new york knicks said ,Tom Thibodeau have another reason to say something went wrong today…..
It appears that Tom Thibodeau is not ready for Grimes time.
Tuesday night was a struggle for almost anyone wearing a New York Knicks uniform, as the dream of In-Season Tournament glory died to the tune of a 146-122 shellacking at the hands of the Milwaukee Bucks. It was particularly tough for Quentin Grimes, who was spared from the carnage for all the wrong reasons.
Grimes was one of the most pleasant surprises to emerge from the Knicks’ 2022-23 season, taking over the team’s primary shooting guard spot in the early stages of the campaign. New York went 40-26 when Grimes, a first-round pick from the 2021 draft, appeared in the starting five, endearing himself to Manhattanites with his strong defense and solid outside shooting abilities.
“It feels like if I don’t hit the shot, I’m coming out,” Grimes said, per Stefan Bondy of the New York Post. “So every shot I shoot probably weighs like 100 pounds if I don’t make it, and our defense, it ain’t cutting it, so I know I ain’t going back in.”
“I just know last year RJ (Barrett) missed a lot of games. Jalen (Brunson) missed some games. So I had the ball in my hands a little bit more,” Grimes continued. “I knew I wasn’t coming out. I knew I was going to be in there and get more shots, play the whole first quarter, the whole third quarter. I knew I had opportunities to get the ball and get my shots up. Now it’s just a matter if the ball come my way, really.”
Stockton revealed the story on Thursday during the Knicks broadcast.
