Summary

The Knicks' firing of Thibs is the top story, with Johnnie Bryant emerging as the leading candidate to replace him. Patrick Ewing was mentioned by a caller, but his past coaching struggles were highlighted. Reactions to Thibs' firing varied, with BT & Sal having opposing takes, Kendrick Perkins defending Thibs, and Chris Russo expressing anger at the Knicks' decision. The conversation also touched on James Dolan's history of paying coaches no longer with the team, and Thibs' unstarted 3-year extension. In sports updates, the Yankees beat the Guardians with Jazz Chisholm hitting a homer and Devin Williams securing the save. The Mets lost to the Dodgers in extra innings due to a Brandon Nimmo misplay. The segment concluded with more Knicks coaching discussions, including Boomer's belief that John Calipari would be interested in the role despite his past NBA struggles.
