Fizdale did a lousy job bringing out the best of a young team.

OK.


Can you disagree?


With what; your opinion which you do not back up with any supporting facts?   Sure.

Not going to do your work for you.   Post why he should go and who should be hired.

What! Come on, man, your request for "supporting facts" is fatuous. There's not a thousand viewers on this forum; can I just presume none of us are hopelessly senile, and we remember the arguments, disappointments and perspectives toward the coach without wallowing through all that shit?

Even for the deranged devotees who loved the notion of tanking — an art which Fizdale apparently does have a handle on — you have to get a little queasy how an alternative approach across the river panned out.

Anyhow, I'm more struck by the broader quandary — the image of the organization. PR plays a role in recruitment. If the Knicks changed coaches, their reputation would take another hit. Is that a variable to consider? Or do you just find the best coach for the job. Period.

So if the forum here have resigned themselves to no superstar and a youth movement, then the question of a coach comes up again, no?

Fizdale did a lousy job bringing out the best of a young team. Can you disagree? And if not, what makes you think anything will change?

Durant's new injury does not bode well for the hopes that he's coming to New York.

Great game.  Credit Philly.


Kawhi stays

Kyrie leaves

KD leaves

Butler stays

Harris leaves

Kemba stays


- Nice job by much maligned Evan Turner by the way in the earlier contest.

Why do you think Butler stays?

I know Philly has a strong young team, but he clearly hasn't been the same force that he's been in the past. Have you heard he's happy there?

I'm getting hit with the captcha things to get in the last few days.
So I think he tried to block some spammers and `we're collateral damage.  You can send a message to Josh or just wait a few days and see if it your old username works again.

Yeah, I've been out of the country the last couple of months, using a VPN, etc.

I'll give it some time, but if I need to contact him, can you tell me the best way?

Hey, can anyone offer an idea why I (Elephant) was banned from this site?

I mean I would have hoped that banishment followed some inspired bit of despicable venom. But I was sort of just standing around with my hands in my pockets.

Perhaps the name change is a chance for a whole new life.
