Not sure if anyone mentioned this interesting statistic. Miami Heat commits 0 fouls in the 3rd quarter. Amazing. With all the annoying ticky tack fouls called tonight, the Heat manage to commit 0 fouls throughout an entire quarter. Damn they are GOOD!

yeah he was too inexperienced. Most coaches start as assistants first...he didnt and he probably should have
It's a moot point! Phil KNEW Fish was raw but he wanted that! He likes his talent and is willing to live with some early struggles. Pat Riley dealt with Sporlstra's early struggles cuz he liked his talent.
it isnt a moot point. I think fish CAN be a good head coach someday but he still looks too green right now.
It's moot because there is no D League we can send Fish too. He's gonna have to learn on the job. Fish is gonna grow at the same time as our players! This is how Phil wanted it and there's no denying that. Phil KNEW Fish was raw and said he wanted to groom him.

I don't know if there's been a single game all year where we've gotten the benefit of the calls.
Phil wanted Kerr to coach the Knicks. Fisher was just an option that Phil had to make.

I agree. That s ridiculous. Especially for a team that plays d like the heat.
On the bright side, Knicks have games against the Sixers and Nets in the coming week.

I have finally gotten a chance to watch the Sixers. They fight and are scrappy. That could be a trap game.

It would be the Knickiest thing of all-time if we give them their first win of the season. Sigh. That'll probably be what happens.

i wouldnt be shocked
Jerian looked good tonight and that's important for our future. If Jerian and KP turn out as solid or better performers this will be a good season.

agreed. Both rookies are my favorites. Obviously kp has bigger upside but grant will be solid
Grant can be very good. Especially if the shot comes.

We're gonna have to deal with this in addition to players having ups and downs too. It's all part of the process IMO! They will grow together as a team.
Phil will have to help as GM and as a helper to Fish as a coach.
i wish phil could be on the bench. He is far better as a coach obviously
Phil wouldn't coach this roster in 100 years - he knows it's crap.

Pretty sure that D Wade conducted a refs only meeting to go over when the Heat was going to make their run and how the refs should call things.
Hard to believe that Afflalo's been playing 30 mpg for almost three weeks and he still hasn't gotten a steal!
We need a consistent 3 pt shooter not for AA to be a post up player like Seraphin.

The Heat are just much better than us right now. They have their eyes on the Cavs this year, we're just a gnat for them to swat away.
They are. Spoelestra is a really good coach. The Heat might be the second best team in the east. Also, they lost LBJ but they ave added a lot of talent.
To be honest, we played the Heat twice and the Cavs twice so far and I've come away far more impressed by the Heat. Wouldn't be shocked to see the Heat knock off the Cavs this year.
it does not work that way. You need to also watch them against other teams. How they have both played us really has not bearing on how they will play head to head.

how about his assists? How can you be such a bad passer at guard?
his shot which has been good in his career has looked absolutely terrible.
