The Knicks head coach begged off in discussing the 37-45 failure until he \u201cdigs into it deep\u201d during the next two weeks. Fournier blamed it on failing to find an \u201cidentity.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s that we didn\u2019t find ourselves as a team,\u201d Fournier said Sunday night after the season finale. \u201cWe never really found a rhythm and something we could go to every night to win games and close out games. We\u2019ve been blowing leads a lot this year. I think that\u2019s what matters the most. You have to find yourself as a team, your identity, what you do well, what you don\u2019t do well and what you can go to down the stretch. It\u2019s unfortunate that we weren\u2019t able to find ways to win more games.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Evan-Fournier-Knicks.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Knicks\" class=\"wp-image-21869250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Evan-Fournier-Knicks.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Evan-Fournier-Knicks.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Evan-Fournier-Knicks.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Evan Fournier (13) wants to remain with the Knicks.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Jason Szenes<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>That sounds like Fournier is slightly putting the onus on Thibodeau, whose job is to figure out the best unit in the clutch. Thibodeau was often reluctant to play Fournier in the fourth quarter. Thibodeau has praised his team defense but was less impressed with him as a one-on-one defender.<\/p>\n<p>If Thibodeau and Knicks brass determine Fournier wasn\u2019t the perfect two-way fit and want to go younger, the final three years of his four-year, $78 million deal could be on the move despite his 241 3-pointers made, which topped John Starks\u2019 mark of 217. Fournier turns 30 on Oct. 29.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m hoping to stay,\u201d said Fournier, who shot 38.9 percent from 3 and averaged 14 points. \u201cBut I\u2019m hoping to honestly have the same team and just be able to win. I\u2019ve said we had the right pieces and we have everything to be successful and I believe that. We have to find ourselves. So, when you go through a whole season with guys and coaching staff, you get attached to them and you want to have success with them. You go through tough moments, so I\u2019m not hoping anything changes, to be honest.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Knicks-Evan-Fournier-3-pointer.jpg?w=1024\" alt=\"Knicks\" class=\"wp-image-21869322\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Knicks-Evan-Fournier-3-pointer.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Knicks-Evan-Fournier-3-pointer.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/04\/Knicks-Evan-Fournier-3-pointer.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"\/><figcaption>Evan Fournier (13) set the Knicks single-season franchise record with 241 3-pointers.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">NBAE via Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>When Fournier signed with the Knicks last August \u2014 during his run to the gold-medal game at the Tokyo Olympics \u2014 he talked about the big market and rabid fans being <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/download-scripts-themes-apps\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"9\" title=\"Download Scripts &amp; Themes &amp; Apps\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">app<\/a>ealing. And those areas didn\u2019t let him down. When playing in Orlando, Fournier was used to New York fans storming his home arena.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s an incredible experience,\u201d Fournier said of playing in New York. \u201cIt\u2019s even better than what I expected. The disappointment of the season, it\u2019s extremely frustrating. That I was living in New York, it was the one thing that kind of (made) me sane. Sometimes when you\u2019re playing in a smaller market, all there is to think about and do is just basketball.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSometimes you can become extremely frustrated and it becomes toxic at home, because I\u2019m frustrated, so it has an impact on my family, my wife. Being here was the one thing that kept me sane and happy to go to work every day. It\u2019s just a special city with such a different energy. With this team, you know the city is gonna go crazy for you. So, that\u2019s a huge motivation for next season.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Fournier reports to France\u2019s training camp on July 29 with EuroBasket beginning in September. By then, he will know if he\u2019s going to have a second season as the Knicks\u2019 starting shooting guard.\n                        <\/p><\/div>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
