Well no blame. It was a very bad mistake not paying Alex. I'm not sure what continuity will continue here a lot of questions. Not Phil's fault that we traded away draft pick that was Jim Dolan I think phil needs to be flexible in how he views guards and how the nba works now. We'd also been better off paying Barton than Affalo with perhaps an extra year

It was a mistake: to hire someone who never coached in his life; go into the season with Calderon and a neophyte like Grant as the only PGs on the roster; last but not least, go into the season with two average height and athletically challenge bigs in Seraphin and KO

It's kinda hard to regress from a 17 win season. They won 37 games the season prior with stupid Bargnani and some valuable players who Phil couldn't wait to get rid of. He gave those players away just to get rid of them and got nothing back. Now we are seeing the effects of not understanding value and managing cap space

regressed? was not really possible. Melo has played this year and we brought in Rolo, KP and AA. beating 17 wins is not considered progress. To me, our expected progress is below expectations and our offense is way below expectations.

Technically it is all on Phil. I never agreed with the hire of fisher, because I didn't think he would have what it takes. After 133 games, I am proven to be correct

Right agree and that's what Stan van gundys said the benchmark for improvement is anything over 37 wins

Ahahahahaha we can keep on hoping:::))))). A guy who has good coaching qualities usually exhibits those qualities throughout the seasons. The young dude who coached the team we played today has those qualities, not fisher

I'm sticking to what I said earlier in the year. We make the playoffs winning 40-45 games and Fisher is a keeper. We narrowly miss the playoffs after winning 38 games but finish strong Fisher gets to start the year but with a shorter hook. They need a better start then the start they had this year. There needs to be upward progress.

But if this regression continues and we win 30 games which would be progress according to analog then he will be fired sooner rather than later or by seasons end. Then all the pressure shifts to Phil. I would hope he hires a Walton or someone who will continue to push Melo to play the way he's been playing. Someone who can draw up plays out of a time out and not let Melo force last second heaves. Obviously Phil is not going to hire an unimagitive Woodson type

woodson ran super small ball and we set a record for made 3's. The offense was not the problem, it was the Melo's and JR's that deviated too often especially in the playoffs. Also, kidd crumbled.

Everyone on here was praising Phil for what he did with this roster 2 months ago and i mean EVERYONE so please don't try to be that guy that says he wasn't. When we were playing really good which was up until Melo stepped on that refs foot there was plenty of people posting about what a great job Phil did with this roster and i was definitely one of them.
