The New York Knicks have faced a ton of backlash after firing Tom Thibodeau in the days following their elimination from the Eastern Conference Finals. During the series, Thibodeau struggled to get the Knicks over the hump in a very winnable matchup against the Indiana Pacers.

New York Knicks forward Josh Hart came to Tom Thibodeau’s defense in his latest social media post. The Villanova forward said that fans should appreciate what Thibodeau contributed to the team in the past five years.

The New York Knicks made an impressive run to the Eastern Conference Finals run during the 2024-25 NBA season. Unfortunately, they ran into a red-hot Indiana Pacers team, which were able to eliminate them in six games.
