He Did A Fantastic Job Of rotating guys in and out tonight. Down the stretch he simplified things and got the ball in Melo hands.
I feel the Knicks are going to have to pay everyone to win. Nobody except Melo needs 30 plus minutes. Keep guys fresh and involved. This Is How We Will get better.
Interesting that he put the ball in Shump's hands to bring the ball up after Larkin had a hiccup late in the game. He did a great job of using Aldrich and Acy tonight. When Acy can make his jumper he becomes a great old school Knick type in there. But he's gotta hit that J with some regularity.
And you have to give him credit for using Wear. Seemed like Wear's length gave Lebron some problems. Great job by the kid- jumping into the fire against the NBA's best player.
Great job with time outs. A lot of coaches wait too long. Fisher's time outs seemed to come at the right time every time
we Larkin blew 2 games in preseason with crucial crunch time turnovers and almost did again tonight but he will learn. So impressive tonight

Travis Wear = the new Bill Bradley

He definitely bothered Lebron on a couple drives and chased pretty good on a couple plays contesting a fall away jumper. Wear also missed a few open jumpers where Lebron got lost trying to get to him.
I love it though. You gotta believe in everyone. Keeps everyone honest. No favoritism. You play hard you will play. There is a reason some guys didn't play tonight.
Guys were so much more engaged. Love it
We talked about Fish using Shump in the Jose thread so it was good to see Fish use Shump. All of the moves Fish made today build confidence. Guys feel he believes in them and they played hard for him.

Wait until Wear goes to the NBDL and
Guards the talent there, he hasn't seen anything yet
I'd prefer he start
The more I think about it the more i am amazed at what Fisher was able to accomplish without Calderon
Remember how asleep at the wheel Woody was? Fish is the opposite. He's thinking out there. He also learned from game one. Fish isn't bashing his head into rocks over and over.

We need Calderon but he has and always was oversold
We got 30ast tonight 7 of them by J.R. Smith and 6 by Melo
Just think if Smith played with brains
Calderon is a big upgrade to Prigioni. prigs had to play a lot of minutes and is no.1 in the NBA at passing up shots. Guys just doesn't take open shots and it kills the team at times. Calderon on the other hand is a great open shooter and teams won't be able to guard us that way.

That is why I have always said that he is the X factor. Uber talent and mash potato brains.
I think Fisher was a better choice then Kerr.

It works for us because outside of Melo nobody else stands out. So you can't justify running only 8 -9 guys. Everyone was engaged. The bench was active on the sidelines. It's something we need to continue until a trade happens.
Go knicks
