Summary

The Knicks fired Thibs and Gio is trying to find a positive in it, but after thinking about it all day, he hates it. Boomer said you never know what’s going on behind the scenes. Boomer thinks it’s a ‘shiv spot’. He feels disappointed as a Knicks fan as he felt like they finally had a legit head coach. He also assumes they are going to take a step back next season. Boomer wants someone at the organization to get in front of the media and explain why they did this. Gio is very interested in this ‘snakes in the grass’ situation with the Knicks firing Thibs. They must have somebody in mind to coach the team if they did this.

0:00.0	I've been trying to find a way to like this, to find a way, to say it was the right thing
0:06.9	to do, to be excited about the future of the Knicks, and I can't do it.
0:11.0	I can't do it.
0:12.2	This was a mistake.
0:13.6	It was a mistake.
0:15.0	The roster construction was the issue with this team.
0:18.7	It wasn't Tom Tibido.

0:27.0	They took a step too far with Carl Anthony Towns, in my opinion,

0:35.5	I hate it.
0:36.2	I've been trying to like it.
0:55.4	I've been trying to be positive about it. But hours later, I still hate it. Good morning, Boomer. How are you? Yeah, good morning, Jay. Two things I often say about professional sports teams. One is stability. The other one is ruthlessness when it comes to the GM or in this case comes to the president. I guess I don't know if William Wesley's involved in any of this.
0:59.4	I mean, it seems like Leon Rose is the head of the team.
1:00.3	He's the guys running.
1:01.7	He's the guys making all the decisions.
1:05.2	Yet he doesn't sit in front of the media and tell us what's going on.
1:14.1	And I think I really do think that the next really made two major mistakes here. One is I'm sick and tired of the PR, whatever you want to call it, PR statements. I want to hear from somebody. I want to hear
1:22.4	from a human being. I want to hear from somebody who's making this decision. So if it is Jim
1:27.1	Dolan, then put Jim Dolan out there as hard it is to listen to him.
