The Knicks fired Tom Thibodeau on Tuesday, just three days after losing in Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. Now they’ll embark on a coaching search. Here are some questions — and answers from The Post’s Stefan Bondy:

Q: I’m still not sure I understand — the Knicks just knocked out the champion Celtics and went to Game 6 of the Eastern Conference finals. Why are they replacing the man who got them there?

A: The Knicks say Thibodeau wasn’t the coach to get them to the promised land — the NBA title — but of course it’s a little bit more complicated than that. Maybe the ending in the conference finals was a disappointment, but my understanding is that Thibodeau’s nonnegotiable personality was also grating on some players and members of the organization. Relationships doomed the coach in his previous stops in Minnesota and Chicago. It was a factor here.

Q: What is Jalen Brunson’s reaction to this, considering his public affection for Thibodeau and his unqualified endorsement of him on Saturday night?
