If they can show up for the Dallas Mavericks games, then it's not to much to ask the players to show up for the Sacramento Kings at home. And that's leads directly to the coach.
was the first sign that Mills was throwing Fizdale under the bus. I'm torn because I like Miller and want him to succeed, but if he does it probably buys the front office another year.

I agree im very torn about this. I want miller to docus on the young guys on the team and help their development but at the same time im worried if there is progress that mills an dperry will stick around into next year and beyond.
he has pretty much been hands off since Phil Jackson. But Mills, he is the real culprit.
Knick Record in Mills's first six seasons with team: 183-309 (one playoff appearance)
Steve Mills leaves in 2009 to join Magic Johnson Enterprises
The four Knick seasons without Mills: 3 playoff appearances. In 2012-13 the Knicks finish 54-28 and beat the Celtics in Round One before losing to the NBA Champion Miami Heat.
Steve Mills returns in September 2013.
Knick Record in the next six full seasons with Mills aboard again: 163-329 (No Playoffs)
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.
What the hell have you ever seen from Fizdale to make you say he’s a good coach?
I have watch Fiz career even before the Knicks he is a good coach. The problem with the knicks is the roster. You cannot play morris and randle at the same time, but he is force too. mishandle randle is net negative on the floor. Your best point is frank who on most nights is afraid to shoot. A streak shooter in RJ, who cannot hit a foul shot, DJ Smith who has to be the worst passing guard in the league. A collection of front court players that are not agile or fast enough to keep up with opposing 3s or 4s. A center that cannot stay out of foul trouble. What offense save for the pick and roll with mitch and iso ball can you possibly run with this collection of misfits. whoever the next coach is he needs to sit randle, have the starting 5 as frank, Dotson, RJ, Morris, and Mitch. But even with that line up you will not get much at the line or consistent shooting from the outside.
Gets on Dolan. However, he also owns the Rangers and they seem to be going in the right direction. I do agree that Mills seems to be the problem. Yes it’s Dolan that needs to fire Mills and hire someone who knows wtf there doing.
He deserves to be let go but so Mills and Perry as well. In fact, of the 3, he’s probably the least at fault. Heard the other day on Bill Simmons podcast, that almost every free agent brought in, with the exception of Morris and someone else, have 2 year contracts not 1 year as originally reported. So we’re left with a team for this year and next that have significant numbers of veteran players who will be playing for the next contract as opposed to playing the kids. We’re still losing but the kids are sharing time with the veterans. Plus, when they traded Porzingis to Dallas, they thought that Dallas would be bad and the Knicks would get another lottery pick. Not going to happen. Fitzdale has not done a good job but whoever is in charge now and for a long time really sucks

Whose fault is it that he built a defense around protecting the paint rather than the 3 point line?
whose fault is it that has no offensive system?
whose fault is it that he runs a stupid zone that gives up 3s and layups?

he is a horrid coach
You can't defend the 3 with agile players who can chase and get over or under screens. None of our front court players can do that consistently. So that is a talent issue.
You can't run an effective offense with iso players like DJ, triere, randle, morris in the line up. How many turn overs are DJ, Randle, and RJ averaging per game. Hell they can't even hit foul shots. thats a talent issue.
If your front court players cannot stay with faster and more agile 3s and 4s, you might as well try a zone or switching. In the hopes that at least in the zone the other team will have work a little harder for a shot. that's a talent problem.
short of starting dotson at the 2 and keeping randle on the bench, not much will improve with any coach.

Being a coach is implementing a system, developing the players within the system, and making sure it is being followed through. Saying he cannot run an offense is bullshit.

He does run an offense and we have seen it in spurts but too often guys like smith , Randle, Morris opt out of the offense for iso plays. some players are very low basket IQ. That is not an issue of coaching some times it is about the players you have as well. it is a the very reason a good portion of the roster were cast offs and players other teams did not want.
Certain players don't run it and they still play a ton of minutes? Whose fault is that? Sounds like more excuses. What is his system that I have missed in spurts?

Liking hockey and knowing how it runs are two different things. Dolan has admitted to being more hands on with basketball because he feels he knows it better than hockey. He said he doesn't understand hockey as much hence why he takes a back seat.

because he hired a guy he trusted in sather and stepped back..
he has tried to do that with the knicks recently but he hires morons...
to ever happen to fizdale is the Knicks canning him.
He isn't the issue. He may be a shit coach, but it doesn't matter with this group. Biggest group of losers you could ever put together on a court.
This is 100% accurate. As Eric alluded to above, these same BBI posters celebrate a Knick coach firing every 2 years. Whose the next that will be fired in 2021?
because all Pop assistants are legit candidates, but you can’t ignore the PR aspect of that hire, too. The Knicks would be immune from criticism in the short term. I brought her name up a few years ago, but she was low on the San Antonio totem pole at that point. If she’s interested i’m sure she’ll get serious consideration. New York Liberty roots are a plus, too.

alao rumors are tim duncan is the heir apparent to popovich not her
Pop's team lost 8 straight games and came into the Garden and were beating the Knicks by 25... at halftime. The effort has been bullshit and if you can't lay that at the feet of the coach, who can you blame? I know everyone in the basketball media and heck the NBA hates the Knicks, but there shouldn't be any pity parties for David Fizdale.
Fuck winning games... can you get these motherfuckers to give a competitive effort? If you can't, fuck you and there's the door.
Ugh, this feels like Mills has worked his magic again and Â
stabbed yet another coach in the back. Thankfully, even Wooden couldn’t elevate this pathetic roster he’s assembled. Hopefully he’s jettisoned at season’s end.
And, oh no, how are the Knicks going to attract the marquee free agents now without one of the three stooges?
I've had with this team under Fizdale was the lack of want on the part of the players, some more than others.
To a man you have to play with a want to own those spots on the floor from baseline to baseline. Those spots should be yours not the opponents. That should be the mindset. You take those spots physically away from them either on defense or offense. You either don't bring that shit in here if you're on defense or I'm coming to take my spot on offense and if you're in my way then you will feel it. That's the thought process that has to change.
How many times just this season alone has a Knick player been at the basket, taken a little lollypop shot and it not even cleared the rim. That shot has to be taken with authority and if a defender wants to put his arm in the way then he runs the risk of injury. Go hard and send a message.
These are teachable moments...Pre team practices should start with some one on ones. Teach those that play soft to reverse that process.
half game late
If they can show up for the Dallas Mavericks games, then it's not to much to ask the players to show up for the Sacramento Kings at home. And that's leads directly to the coach.

and it is randle and gibson fault they cant guard a ppint guard or shooting guard out on the perimiter because of the constabt switching?
the nuggets were worst in the league defending the 3 a couple of years ago now they are 1st, it is scheme...
the nuggets players said they knew they could shoot any 3 they wanted because the knicks pack the paint..
that is cosching, running a zone against good 3 point shooting teams is moronic

Gets on Dolan. However, he also owns the Rangers and they seem to be going in the right direction. I do agree that Mills seems to be the problem. Yes it’s Dolan that needs to fire Mills and hire someone who knows wtf there doing.
Dolan doesn't care about hockey. He leaves it alone. He interferes in basketball and thinks he has a clue. Hires yes men. And gets involved day to day.
He grew up a big hockey fan so he likely likes hockey as much if not more than basketball.
Liking hockey and knowing how it runs are two different things. Dolan has admitted to being more hands on with basketball because he feels he knows it better than hockey. He said he doesn't understand hockey as much hence why he takes a back seat.

because he hired a guy he trusted in sather and stepped back..
he has tried to do that with the knicks recently but he hires morons...
dont get your hopes up
But it’s silly to make it out like he’s to blame for the failures of the Isaiah Thomas, Donnie Walsh and Phil Jackson eras.
He isn't the issue. He may be a shit coach, but it doesn't matter with this group. Biggest group of losers you could ever put together on a court.

This is 100% accurate. As Eric alluded to above, these same BBI posters celebrate a Knick coach firing every 2 years. Whose the next that will be fired in 2021?
First thing first
Trade Morris Smith. Ellington Payton Get whatever you can get
Randle to bench
Robinson
Portis
Knox
Barret
Frank
Trier first Off bench
tkme to use some of that spurs magic tree
alao rumors are tim duncan is the heir apparent to popovich not her
Details?

Stan Van Gundy ripped them too. And they’re not wrong...not that Fizdale was going to last, but they’re saying the Knicks problems start at the top
Pop's team lost 8 straight games and came into the Garden and were beating the Knicks by 25... at halftime. The effort has been bullshit and if you can't lay that at the feet of the coach, who can you blame? I know everyone in the basketball media and heck the NBA hates the Knicks, but there shouldn't be any pity parties for David Fizdale.
Fuck winning games... can you get these motherfuckers to give a competitive effort? If you can't, fuck you and there's the door.
And, oh no, how are the Knicks going to attract the marquee free agents now without one of the three stooges?
To a man you have to play with a want to own those spots on the floor from baseline to baseline. Those spots should be yours not the opponents. That should be the mindset. You take those spots physically away from them either on defense or offense. You either don't bring that shit in here if you're on defense or I'm coming to take my spot on offense and if you're in my way then you will feel it. That's the thought process that has to change.
How many times just this season alone has a Knick player been at the basket, taken a little lollypop shot and it not even cleared the rim. That shot has to be taken with authority and if a defender wants to put his arm in the way then he runs the risk of injury. Go hard and send a message.
These are teachable moments...Pre team practices should start with some one on ones. Teach those that play soft to reverse that process.
