Knicks are not confirming Fisher has been fired, but sources tell ESPN that he has been. Kurt Rambis will be interim coach

The Knicks have fired Derek Fisher, ESPN has learned. Management was disappointed with team's performance, decided change was needed.

Wow, I didn't think Phil would do this in the middle of the season. I suspect that Rambis will become the interim HC. It's not like fisher was really improving so I have no problem with this.

Just heard on Wfan. Certainly not a surprise. I like what I've seen out of Rambis the games he took over after Fish was ejected. Better sense of rotations and matchups. I can see him sticking if all goes well if not I can see Walton or Shaw next year. Just glad Phil is not risking his health going back to the bench

Well i guess i'm owed a thank you from you haters cause Phil was obviously waiting for me to give up on him before he fired him.

yikes!!
Knicks should be improved: win about 40 games and maybe sneak into the playoffs. Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Fisher has 4yrs and $20mil or whatever the buyout is. I'm sure it's a pretty penny and he is certainly isn't hurting

Thank goodness, that loss to denver was the icing..a team 11 games under 500, then he shifted the blame to the team, as oppose to his team

OK NIX

Yeah i think it's clearly gonna be Rambis that takes over but would that be something if Phil decided to take over for the rest of this year and maybe the rest of his contract?? Obviously this isn't gonna happen but i can dream.

I feel bad for Derek. You kinda have to lay some blame on Phil.

Wonder if this was driven by Dolan.

Fisher fired
