It's like Phil doesn't get it. He needs to hop off the Try-angle and run an offense that a modern NBA team runs. Shaw isn't going to be more successful here all of a sudden.
Well...the winningest team in the league runs an offense based on the Triangle....Fish was running an offense based on the Triangle...I don't think a Trangle based offense is what hurts us. I think we need a point guard who will force the defense into unfavorable matchups so that the triangle has a better success rate

Too many times I see Robin Lopez, Aaron Afflalo, etc getting post touches. That wouldn't happen on a really good team.

Saw the writing on the wall since preseason...Dude was skating on thin ice and lost 9 out of 10 games...That is downright unacceptable with the players the Knicks have playing in the WOAT division in the history of organized professional NA sports...

Good riddance...

I dunno...I dont want to make this completely about race, but I cant shake a 'last one hired; first one fired' vibe I get from this.

Fish only really had a half a season. Last year they were obviously tanking. How is that enough time to evaluate his worth?

Dont really understand the logic of not allowing him to finish out the year. The backcourt is a complete joke, and the team is struggling more from a personnel standpoint than x' and o's. Phil needs to upgrade this team and not scapegoat.

That said, I do think Fisher's "its all about the process and making the playoffs isnt a concern" comment definitely ruffled some feathers, but that would be carelessly impulsive if he was fired over that.

Its tough as shyt to win in the garden... if you put the enitre GS roster in New York I don't even think they win a chip there.. its way too much pressure playing in that city.

@No_bammer_weed i agree with you...and Jose Caldaron is a disgrace to the game of basketball...

But Fisher is a piece of shyt and it finally caught up to him... stop feeling sorry for that bum, he didn't deserve the job to begin with..

Anf if you're on this problck shyt, well we should demand why better representation than a snake ass nikka like him,...Mark Jackson is proven AND available...
