Whatever happened to DEFENSE first, Fizdale?

You LIE!

Chandler @ 10/26/2019 10:03 PM
We should hire the French Fiba coach

At least he knows frank can guard kembA

Not sure. Frank has a Lin like hysteria about him despite not having much success as an nba player.

True

That’s an exaggeration.

People like Frank’s defense and believe he still has potential.

Fiz not playing him while Smith Jr plays so poorly only adds to the controversy.

It's only been 3 games of an 82 game season. Frank's time will come shortly. Smith has a ton of potential and the coach is trying to tap into it. Clearly Smith is pressing, and after today's performance, Frank's time may be sooner rather than later. Smith had some really good games for us last year so the potential is there....

This is Fiz’s second year with the team.

They were fooled IMO

This team is going to fall apart by the end of of 2019. We will ruin Barrett too. I can't take this shit anymore.

Last year was a tank job and an audition...dont act like you dont know what last year was about.

Still not ready to hit the panic button. Yes its ugly on many levels, also early. Not worth getting wired up.about the bad start until enough time has passed to say that we should have made the necessary adjustments, by now. A month or so from that. Do want to see a lot more screens set, it was a point of emphasis last season. This season so far, its been an afterthought.

This fucking franchise sucks. Have to find comedy after paying these prices to watch this dog shit. The fact that anyone is there is a miracle.

Dotson is so much better than Bullock and Ellington and our incompetent front office just buried our young guys to sign a bunch of journeymen.

Thankfully RJ is a stud.

Until he is here 3 years and gets sick of this shit franchise and asks out

If you are going to fix it, take out the fooled part. I'm nobody's fool...all eyes seeing.

Uptown and crush like fizz and dsj

They were fooled IMO

Also, a bit shocked at the passion guys have for Frank. Would love for him to play well and be a rotation player but I don't think his struggles are because of the two coaches he has had. He hasn't been a very good nba player
As knick fans arent we suppose to have passion for our young players and want them to succeed?
Absolutely. Never said I didn't want Frank to succeed. His resume as an nba player isn't very good yet.

Fact check. He has played well against Kemba as recently as this summer

He hasnt played a full minute tonight

This coach is a fool

Mentioned Frank's success against Kemba in the first post of the game thread.

It’s no secret except to fizz. Guy is a joke

Celts get contribution from Smart. Several teams got contributions from Beverley who was Awful on offense early in his career

Knicks make frank some Kind of whipping boy

I feel bad for him and dsj to a lesser extent

Sure, a professional coach has no responsibility of having a game plan for many of the players he will be seeing next season because there is a tank job.

Yeah, you play better defense than his team, but get the same result.

True, its only 3 games. Guys need time to gel. My main issue is that i dont see a structure/system. That makes it so much more difficult to close out games. We have talent to make this year fun but the coach needs to step up this year

No he's not. If he is not physically able to perform he needs to tell the medical staff to shut him down. It would be different if this was the playoffs and he was trying to gut it out to help the team. Game 3, if you can't play you shouldn't be out there.

You can hit it anytime you want.

Won’t change the play on the court, the game plan Fiz has had for two years now and the fact that 17 wins may be again in our horizon.

Fiz is a disaster.

This is Fiz’s second year with the team.

He has 9 new players on a 15 man roster. His continuity guys are second and third year players. Of the six guys the Knicks kept, only Trier and Dot are over age 21. Only Frank and Dot have been with the team for three years.

Offensively i agree but he has done others things pretty well. I know in todays NBA offense is considered the most important but im old school in the sense that i think defensive players are important to winning too. I understand Frank played badly in game 1 but getting 18 seconds since then does us or Frank no favors

Yeah, lack of continuity is the reason he admittedly didn’t have a game plan Pat year and so far shows none in year 2.
