Knicks-Cavs Official PG Thread

[Priggy Smalls]

Fisher just took accountability...

What did he SAY?

some ol' bull. said he has to put guys in a better position to win but then says we go on long scoring droughts because they don't trust in the offense.

so basically don't expect any changes.

[kane2021]

The team establishing a new culture will regret not acting on a fireable offense

[rajajackal]

Melo had good first quarter and choked as usual.
Affalo and Galloway cannot be on the court together.

our best lineup tonight was Gallo/Afflalo/Melo/KP/Lopez

[Clyde_Style]

Fisher scammed Phil.

He's going to get fired and collect $25M for 18 months of work.

He's a genius

[N Y K]

i hate so many of you

[MaseInYourFace]

Just one loss closer to the end of this fraud's tenure as Knicks' coach. The more losses we accumulate, the closer we are to his firing. Bring em on at this point.

I'm close to agreeing with this.

Look at it this way:

Fisher is pretty much a lock to coach us out any hope of the playoffs.

What is better?

Going to game 60 and Fisher has cost us 15 games by then easily, EASILY, and we're 22-38

OR

We can his sorry ass by game # 15,
Get a coach,
Work out the wrinkles for the next 15 games

and by game 30 we're on track

and can make the playoffs.

I'm telling everyone YOU HAVE TO FIRE FISHER SOON

&

YOU CAN SAVE THIS SEASON

Wait too long and we're surely fuqq'd

And if anybody says give him time, WE DON'T HAVE A SEASON TO SPARE ON THIS KNUCKLEHEAD'S EDUCATION! FUQ DAT!

Why would PJax care so much about making playoffs this season?

[PrecociousNeoph]

overall though i still like what i see. this team competes defensively and melo is passing the ball like I've never seen before. and he got right into lebron's face on defense. no moral victories etc etc but i like what i see with this team. and its only the 10th game of the season

[waya]

Whoa, do curses not get censored on the realgm app?

Test: ****

[iAdoreeKnicks]

This is the type of game where it would have been nice to see D-will lead the bench in scoring but he looks lost out there on offense. 1-6 and Bricking half of his free throws.

[BBALLER4FR]

This was definitely one of the better games fisher coached I thought. I honestly have no clue what some of you are seeing. It sounds like crazy blaming just because you don't have legit opinions, just following the thread and parroting.

Rotations weren't bad tonight I thought.
Time out at the half and play for Melo sucked.
Play for KP at the rim, excellent I thought.
Going to AA for to exploit Dellavadova, excellent.

Really, tell me what he did wrong other than just complaining. Perhaps he stuck with players too long, but nothing is sticking out to me.

So tell me, please.

Amundson on the floor his negative offensive game. Lance Thomas in game at the same time. 2nd unit now looks lost and you got KOQ calling his own number and DWill and barely touching the ball. When that 2nd unit was free flowing they looked unstoppable. Now it looks like they've been force fed Fish's bull$hit! People dribbling too much. Calderon still on my team! KP not being used enough despite being the biggest mismatch on the floor night in and night out. Why was Afflalo on the bench until the 2 minute mark in the 4th during a Cavs comeback again?

[BodyCount]

I'm very unimpressed with Fisher. Yet, the players are playing hard for him. I just don't get his substitution patterns.

Ok, game got tougher and we're up, I need defenders that are fast, that care, defenders that hustle: Admundson, Thomas, galloway, melo, Grant
ok -4, tough luck...
Oh **** we can't score a basket, I better put afflalo in there to try to save this
Oh **** we're down and Admundson is so so, I better go with Lopez!
Oh **** we're doomed, I better put back in porzingis, maybe he hits another miracle shot!
...f*uck....

[JXL]

Fisher LITERALLY is coaching like he's tanking for a lottery pick.

Which we don't have... typical...

[Adelheid]

If I'm not mistaken(?), the Knicks do not have a lottery pick for next draft, so why is Fish seemingly trying to tank?
Or perhaps he is just incompetent as a coach

[Drun53]

In Toronto, Lance was actually playing well and KP wasn't, so it made sense to ride the hot hand. But in the last two games, Thomas had previously done absolutely nothing, and still got crunch-time minutes. It's mind-boggling.

Plus they don't execute good offense in general in the 4th quarter. There were a couple of nice plays drawn up at the end, but as a whole, the 4th quarter was a disorganized disaster.

[Priggy Smalls]

This is the type of game where it would have been nice to see D-will lead the bench in scoring but he looks lost out there on offense. 1-6 and Bricking half of his free throws.

we have one lineup where dwill can be effective and fish refuses to run it.

the most bizarre thing is that this isn't even speculation. we all saw it with our own eyes.

YOU & I SAID SO

Sorry, I'm in a Told You So mood folks

[Sprewell4Three]

Derek Fisher is the worst coach in the league and franchise history.

His hiring is making me question Phil Jackson's entire being. How can a great coach hire such a disgraceful piece of garbage like this?

We should be 6-4/7-3. This is abysmal.

The man was playing Thomas and Amundson with 2 minutes left for fcks sake!

Agree 100%

The main problem I see with this team is that we often go on atleast two 2-4 min stretches without scoring a FG. The offense looks lost. I blame this on Fisher erratic *** rotations. No one has rhythm, players are not comfortable with each other, and plays are breaking down.

Another issue, it seems as if there's zero set plays for KP.

Fisher watch our leads go from 12 to 2 and does nothing. Keeps the same lineup until we are down 4 or 6. Same stuff every game.

This is the same thing that happened in the Charlotte game. Fisher waits too long to bring back Carmelo to keep the lead steady. By the time he does bring him back, the other team has already gained momentum.

[xNewYorkMadex]

There is no way Lance Thomas is our inbounder either.

Throws the ball low to KP in the Hornets game, and this time misses KP for a wide open alley oop. No one was even close to him. How is that pass so off for a guy who is 7'3.

[Clyde_Style]

DId I mention the main reason the bench unit is struggling? Lance Thomas can't run the floor well, he stumbles with the ball. With Cleanthony, he can glide to the rim, he can run the floor. That was our preseason bench lineup. Fisher went away from that.
