This was the simple part. That’s not easy to ponder, given that we are talking about a man’s livelihood, but firing David Fizdale was an effortless response to … well, the effortless performances the Knicks have turned in over the last two games.

This is on everyone, owner on down, everyone who has conspired to turn the Knicks franchise into a deplorable joke, something beyond pity. This? This is as disgraceful as professional sports gets.
