When the NBA’s second-half schedule was announced on Wednesday, did coach Tom Thibodeau start plotting how many wins the Knicks are going to need to make the playoffs and just where those wins might come from – because that’s probably what a lot of fans did.
The short answer: No.
Thibodeau doesn’t just talk in coachspeak. He lives it, breathes it, believes it. So maybe he stole a glance at the schedule.
