In some ways, Tom Thibodeau has never had more power. In other ways, there’s more pressure on him than he’s had before.
Coach Tom Thibodeau’s fingerprints are all over them.
Love or hate him — and based on the vocal minority on social media, Knicks fans seem split on the coach despite his mostly successful three-year tenure — it is clear that the roster has been constructed to Thibodeau’s specifications., selfless two-way players very much in the Thibodeau mold, were brought in. Meanwhile, Cam Reddish and Obi Toppin, incomplete players for whom Thibodeau didn’t find much use, were traded away.
As limited as Toppin may have been on the defensive end and as an offensive creator, he was a focal part of the Knicks’ strong second unit, an energizer of sorts who could turn momentum with his transition prowess.But Toppin could never carve out a significant role in his three years as a Knick, in part due to Thibodeau’s refusal to play him with Randle because neither possessed the rim-protecting skill-set his defense relies on.
But last season raised expectations, to the point that the Knicks now are expected to return to the postseason in consecutive years for the first time since 2011-13.
