For years, have not followed the NBA closely while monitoring the Knicks for signs of Life.
Therefore don't know Thibs other than very experienced and specializes in D.
What's the backstory?  ie:  What are his "style" and "demands" that make superstars unwilling to play for him?  
Go ahead and burst my bubble ;).
Results so far are exciting -enjoy watching this team, but want to understand reasons for [I]Thibs Black Cloud[/I] posts!
Lots of young talent, and improving so far under Thibs.  Willing to wait and see where the ceiling is for most of them.  The effort the Knicks show, and player comments, seems very positive (and supportive of Thibs) therefore hard to understand the "false hope" perspectives that seem too early to project.  These guys bought in and are playing hard for Thibs "because they have little choice"?
Rather than shop for talent, hoping the Knicks have more potential than given credit for, and when developed with a couple more good draft picks we can compete and make playoff runs for many years.
So yeah, go ahead and burst my bubble!  Just looking for details explaining the Black Cloud Backstory to prepare for potential Knicks Disappointment if that is sadly where this leads once again.
