Reactions and opinions
Despite their most successful season since 2000, the Knicks made a shocking decision last week when they announced they were firing head coach Tom Thibodeau. The announcement was met with different reactions. Some were caught off guard, while others believed it was a long time coming.
The Athletic's James L. Edwards III and Fred Katz reported that the Knicks added Tucker to the fold because the front office "believed the locker room needed more leadership, a presence to help with communication issues that had plagued the group both on and off the court all season."
The Indiana Pacers defeated the New York Knicks 125-108 to win the best-of-seven Eastern Conference Finals in six games and advance to the franchise’s first NBA Finals since 2000.
