thibodeau had to have a “Productive” meeting After Bridges has mainly called Thibs for playing the beginners of the Knicks too many minutes. And again, the offense has been in disorder for some time and losses accumulate without Brunson. Hart did not score a single point on Saturday, missing his seven shots.
This small square in the group was probably the result of the cumulative stress which was built inside the walls of the Knicks. Losing will do that. The good news is that the Knicks have a series of matches to come, with clashes against heat, spurs, hornets, sorcerers, mavericks, Blazers and 76ers in seven of their next nine. Perhaps they can reverse their Mojo a little above this section, then recover Brunson for the end of the season before heading for the playoffs on a good note.
