Derrick Rose: Tom Thibodeau is intense, but has improved as a coach

Julius Randle says there’s nothing like being on an eight-game winning streak in New York.

"I’m not going to lie. It’s a lot of fun," Randle said on an ESPN podcast Thursday.

Yet, there is one person in New York who doesn’t seem to be enjoying the Knicks’ longest winning streak in seven years. Knicks coach Tom Thibodeau, the man most responsible for this team being where it is, rarely looks as if he is enjoying anything.

Using much of the same roster that compiled a 21-45 record under David Fizdale and Mike Miller last season, Thibodeau has the Knicks (33-27) alone in fourth place in the Eastern Conference entering play Friday.
