And anyone can clearly see AA got tired and Shump was playing him well and he was struggling...and to continue to go that matchup! It's just plain stupid!
I ask myself... why did we lose tonight? The answer is we lack good offensive players outside of Carmelo and KP. And KP needs to take over this shit already. There is no universe in which Galloway and Afflalo should be taking clutch shots [and missing] over him. And Calderon is still a stupid player. I don't care what anybody says he needs to go.

KP is the reason we had the lead. He's also the reason we lost, due to his lack of touches down the stretch. This is where Melo's leadership as a closer comes to play.
It was crazy- they weren't looking for their biggest advantage once- I don't think he touched it in 6 possesions
How appropriate. KP open again and AA forcing a bad shot
Terrible from Fisher. Left KP (who was having his best game given the opposition as a Knick)out way too long losing all his and the teams momentum. Fisher again came up short despite some very decent performances.
Fisher SUCKS.. Hard to watch this idiot coach
Every time we are in a close game against a good team with a quality coach, we will lose because of bad coaching. Hands down.
does anybody know how many touches kp6 had in the fourth quarter???

hard stat to trap
He really does suck. Has learned absolutely nothing this year.
Not one shot. That is for sure. He had an assist to AA
Jose is afraid to shoot; he never puts pressure on the defense with penetration; and he cannot defend anyone, yet he plays Melo minutes tonight after being benched in the 4th last game? Fish has no idea what he's doing. No rhyme or reason to his decisions. No consistency whatsoever.
Also problem besides coach is pg play.. Calderon really is not a pg, neither is galloway and grant looks worse every game
Afflalo played very selfish down the stretch cost the game. Why go away from KP who was hot and doing good things early. How do you miss a 7'3 wide open at the 3 point line...
KP needed to play 40 minutes to win this game....not sure if a single win was worth burning out your top rookie. But with this team, KP will have to play heavy minutes to have a chance at beating the top NBA teams.
True a real pg gets the ball to the right matchup. The one time he did, KP had Delli on him and stupid Fisher calls a timeout.
Unreal!!

Knicks are a good pg away from being a good team
I am really pissed. The team played really hard tonight and were in a position to steal this game. Bad coaching and execution in the last 5 minutes cost us this game. This game was winnable!

Yes KP only played 38 minutes, he should have played the whole game. Never mind that he has been playing more basketball than he's ever played in his life and he is the future of the franchise - play him until he breaks (than you can turn around and complain about how Fish overplayed him and that led to him being injured...)
