NBA playoffs, the Knicks lost to the Pacers 121-130 and fell behind their opponents 1-3 in the series. In this game, the Knicks are still his own problem, because they have not handled offense and defense well. The culprit here must be Thibodeau. He cannot give any impetus to the team in terms of personnel and tactics.

, especially the use of the point of Towns, is what makes fans the most desperate. After this series, as long as the ball is given to Towns, he will definitely get enough ball rights. In the second quarter, it was because of Towns' performance that the team equalized or even overtook. Unfortunately, Towns played with Brunson again in the second half. Why is that? As long as the two of them are on the court, Towns definitely has no right to the ball. Even if Towns succeeds in getting the ball at the basket, he will not be able to receive the ball. Isn’t this an obvious waste of strength? I hope that this point in Towns can give football rights in the future. Thibodeau also needs to tell the players in the team that Towns is the first scoring point.

And the double tower strategy is also a mess. As long as you go to the double towers, the opponents on the defensive end can easily create open spaces, and the space on the offensive end will also be limited, which will hinder the team's offensive and defensive strategy in all aspects. Even after the first half was not easy to use, I still insisted on using this combination in the second half. Isn’t this just giving points to the opponent? From these two aspects, Thibodeau has little resilience, which will completely damage the team's ceiling.

Even in the establishment of the defensive system, the Knicks are in a mess. Especially if the opponent changes defense, it is basically an opportunity for empty space. Even at the basket, the same is true. Even they don’t give the pressure from the ball holder, and they will have problems no matter how they play. No wonder the Pacers can easily score 100 points in three quarters, and this defensive intensity is really too bad. The playoffs are the moment when defense is the king, but the Knicks' defense is no different from giving away points.
