NFT: Knicks: fire fizdale at halftime

Quote:

Kevin Draper @kevinmdraper Scott Perry hasn’t been a part of a front office with a winning record in 13 seasons, which seems almost impossible to manage.

We actually traded a second round pick to get this guy!

I never understand the praise for this guy. It’s amazing how badly he screwed up this offseason.

At this point you just have to root for it to continue to get worse so Dolan is forced to do a full housecleaning.

shyster, lol

I don't watch them much, but while working out and watching a bit of the Bucks game and NYK down by ~40 in the 1st half, and now this.

Knox doesn't give a shit: he watches his corner jumper miss, stares at his right hand follow through, while nine other players scamper down the court after his shot clanks off the rim. Hilarious and sad

I was at last night's game:

- Fizdale is a terrible coach - the knicks halfcourt sets are jokes, a ton of dribbling and no movement. Denver had such continuity.

- Perry - Construction of roster is horrendous, no shooting, no penetration. The only positive thing we can say is that he has not made any franchise killer moves like Isiah Thomas and other execs made. (e.g. Glenn Grunwald trading a lottery pick for Andrea Baragani. )

- Mills - I'm not sure what else this guy needs to do to prove he is not a capable NBA executive. He pretty much told Dolan, he was getting Durant/Kyrie and he gave him Julius Randle.

I'll make a side note, I argued with NYGIANTS earlier in the season and he was quite testy, but Julius Randle is a terrible player. I actually gave him too much credit as a good player on a bad team. I hate everything about his game from his body language to his shot selection to his lack of effort on defense.

Because he beat up on Porzingis once as a Laker

And that was it,no further scouting required

i would like to see him with a true point guard, but the way he is being used right now he is awful

Can't rule it out - they drafted Knox because he played well during a three-on-three scrimmage in a private workout. Had they watched game tape, they may have noticed the best player on that Kentucky squad was Gilgeous-Alexander.

“I’m still coaching this team,” he said. “I’m still pushing them, still preparing them. We had a hell of a practice before this one.”-Fitz after the game.

LOL.

..

We need Mills, Perry and Fizdale out.

Hire Mark Jackson as HC today.

is still full to watch this crap !!!! I used to go alot back in the 90's and it was awesome now i would not be caught dead there watching this awful organization

Last night was not really full and the crowd was as dead as I have ever seen it, even in the worst of times. It is truly sad what has happened here. The worst part - Lamello Ball is the reward at the end of the season.

if he's the best player available to us. I think Lavar's 15 minutes are up - does anyone care about him anymore? If LaMelo's putting up triple-doubles at the Garden next year and dad wants to brag a little, more power to him.

Just write a blank check to Jerry West, Ujiri or Presti. Let them do a full tear down.

And please please just retire the words “cap flexibility” and “young core”. This is truly rock bottom for the Knicks and that’s saying something.

I think we would feel differently if all the young guys were playing with a couple of vets and knocks actually went with a traditional rebuild

the thread title meant the Knicks fired Fizdale at halftime and I got hyped lol.

what the thread title meant. Seems eminently plausible that this would actually happen.

“I wouldn’t. It’s not my role,” Silver said Thursday on WFAN. “Of course, I work for 30 teams. And the 29 other teams want to beat that team. That’s not to say me getting involved (would be good) and that I’m in any better position to know what to do. We set the rules. And then we try to have a level playing field for the teams to compete.”

#SellTheTeam - ( New Window )

fizdale was going to be fired after the game or by the latest today. It's hard to believe they are going to let this continue but for some reason he is still the coach .

7th time in NBA HISTORY that a team lost back to back games by 35+ points and yet this moron is still the coach.

stop switching, play 1 on 1 and fight over screens, that in turn will run players off the 3 point line..How many times were denvers bigs stuck on a guard?

Stop packing the paint and think you can get to 3 point line..

No more fucking zone, it never works..

offensively run pick and roll, get barrett and randle going down hill..

I think Lamelo is a really talented prospect. He could be the best guy available.

would be a terrible mistake.

Anyone with a brain knows Fizdale and then eventually Mills and Perry are going to get fired. So just do it. Name an interim to both positions and hire a new head of basketball ops in the offseason that gets to pick his own coach. I don't see much point to stringing this along when everyone knows what the eventual outcome is going to be.
