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. Back-to-back no-shows speaks to a culture of apathy. The coach pays for...

The inevitable became a reality Friday afternoon. David Fizdale was fired by the Knicks after 84 games and just 21 wins. This year was supposed to be different, after the additions of Marcus Morris, Julius Randle, RJ Barrett, Taj Gibson and Wayne Ellington. Instead, with a 4-18 record, the season was somehow going worse than...

Welcome to the not-so-exclusive club of former Knicks coaches, David Fizdale. You have plenty of company.

Assistant coach Keith Smart was also axed. The writing has been on...

David Fizdale will get to see the Knicks at their best on Friday. Fizdale is leading the team in practice — seemingly the only place his team thrives — on Friday, following back-to-back shameful losses to the Bucks and Nuggets. The pressure around Fizdale’s job has reached a high point after a 129-92 loss to...

The Nuggets came to the Garden on Thursday night as the NBA’s 24th-ranked 3-point shooting team. The Knicks were just the elixir they needed. The Nuggets shot 11 of 18 from 3 in the first half to build a 22-point lead and only slightly cooled off from there (finishing 21-for-39) in a 129-92 thrashing of...

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. This is as despicable as it gets. “It’s sickening,” Knicks coach David Fizdale said, but at least he got paid Thursday night. So...

The Knicks were finally whole again Thursday night. And it still couldn’t save them from a repeat embarrassment. Coming off a 44-point loss to the Bucks on Monday, the Knicks fell flat on their faces again for an eighth straight loss, getting crushed by the Nuggets 129-92 at the Garden. The Nuggets (14-5) led by...

The dangers of life as a dad cost the Knicks their most consistent player for two games. Marcus Morris is expected to return Thursday night against the Nuggets after missing back-to-back games because of cervical spasms. The culprit for his neck injury? “You know, it’s funny. My son jumped on me early in the morning....

There is never a good time for a 44-point loss, after which a coach says his team did not believe it could beat its opponent. But David Fizdale sees otherwise, perhaps because his job depends on it. And the Knicks will have an immediate chance to prove him right that it was just one bad...

Allonzo Trier doesn’t know what the future holds. It’s as big a mystery to him as David Fizdale’s chances of finishing his second season. The second-year shooting guard knows the present has not been ideal. The former Arizona star has not played in eight of the last 10 games. During Monday’s horrific 44-point loss in...

If David Fizdale is going to be made the scapegoat by Knicks president Steve Mills for his hodgepodge roster, it’s going to take a little while longer. According to an NBA source, Monday’s 44-point blowout loss in Milwaukee did not put the Knicks coach in any immediate danger, as bad as the optics were. Fizdale,...

The Knicks were destroyed by the Bucks on Monday night, losing by 44 points. That means there’s one thing you need to be locked into this Tuesday (and every Tuesday)…a brand-new episode of the “Big Apple Buckets” podcast with Kazeem Famuyide. Kaz opens up the show with an epic rant about the bad loss, the...

MILWAUKEE — Knicks rookie RJ Barrett had never played a home/road back-to-back with a plane ride in between. He didn’t take to it. In the worst performance of his rookie season, Barrett went 0-for-9 from the field, finishing with two points and one assist in 20 minutes Monday night. Twice he drove to the basket...

MILWAUKEE — The Knicks went from bad to disgusting Monday at Fiserv Forum. The Bucks are the NBA’s hottest team and favorite to reach the NBA Finals.

MILWAUKEE — While two-way G-League point guard, Kadeem Allen was flown into town as an emergency addition Monday night with Frank Ntilikina sidelined, Elfrid Payton was on the verge of shaking up the point-guard situation.
