Though he may no longer have any affiliation with the New York Knicks, Tom Thibodeau still has the ability to rile up this fanbase to exponential levels.
During the early hours of Tuesday morning, the former head coach reshared a post on X that denigrated the Knicks' lackluster play on the less glamorous side of the ball this season while pointing out the fact that they're slumping in this area despite rostering elite individual defenders like OG Anunoby, Mikal Bridges, and Mitchell Robinson.

Though the repost was undone within a few hours, the effects that it had on the franchise's faithful followers certainly were not, with some referring to the act as "spicy" while others labeled Thibs as a troll.
