Re: Knicks-Cavs Official PG Thread
He may be the worst coach in the league at present. The guy is responsible for 3 losses by himself. That's terrible. Phil needs to get himself a new Black Ops 3 body so he can coach this team.

That pass was the closest Lance was to making a shot tonight.

Re: Knicks-Cavs Official PG Thread
I have no idea what Fisher is doing with these rotations. Guys established their roles in the preseason, and Fisher abandoned that system early on - and what we're seeing is largely confusion.
Can't blame Anthony tonight. He was the only reason they were even in the game in the first half. Porzingas had 0 fouls for most of the game and still sat nearly 12 minutes in the 2nd half. You have play your best players the most minutes, and find ways to maximize their strengths.
This team is not well coached - and Jackson will eventually have to come to grips with that.

Amundson/Calderon/Thomas in crunch time??
Why was Afflalo sitting most of the 4th? Lopez?
KP barely being used.
I mean it's absolutely baffling stuff. Phil blew it on this coaching hire. This team could be 6-4 right now easy. I cannot believe this game was lost, this is the first time I am angry after a loss just because of the collapse aspect

Re: Knicks-Cavs Official PG Thread
Honestly these fourth quarter close game losses are going to continue to pile up because we have no PG. You need a ball handler to keep his cool and back the defense off. The Cavs played fair, tight defense for the entire last 6 minutes (refs let both teams play), and our guards are simply not skilled enough ball handlers to release that pressure.

Who is that? I don't think we have them yet...
I was referring to KOQ playing limited minutes and bringing back Porzingis and Melo in the middle of the 4th.

Re: Knicks-Cavs Official PG Thread
How do you not look to get KP any shots after he absolutely abused Love on that spin move?

He seems to lack the stamina. When he gets tired he loses game awareness and makes bad plays.
But why are you asking me? I don't know what his conditioning regimen is. He seems unable to play well in the fourth quarter so far and he looks slower and tired to me.
You said he was gassed.. do you think we're getting 20 million dollar fitness?
Well, I hope it is not 20 million dollar fatness

Even though he missed that shot to tie the game.. I wouldn't mind him taking the last shot of a close game.

I had no idea why we didn't play RoLo/KP/Melo/Afflalo/Galloway in crunchtime. That was the lineup that dominated the Cavs in the 2nd quarter. That absolutely had to close out the game. Our best players and best lineup tonight.

Calderon sucks, but he's playing better.
