Tom Thibodeau’s Knicks are officially in the upside down
NY Post
PHOENIX — You think of Tom Thibodeau, you think of defense.
It’s like Thanksgiving and turkey. One without the other is a failure in the system.
Yet here Thibs’ Knicks reside — 15 games into the 2024-25 campaign — with an elite offense, a subpar defense, a four-game winning streak on the back of motion/ball movement and a 9-6 record before Saturday’s matchup in Utah.
“Offensively, we’re getting into a really good rhythm,” Josh Hart said. “And now defensively, we have to make sure that we continue to improve. And if we make that jump, we’ll be a force.”
Kirk Cousins’ free agency has entered the “And behind Door 1…” phase.
Adam Edstrom was drafted as a center out of Sweden, even if the hulking 6-foot-7 forward exclusively has manned the wing since joining the Rangers’ organization.
Mike Brown is ticked off by the starts but isn’t considering a lineup change.
Aaron Judge led the Yankees to a World Series appearance in 2024. Now, as captain of Team USA, he’s experiencing an atmosphere he says feels even grander.
Travis Kelce’s contract details have been revealed.
The Knicks won, but their coach was fuming.
ST. PAUL, Minn. — Rangers head coach Mike Sullivan developed a reputation for managing egos and personalities, as well as fostering sincere relationships with his players, over his decade with the Penguins.
President Donald Trump seemed to confirm he once broke up an elevator fight involving former NBA great Kobe Bryant.
SAINT PAUL, Minn. — With the Rangers hovering over the bottom of the NHL standings, it’s easy to root for whatever outcome would most likely lead to general manager Chris Drury announcing Gavin McKenna’s name on the draft stage at KeyBank Center in Buffalo this June.
WINNIPEG, Manitoba — When the Rangers started the 2025-26 season, Noah Laba and Matthew Robertson were the only first-year players on the Opening Night roster.
SALT LAKE CITY — It’s easy to forget about the quiet, which in Knicks World means Leon Rose. We’re approaching five years — amazingly — since the team president answered questions from the independent media, and I’ve always maintained that’s poor practice because it avoids responsibility. If there’s no public explanation behind a move or a goal, there’s no accountability if it doesn’t work out.
