Bill Simmons:我认为尼克斯解雇锡伯杜教练的原因有很多。首先,这表明球队可能并没有像外界认为的那样接近赢得总冠军。就像2003年的活塞队一样,即使教练做得不错,球队也可能需要新的方向才能更上一层楼。我觉得锡伯杜教练可能已经把这支球队带到了他所能达到的最高水平。此外,锡伯杜教练在轮换阵容和球员使用方面存在问题,他过度依赖主力球员,未能充分开发板凳深度。这导致球队在季后赛中遇到困难,尤其是在面对快节奏的对手时。还有,现在联盟球员的权力越来越大,如果球员对教练不满意,他们有能力推动变革。尼克斯队在过去几个月里似乎并不快乐,球队内部可能存在一些裂痕。米卡尔·布里奇斯对上场时间的不满以及球队整体的化学反应都可能影响了管理层的决定。最后,尼克斯队内部存在多个权力中心,包括老板多兰、总经理以及球员的家人和朋友,这些复杂的关系也可能对锡伯杜教练造成了压力。总的来说,解雇锡伯杜教练是一个复杂的决定,涉及球队的战术、球员关系以及管理层的考量。
