Yeah. Not a game coach.  Just a caretaker coach.

To have Payton to guard Kyrie in the final minute.

Nice guy.  Maybe good at building up young guys.  I love Kevin Knox newfound interest in passing when he spent all last year chucking.  So give the coaching staff credit.  But this is not the coach to get us to the playoffs.  That's the next guy's job after Fiz develops the pups some more.

Really, so pathetic.

It's the same shit we saw last year again and again.

It's not about losing, not about missing shots — though that happens — but the fact that we're always out coached in the final minutes.

But yeah, we have a point guard problem. I had no high hopes for Smith Jr., based on his play for us last year, but who the fuck knows. I'm just looking for someone who can LEAD out there. Randal is great, but without a strong PG, you can see the dark potential for....well, those last 30 seconds.

Speaking of that, I know it's pre-season, but Kid seemed on the mark writing about the Knicks disfunction at the end of games. THAT I put on coaches, not players. Fizdale is making millions, so I don't think it's much to ask for well-designed plays and smart time management. But game after game last that, I didn't see that.

Wrote this last week after the preseason game with New Orleans. With the game on the line....and with no apparent play drawn up by the coach....Randall just sort of improvised.

It wasn't pretty then. And it wasn't pretty tonight.

Yeah. Fiz is like a robot from the 1960s. Slow and limited to only a few lines of code.

His only endgame code is: 
Code: [Select]
Give ball to main player
Very unimaginative.

Robinson picked up his fifth foul and never even got back in the game to thwart Kyrie's drives.

Again his dumb 5 fouls code
Code: [Select]
No player may use all six fouls

Dennis needs to stay on the shelf for a while. Morris & Randle need bounce back games.

Though the score was closer, that was much harder to watch than game 1.

A while ago I said 20.

May I change my prediction to 19?

Sorry Chip 🤯

It's a development year for the team and the yute.
Fizz and the Knix would look better with a legit PG and more cohesion (lots of new Knicks).

Was a game of runs.
Knix shot 68% on 3's!
The bench was 10-12 on 3's!!
Looks like Ellington was used well to aid the comeback.
RJB had a blah 1st half, but looks like he came on strong later.

I missed the 2nd half.

Lotta fouls, lotta ugly possessions.
Knix nearly pulled out a W in a game where Randle and Morris were off.

If you missed the second half you shouldn't even think of commenting on your "development year" for coach call or what would make the team look better.

Fiz's endgame continues to be unworthy of the Brooklyn PAL.

We can’t go into slow down mode the minute we take a late lead. It hasn’t been how we’ve gotten those leads and we’re not nearly cohesive enough to score in slow mo against defenses playing with a sense of desperation.

Mitch Portis
Randle Gibson
Morris Knox
RJ Ellington
Payton Trier

Have all earned an element of trust. That’s enough bodies to build a rotation if they stay healthy.

Frank, DSJ, Dotson, and Iggy need to get ready to step in, just in case, but the staff can focus on getting the most out of the guys who have at least produced something so far.

In the two losses so far we’ve played much dumber than our opponents who have highly regarded coaches, continuity, and an all star or two yet we grabbed late leads and contested till the final minutes. All the coaching, continuity and talent can be said about the Celtics as much as the Spurs or the Nets.

Unfortunately I don’t think there’s an overnight cure for dumb play.
