No one is saying we’re some defensive juggernaut, but what we can say is Fiz has our guys playing hard and well right now.

Re: Fizdale Affect: Knicks With 5th Best Defense!!!
What is evident is the team is competing. The record of course doesn't reflect that and we know why....they lost two games by a combined 4 points.
But since it's easier to complain than it is to just enjoy, I'm gonna let y'all cook.

Easy to do playing the worst and 3rd worst basketball teams in the league. Let's see after they play on the road against real teams.

Clarence Gaines Calls Out Super Mario

I have to agree with Gaines here. Super Mario has been Horrible Hezonja so far this season. Lost in space.

Re: Clarence Gaines Calls Out Super Mario
I wonder if we can trade Mario at the deadline for a 2nd rounder. Highly doubt anyone will even give that for him at this point.

Re: Clarence Gaines Calls Out Super Mario
This whole position less basketball gimmick is gonna blow up in Fizdale's face. You can't have guys playing out of position and they aren't rebounding or playing defense. I told you guys all that stuff would only sound good in the off season. But you all drank the kool aid anyway.

Re: Clarence Gaines Calls Out Super Mario
Gaines is biased he drafted Dot. Too early to call Mario a bust. He had a strong second half of the year in orlando. Let's see what fiz can get out of him.

Gaines stated a truth. Hezonja has been terrible so far. It's early so it could change, but he's telling the truth.

It's not too early to say we look better.
I mean, low bar and all, but the defense looks a lot better.
The usual suspects going under screens and late contesting 3's, but even those guys have stepped it up some.

Are you referring to pjax or gains? If it’s pjax - I’ll knock him all day everyday for doing a piss poor job while he was at the helm. If it’s gains - I’m glad he recommended KP as a draft pick, but he’s not above reproach. If he’s gonna take shots at one of our players, I’ll take shots right back at him.
