Knicks Threw Celebration Just Hours Before Tom Thibodeau’s Firing originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Even though the New York Knicks were eliminated in the Eastern Conference finals by the Indiana Pacers last Saturday, the team still had a lot to be proud of.

Should Boston Celtics head coach Joe Mazzulla be worried about the firing of New York Knicks head coach Tom Thibodeau? The Knicks front office recently came to the decision that it was time to move on from Thibs despite the former Boston assistant coach having gotten New York farther than they have been in the playoffs for the last quarter-century.

Thibs, the biggest reason the Knicks matter, is gone. Two rivals are dealing with devastating injuries. Now, if the Sixers can keep their superstars healthy, they have a chance.
