no dog in this fight, but if you reposted Knicks threads on BBI from any year and just replaced the names, nothing has changed.

I guarantee you we will see this same thread in three years, just with a different name.

Closer to home, the Giants are trending in that direction too.

Agreed - and since you're not a Knicks fan, does this whole situation seem vaguely familiar to you?

Huge missed opportunity, especially considering the BBI thread.
Train wreck of an organization.

Makes the Giants seem successful.
While Eric is correct  
robbieballs2003 : 12/6/2019 3:50 pm : link
I hope he is wrong about the future. Fiz has proven time and time again how poor he was as a coach. He is stunting the growth of our young players. We don't play team basketball. There is little accountability although Fiz would talk a good game. We don't play team defense.
Good  
TyreeHelmet : 12/6/2019 3:52 pm : link
Now fire Mills and Perry. If they give these clowns another offseason or let them make another coaching hire Im done with this team.
While I think this was absolutely the right move,  
Beezer : 12/6/2019 3:53 pm : link
and that Fizdale had spun things so far down the drain that even the players looked perplexed on the bench at times, I don't feel a lick better about this organization.

No, if I see a post that the REST of the brain trust has ALSO been fired, then we might have something.

Even if the place needs to run by people not ready for it, it can't be worse. Ride it out, make the logical trades, play the kids, bring a few more kids up, and ride this shit out.

Make the best hires possible after the season and see what we have.
I saw nothing of merit in Fizdale's coaching.  
yatqb : 12/6/2019 3:57 pm : link
But the main issue with this team is ownership and the loyalty he shows to Mills. Definitely the worst run franchise in sports.

It reminds me of the Yawkey Red Sox...consistently awful.
Well that means...  
Stan in LA : 12/6/2019 3:57 pm : link
CHAMPIONSHIP!
Fiz...  
nyblue56 : 12/6/2019 3:58 pm : link
is a good coach that was handed a critically flawed roster. half the team cannot shoot. Randle is a waste of money. players can't hit foul shots. half the teams basket ball iq is in the toilet. He is a fall guy for the master minds who put this roster together.
Friday news dump!

Knocms are sixth in 3 point shooting and 27th in attempts..

their defensive gameplans are moronic, they pack the paint and give up 3s BY DESIGN!!!

he is a horrible coach
Was Dolan listening to the Michael Kay Show or something?  
bceagle05 : 12/6/2019 4:06 pm : link
Firing him last night or before today's practice would've worked, too.
Was not a good fit from the start  
ghost718 : 12/6/2019 4:06 pm : link
But the Knicks always seem to get everyone on Headly Lamarr's wishlist and a few basketball players.
Fizdale wasnt the problem but he was a problem  
ajr2456 : 12/6/2019 4:07 pm : link
This roster wasn't perfect but it's not 4-18 bad. The Process Sixers had less talent and looked better.

What the hell have you ever seen from Fizdale to make you say he’s a good coach?
Please please please  
LawrenceTaylor56 : 12/6/2019 4:07 pm : link
hire Dave Jaegar.
Alrght man this is good  
Giantfan21 : 12/6/2019 4:08 pm : link
but ultimately meaningless if mills and perry arent fired too . Especially mills he needs to get the fuck outta here ASAP
Keith Smart gone, too.  
bceagle05 : 12/6/2019 4:08 pm : link
Hopefully Mike Miller gets the nod and proves worthy of keeping (without screwing up the tank).
I can't believe I keep cable for MSG

The Knicks were trending in the right direction with Donnie Walsh as GM -then they replaced him after the owner got stupid. Hopefully fans will not see that happen here.

Walsh was awful
Fitz was God-awful.

But the real problem-Jimmy Boy-remains.
Right move

But yeah it feels like rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
If we can't get Dolan out..  
Chris684 : 12/6/2019 4:17 pm : link
How about Mills at least?
Maybe Steve Cohen  
johnnyb : 12/6/2019 4:21 pm : link
wants to buy a basketball team as well?

Just cut off the tail, let's work our way up =
Forget about the roster, the owner, the playoffs, any of that stuff.  
shockeyisthebest8056 : 12/6/2019 4:35 pm : link
Was Fizdale getting a consistent effort out of these players on a regular basis? If the answer is no, then what's the point of keeping him. The same team that showed up whenever Kristaps Porzingis was on the other team, or Bobby Portis in the Bulls game, or the first Brooklyn game should be expected to show up more often than it has, especially in the Garden.
How does Steve Mills have a job?  
Anakim : 12/6/2019 4:35 pm : link
Whoopdee doo. He went to Princeton. He's gotta be one of the losingest executives in sports history.
Until Mills is shown the door,nothing will change!  
TheMick7 : 12/6/2019 4:37 pm : link
.
I don’t think Fizdale is anything more than an average coach.  
Peter from NH (formerly CT) : 12/6/2019 4:40 pm : link
That said, the guys above him are a lot worse than average. He is taking the fall for a bunch of perpetual losers. Dolan, Mills and Perry. The three stooges.

this...until something changes at the top, nothing else will change.
Michael Kay Show  
BigBlueShock : 12/6/2019 4:52 pm : link
Kay gave the viewing numbers for last nights game in NYC. Of approximately 17 million potential viewers, the Knicks attracted.....48,000 viewers last night. In comparison, the Islanders playing on MSGs 3rd channel got 62,000 viewers and the Rangers got 92,000 on MSG 2.

48,000 viewers? In NYC? The Knicks? That’s incredible and HAS to get Dolan’s attention, right? Right? They got beat by the Islanders playing on MSGs 3rd channel FFS. Yikes. Rock bottom.
Fizdale is a bad coach  
TyreeHelmet : 12/6/2019 5:01 pm : link
But this won’t change anything. Worst roster in the NBA and it’s not close. How the hell does Mills and Perry survive this?
Saw this on reddit...  
bceagle05 : 12/6/2019 5:07 pm : link
Fizdale did a bad job  
Shirk130 : 12/6/2019 5:11 pm : link
but not as bad as Mills and Perry. How can they possibly keep their jobs after this shit show. No one with any basketball knowledge thought what they did in free agency made any sense.
it's been more fun watching St John's this year -  
Del Shofner : 12/6/2019 5:11 pm : link
I can tell you who gets effort out of his players and uses them to their strengths: Mike Anderson. I really like what he's doing as a coach.
BigBlueShock  
arniefez : 12/6/2019 5:11 pm : link
the only thing that will matter is when the building empties out. Until then Dolan will continue his Scrooge McDuck daily money swim.

Probably the best hope Knicks fans have is that Dolan goes broke building those asinine orbs. Everything he touches turns to s**t hopefully he spends billions on them.
Until Mills is removed from the equation nothing will change  
Torrag : 12/6/2019 5:14 pm : link
Dolan is the cancer but Mills is the tumor.
there is more talent on this team than 4-18

^This. The Knicks are a sad version of "Groundhog Day." So are the Giants.
