Marc Berman: Taj Gibson, former mate of Jimmy Butler, said of JB-Spoelstra-Haslem bench dustup: “That’s normal when it comes to championship style basketball. You’re going to have little outbreaks. Not everybody’s going to have a cool head all season. That’s just a test of camaraderie.”

Knicks put up 40 in the first quarter — Obi with 9-4-2; Taj Gibson finishes it with a corner 3. Lots of extra passes for the open shot. Fournier 1-for-4 from 3 – still 2 behind Starks for franchise record. – 7:35 PM

In the 72nd game (another loss) in a lost season, 36-year-old Taj Gibson played more mins than the #Knicks’ three rookies.
Taj took as many shots as McBride, Grimes and Sims combined.
Stunningly, Gibson played every second of the final 15 minutes.

Tom Thibodeau last night on closing with Taj Gibson at the 4: “It was more of a defensive rotation and we wanted to do more switching there, so it was to protect the basket.”

Obi got the start and after 10 pts, 7 rebs and 3 asts (5 PFs as well) through 3Q, he didn’t play in the 4Q. Why? Thibs will always go to his default: defense. Went with the trusted Taj Gibson to close it out. Again the balance of giving young players experience vs getting a win. – 8:11 AM

When asked if having Taj Gibson in for Obi Toppin throughout the 4th was for defensive purposes, Tom Thibodeau concurred and cited defensive rotations in his answer. He also said NYK wanted to do more switching against ATL in 4th and cited rim/paint protection. – 10:26 PM

Knicks lose again, but at least their young draft picks got plenty of valuable reps in an intense game.
Jus kidding lol
Alec Burks logged 35+ minutes again (third most mins played in this game)
and
Taj Gibson played more mins (20) than Sims (13), Grimes (11) and McBride (8). – 9:52 PM

More on this storyline
“We’re grown men, man,” Tucker said. “This is part of the game. I haven’t been on any team that emotions didn’t run over sometimes. Get back together, everybody love each other, blah, blah, blah. “I think it’s going to work itself out. We don’t have any guys where it’s just like hard to deal with, you got a lot of other b.s. that goes on. I think everybody’s just trying to figure it out all at the same time, just like other teams are trying to figure out. It’s a part of it, man, the ups and downs, the valleys and peaks of an NBA season.” -via South Florida Sun-Sentinel / March 24, 2022
