That was after the Utah game. It was well warranted. This is the first time Carmelo called out his team and coaching staff. I always wandered why he never said anything early on. The "Yoyo" second unit would never be this poor if Kobe or Lebron or even Durant were here. They would have called out the coach for it long ago

He has KP floating around the perimiter aimlessly with no set plays at all for him.
Anything KP gets is off putbacks and the luck of getting a pass in an ptherwise broken play.
I have not seen one play where KP comes off a pick, goes off a screen, rolls to the basket... just nothing for KP by design.
He is killing KP's offensive efficiency by pulling him in and out of lineups for no reason at all.
On top of that he seems to think that Lance Thomas and KP are the same player.
Fisher is not creative at all, and has no real bread and butter skill he can depend on.

Woodson had defense, D'Antoni had offense, Fisher has nothing....
I think we would have at least 3 or 4 more wins with either coach.

The thing that irritates me most about Fisher is he has an ego problem. If the Garden chants for KP, Fisher gets a chip about it and refuses to put him in. Like he is trying to prove a point that he will not be swayed by the crowd. He has been awful as coach so far and has hurt KP's development.

KP is a new breed of player, but our hack for a coach has no clue how to take advantage of his strengths.

But in your world its all about going where you want to with it.

I'd say that even if you were right about Fisher, since you have no objectivity you have lost credibility to present any reasonable presentations to argue the case. After each loss you try to slam the coach regardless.

It's clear to me you know nothing about basketball just because a lot of us think fisher is clueless . We actually back it up with basic basketball knowledge of coaching. Pointing out what fish is clearly not doing as a coach.

You on the otherhand just say stuff like "you've lost your credibility " or no objective ... Umm I'm pretty sure 1969 has been very objective on multiple points on why fish isn't head coaching material. Hence all the threads he has started about his disgust for his coaching ability.

It's time to back up your reasoning if anyone here has lost credibility it's you and mrmarian all you guys do is try and bash the poster with saying stuff like "you don't know what your talking about" or "keep digging your hole" how about your reasoning for why fish is a good coach cause I would love to hear it... Or actually hear any basketball knowledge come out of your post. Cause all I here is nagging about other posters opinions. Have you ever even played organized basketball? I have all the way to college . I'm down to play any day of the week after 5pm if you wanna go to school.

Time for you to back up your bash son

Instead of belittling another persons opinion try adding to the conversation yourself... If you want to be objective go see a therapist.

Thank you so much fitzfarm, I try to neglect these cats, because I can see through their agenda. They want me to become boisterously disrespectful, but I won't give them that satisfaction

The problem is not only coaching being inexperienced, but Melo himself hasn't shown to be an elite player worthy of the super max he is getting. Phil has put a good roster - not a great one - but a good one. Put LBJ, Curry, Harden, Westbrook, Durant or someone of that class on this team and they take it to the playoffs. Melo's not good enough to be the man on a very good team. It's time for everyone in NY to accept this, including Phil. Phil built this team with Melo in the Kobe/Jordan role in mind but MJ/Kobe were much better players and mainly much better playmakers. They could get you 7-8 assists a night on a consistent basis or drop 40-50 if that's what's needed. Melo's a fringe all-star at this point. Best move Phil can make is trade him. I say this as a guy who likes Melo and appreciates that he truly wants to help NY and win as a Knick. But it won't happen so long as he's making 25 million a year and being asked to be the man/MVP on the team.

I try to help Melo to get him to a place he would have signed with as a FA. LA, Miami or Chicago. I won't do the deals just to make the deal, I'd want something back, but I'd definitely try to accommodate him and get him there, and take the best deal out of the 4 destinations (Clips, Lakers, Heat or Bulls).

I don't know if you've noticed that we are always a decent first half team; the problem is always in the second half, for which the sideline is often the main culprit
