Dolan
« Reply #8415 on: November 12, 2019, 07:32:17 PM »

Dolan is a wild card.  Willing to $pend so... no four year contract is safe (Fizdale).  He wants to pressure the coach so he sends his men Mills and Perry to come out and issue a shot at the coach.

But there's no one out there to replace him that would make any difference.  Especially without a training camp.  So Dolan floats this Ujiri fantasy to throw us  a\ bone and distract us from this ongoing dumpster fire.

Fiz to his credit will not change what he does.  That's his strong suit. Smiling and taking bullets for his players.

Just turned on the radio and heard Stephen A on the subject. Even for a dude practiced in the art of histrionics, he was so crazed, so incensed, I wondered about the likelihood of him having a coronary event on air.

I also wondered if Mills actually gets out of this unscathed.

And he wants Mark Jackson as the coach. ::)

DSJ

-16 in 5 minutes!

a 22-20 lead turned into a 24-36 deficit while DSJ and Dotson were in the game for Frank and RJ

Knox

Nice pass by Knox to Taj.

Knox has a more well rounded game this season. 

Credit Fiz for his improvement?

Evidently Knox worked out, got much sturdier.  Has always been solid with his decisions.

But sure - coach always gets credit for atmosphere conducive to improvement

Julius Randle
« Reply #8426 on: November 12, 2019, 10:28:52 PM »

Randle is NOT the player we were sold.   He is underperforming.  Whos fault is that?  His? The PG? The offense? 
I don't know but he is our supposed "Best player" but he is not living up to that. 

I would expect Randle to be head and shoulders above Morris but he isn't.

Randle is highly talented, but miscast as primary creator because he’s so good for his spot as a secondary creator. Could he become better at it over time? Sure with work and coaching. As a basic big, he’s no Wendell Carter, but few are. Only 2 turnovers tonight. Randle was having a quiet but decent outing until he saw three defenders in the paint, put his head down and spun into them mid fourth quarter.

This team has so many ways to lose its confidence, but that particular play is near the top of the list.

We only look good offensively when we press and run. We have no way of attempting to generate momentum in the opposing defense from anything I’ve seen us do in the half court. Guys stand around a fuck-ton and that seems to be OK. 

Thursday has the potential to be really bad.

The third 4-minute Smith stretch seems to have been a dagger

But think on your feet, Fiz.  Entering the 4th quarter on the road you had just tied the game at 85.  Barrett was a +15, having a good overall night and had played just 23 minutes

Yet by the time you get him (and Frank) in you are down 10+

Just unfathomable.
