By blackace Go To Postbecause I clearly remember butting heads with you when I pointed out he wasn't that good of a coach yet… even winning his ingame coaching wasn't good yet.
Anyways if no Luke or Shaw…what does PJ do?
Stay with Kurt? Hire Blatt? Ewing? Zeke lol?
But you said that when they were playing well, winning games, and over-achieving. Besides, people were calling for him to be fired.
Calling for a guy to be fired when they're .500 and over-achieving is different from calling a guy to be fired when they lose 9 of 10 and regress across the board.
By rodeoclown Go To PostDoesn't shoot corner 3s. Sam Mitchell in one sentence.it's funny because corner 3s isn't some new basketball concept or something lol
But they've actually been playing pretty solid ball of late. The talent is even overcoming the coaching sometimes! Wins cheer me up! I say this and they'll lose by 25 tonight.
By blackace Go To Postit's funny because corner 3s isn't some new basketball concept or something lolSam Mitchell hasn't seen a basketball game since 1988.
The offense they run is basically Flip Saunders circa 1997.
By 33MillionDollarMen Go To PostOh god hire Blatt for maximum fuckery please.
Mark Jackson is perfect for the Knicks, endless Melo iso's

It's like Del Harris in LA... dude was never under .500 there but wasn't a good coach
Watching the conference, so much shit taken out of context. His Thibs comment wasn't a dig on Thibs, he said he had no response because he said earlier, and repeated at the question, that he's not soliciting any coaches right now and that Rambis will coach for the rest of the season. He's not putting together candidates or starting that process.
Snyder has been stressing taking the corner 3, so its nice to see we are #2 in attempts.
Trey Lyes is going to earn a contract off that shot.

The dude wasn't a good coach because he was under-achieving with his roster. .500 isn't the appropriate metric if Kobe/Shaq/Van Exel/Eddie Jones are your starting lineup.
I never said Fish was a great coach, but that when you're over-achieving and the team is executing and playing hard then you're doing a good job, at least enough of a good job to not be fired. When you lose 9 of 10 and regress like crazy in offensive and defensive execution, then yea, you deserve to get fired.
Skiles is a good coach, but his team is a carbon copy of the Knicks. Regression like crazy, bad decisions, and 1-9 record over their last 10 games. He should also get fired, but he's a first year coach, his assistants aren't as established as Rambis is, and Rob doesn't have the clout that Phil does.
By blackace Go To PostEwing?Oh come on now, I didn't even think about it and you're teasing me. That would be exciting, for sure.
By PSYCH! Go To PostHow much do the Kings allow tonight? 130? 140?Not with Rondo directing the defense! https://streamable.com/aq58

under that metric Fisher lost 9 out of 10 with roster that maybe was about that good...
I always thought he was bad but thought his roster was worse... firing him now seems like a bad move but hey /shrug

I mean, I don't like the firing personally cuz I like Fish. But I've spent the last 3 weeks being baffled at their piss poor execution. If a team, 50 games in, can't get 15 easy points in the half court every game - running any offense really - that's a problem - and winning masks shit, so a 4-6 record or a 5-5 record and yea, that's fine.
The team is just getting worse, that's the main point. They're getting worse, and if you want to get better, you gotta make changes.

By rodeoclown Go To PostDoesn't shoot corner 3s. Sam Mitchell in one sentence.You act like The Wolves have the personnel. Towns is your best shooter.
But they've actually been playing pretty solid ball of late. The talent is even overcoming the coaching sometimes! Wins cheer me up! I say this and they'll lose by 25 tonight.
It was a silly hire in the first place. But if you're going to hire an inexperienced coach you gotta know he, along with your team, is a 4 year project at best.giri got it. I'm starting to think the Knicks' success with Porzingis and the bench guys playing well kinda flipped the script and sped up the plan, and while KP and Carmelo have grown and evolved Fisher wasn't growing fast enough for their liking.
By ratcliffja Go To PostRedick is unbelievably terrible. I just don't know how he's playing in the NBA.Being the best off-the-ball shooter in the NBA since Ray Allen probably helps.
(I know about Steph. Steph makes no sense. And he's more a create his own shot guy)
By PSYCH! Go To PostClippers suck
Clippers struggle against the best and worst teams for whatever reason.

yeah dude's only shooting 48% from three and has a .161 ws/48

I don't like the offense this team is playing under Gentry. It's a bunch of early 3s and late shot-clock forces after minimal movement. The players aren't mentally capable of running what he wants.

By etiolation Go To PostWCS is so dynamic on defenseHe's a cool dude and I like watching him. Won't ever be a major factor offensively, but still a fun player.
