He's very weak and wobbly. I don't like his posture. The Knicks are really in trouble at guard. I know we all want Grant to succeed, but it's more than simply playing him more or running special plays for him. He's just not playing well. He's 24 years old too so that's a little scary.
I just think his Playing time in soo inconsistent and that turns into inconsistent play.
Never knows, when he's going to play, if he's going to play, will he be the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th man off the bench, will he get 10, 14, 20 minutes. I know the saying ALWAYS BE READY, but what if someone came to pick you up from work every single day at a different time, and just told you to be ready, and some days they don't even show up..
You seriously need to stop finding things that players are doing bad and turning them into being the fault of Fisher. I know you don't like Fisher and you've made that very clear but it's like you put a blindfold on to certain things and only look at everything as being the fault of Fisher because you don't want him as our head coach. I know i get on a certain few of you about the hate you have towards Fisher and Calderon but if you really take everything into account you'll see that everything that you blame on Fisher really isn't always Fisher's fault. I think people take my defending of Fisher wrong because we get into it so much about him but i don't think he's some great coach but i absolutely think he gets blamed for much more than what is truly his fault and don't think he's as bad as some make him out to be. He has these guys playing hard and that's a big thing for a coach to be able to do especially when that coach is dealing with as much as he's dealing with. I think the Fisher haters should just start dealing with the fact that as of right now he's our head coach and he's not going anywhere. I think next year will be the year that he's gonna need to really show he can coach this team cause i think Phil is gonna have this team much closer to the type of team he wants next year and it will be on Fisher to take them to the playoffs and hopefully make a run in those playoffs.
agree 100%. Extremely well said!
Fisher deserves credit for a lot of positive things this year. They have played hard pretty much every game. You also have to give him credit for a significant upgrade in team defense. We don't have any player that's a candidate for defensive player of the year, yet the team plays good D and unarguably much better than last year. Even if he's not the long-term answer, the team and culture will benefit from those contributions.
I have been a frequent critic of Fisher but I actually believe he's a good -- maybe a very good -- coach. My big concern with him is whether he will be a great coach. Will he be Mark Jackson or Steve Kerr?
He has his faults but the criticisms can get blown out of proportion and he gets blamed for far too much. Last night was a perfect example. He got pilloried for making a big sub package when they closed the gap to 1. If you look at the game thread, I actually posted at that moment it was a critical time. It was absolutely a damned if you or if you don't moment. If he didn't make the subs and the new Raptors ran our guys off the court, he would have been criticized severely. What it came down to in that moment was the players. The subs needed to match the intensity and at least hold the fort and they didn't. Sh!t happens. I don't think it was a bad call on Fisher's part. Sasha lights it up for once in a long time and there's not a single comment about whether Fish had some guts in playing him. For all we know, he's been hitting his shots in practice and Fish has been waiting for it to translate into the game. Regardless if you're going to rail on him for making subs, you should at least give him credit when one of the subs contributed.
the knicks ran into a hot team (10 game streak), down 3 starters and their 2 best players on the road. I'm not a moral victory guy, but all of this bitching and complaining is tedious. it's as if people expect the team to win every game 100-0
