It’s no surprise that an NBA coach watched the dunk contest. Surely most if not all of them do. So why the headline? Because it’s just fun to keep track of stuff Tom Thibodeau does. Via the New York Post: Obi Toppin didn’t expect coach Tom Thibodeau to be as excited as he was after

Tom Thibodeau’s first decision to challenge a foul call late in the fourth quarter was questionable, but his second was not even allowed — and it wound up costing the Knicks. The veteran coach admitted having a brain cramp as the Knicks fell to the Thunder 127-123 in overtime Monday night, calling another challenge when
SALT LAKE CITY — There wasn’t any garbage time Saturday night at the newly named Crypto.com Arena when the Knicks battled the Lakers in a roller-coaster contest. That means Cam Reddish sat. Reddish sat through regulation. And he sat through overtime in what eventually became a 122-115 Hollywood heartbreaker to the Lakers. Since suiting up
The newest member of the New York Knicks is former lottery pick Cam Reddish. In a recent trade, the Knicks sent out Kevin Knox and a first-round pick to the Atlanta Hawks in exchange for a package that included the young swingman. While Reddish has the talent to help New York win games now, he
The Knicks traded a first-round draft pick more than two weeks ago for Cam Reddish, but the former lottery selection mostly has remained outside coach Tom Thibodeau’s playing rotation since his arrival from Atlanta.

It’s 46 games now. We’re way past the small-sample-size blues. We’re well beyond the point where you can talk about the drag of the long season. This isn’t a slump. This isn’t a blip. This is who the Knicks are. This is what the Knicks are. And what they are is this: They are broken.
The Knicks are on a roll, their starting lineup is on a roll and point guard Kemba Walker is on the verge of returning for Monday’s MLK Day matinee against Charlotte. Decisions, decisions, decisions. Walker, who is listed as questionable, has missed the last eight games with knee soreness after Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau may
The prevailing theory is the Knicks’ defense isn’t the equal of last season’s grit-and-grind juggernaut. However, the “D’’ isn’t that big a concern to defensive mastermind Tom Thibodeau these past two weeks. The coach has often cited defensive statistics that make him feel comfortable about the club’s ability to deny penetration and easy buckets because
Maybe the Ryan Arcidiacono-Tom Thibodeau union will be a match made in basketball heaven. Villanova associate head coach George Halcovage, who coached Arcidiacono at Villanova from 2012-16, sure thinks so. “He’s fired up,’’ Halcovage told The Post. “He’s a student of the game. Thibs, like Coach [Jay] Wright, is demanding and likes guys to have
