Usage abnormalities with star players and an overall failure to get the most out of a talented roster were leading reasons why the New York Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau this week after he guided the franchise to its first conference finals appearance in 25 seasons,

The group of Hart, Bridges, Jalen Brunson, OG Anunoby and Karl-Anthony Towns had a net rating of minus-6.2 in the postseason, per NBA.com. Thibodeau finally made a change ahead of Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals, replacing Hart with Mitchell Robinson, but by that point, the Knicks were already in an 0-2 hole.
