Sixteen months into his official hiring, the bloom is off the Tom Thibodeau rose. If you are what your record says you are, as Bill Parcells famously said, Thibodeau’s and Leon Rose’s Knicks are losers. The Knicks lost their third straight,113-99 to Nikola Jokic and the Nuggets on Saturday afternoon, amid plenty of Garden boos, falling behind by 28 points early in the fourth quarter in one of the worst performances of the Thibodeau era. The loss pushed them under the.500 mark at 11-12. It’s the first time they have been beneath.500 since early in the 2020-21 season. “Disappointed,’’ Thibodeau said. “The way we’re playing at home, that’s the disappointing part. When you have an MVP-type player, we can’t start the game the way we did. We have to get our edge back defensively. We got into it together.
