Exactly. ...people are forgetting about the 60 something loses and rather focus on 2 wins. Its not easy for a team run by phil and fisher who combined has more championships than any knick will have ever. Otherwise Melo wouldve played all season and we wouldve had the 8th or 9th pick Which wouldve been dreadful.
All of the rookies can share some blame for the entire season....
Fisher ..... rookie
Phil ...... rookie
Both fell below expectations at some point during the season. What else do you expect from a rookie. A skilled GM or skilled Coach wouldve had a big picture strategy and less pressure to prove their worth. All rookies main objective on all levels is to prove the have the skill sets to exceed expectations. Fisher was hired to win games...cant fault him. Phil was hired to drive this organization in the right direction. We ended up with the 2nd worst record. To expect anything else from a rookie coach or GM is really knit picking....
