New York Knicks: Tom Thibodeau isn't perfect, but it could work
Tom thibodeau

The New York Knicks played well for two-plus quarters before looking like a team destined for a rebuild.

The Philadelphia 76ers waited until quarter number 4 on Wednesday to before performing like Eastern Conference contenders.

Philadelphia 76ers

In their 1st game of the season, the 76ers led let the Wizards went on a 22-8 run to take a 59-58 lead at halftime. They were down by as many as 12 before outscored the Washington 40-24 over the final 12 minutes.

“You know what I loved about the game is we didn’t play well,” 76ers head coach Doc Rivers said after winning his debut with Philadelphia.

“We had stretches that we played well. You can see in that little third quarter — body language is struggling, (they) caught themselves and they just find a way to win. The execution down the stretch of the fourth quarter for a team that hasn’t been together was unbelievable on both ends. So we love that part.”

New York Knicks

The decent start wasn’t enough to satisfy first-year head coach Tom Thibodeau. The New York Knicks coach has a strong reputation for being a defensively minded taskmaster. He directed the Chicago Bulls and Minnesota Timberwolves to six playoff berths in his previous seven full seasons as a head coach.

“Our schedule tells us we have to be ready to be better everyday,” Thibodeau said. “We played about 24 minutes of good basketball. To win on the road, you have to do a lot better than that.”
