New York Knicks
- Carmelo Anthony wasn't in the mood to offer any deep analysis after the New York Knicks' loss Friday night.

"We're just not getting it done," he said.

That's a blanket statement and could apply to a number of things that happened on the court against the Cleveland Cavaliers. But part of the focus on Friday's 90-84 loss to the Cavaliers should lie with lateDerek Fisher put the onus on himself.

"I have to do a better job of putting guys in position to be successful out there," the coach said. "They're doing what we're asking them to do."

Thats just a coach not throwing anyone under the bus.

Your blowing 4th qtr leads particulaly in crunch time, that mostly goes on the coach. We have a different line up to finsih games every night. IDK man, theres nothing routine about our subsitution pattern, a different 6th man every night, he knows that won't work.

Starters: RoLo, KP,Carmelo, AA, and reluctantly Jose
Second squad: G&G, Williams,Lance, KO. I Like Lou,but he should only be used when KO or Lance ar not on the court. Ideally he should play when we have a stretch four like KP and when Melo is at the three.

So we have phil jackson as our GM and a fan from the UK who has no clue what is actually going on there says what the rotations MUST be? how silly is that?

Exactly. Enough is enough. It is ok to lose one or two games dude to poor coaching, but six games out of 10 is very alarming. At least the coach is now recognizing that he needs to do a better job

I disagree. Thought it was a good read and I follow Moke. What is your issue with him?

fisher is trying to get the team on the floor to play as a unit. that is the goal. if the team doesn't work as a unit, degenerating into isolation, desperation basketball, how on earth is that on fisher? you can make a case against fisher for *who* is out there, but not for what happens out there. that's on the players and how well they can execute the offense under greater defensive pressure. also, i don't like the lack of patience that so many knicks fans are exhibiting. whtever happened to giving a young, new team 25 games to figure things out?

i have liked derek fisher as a coach here from day 1. i like how he handles the press, i like how he seems to be getting through to anthony-- who is doing much better if not great the first 40 minutes of games-- and i think he is going to evolve into an excellent coach. articles and threads about his ineptitude are unfair.

EXCELLENT post! It's amazing to me how some expect Fish and the team to have it all figured inside of the 1st ten games and against top competition. It's not that easy. Even the CAVS struggled early last year as they tried to mesh all the moving parts but they had an even more experienced roster.

These Knicks are trying to win with a lot of young players mixed in. Kidd had that issue last year and his team ended up 41-41 last year! It's a process and there's a long way to go. It annoys me to read how great Kidd is but then not allow Fish more time to get a handle on his team.

Everyone should check out the records of the Cavs last year as well as Miami when the big 3 first landed.

When you have a formula that appears to work, you find ways to solidify it. Fisher had a good thing working early on; the only dudes from the first four games who were not productive were Jose and Sasha. All he had to do was to play around with a different combination in the backcourt to generate production until Aflalo's return. He decided to stick with the unproductive backcourt, and change the one unit that was constantly producing (G & G, Williams, Lance, and KO).
