Fiz is the best coach we've had since Riley.

Full stop.

He is trying to win games, and I think also trying to figure out which players should be part of the long term future here.

I don't think there is one player right now on the team healthy who is a clear cut starter in the NBA.

You have a ton of middling, average, mixed talents. Some with upside, some with downsides.

Besides KP, who is the clear cut starters????

Fizz is just another stop gap coach. He sucks there is no system no plan.

So True .. Fiz is just another front-office puppet-coach without a system or defensive plan.
All the different starter lineup changes in 24 games has not got players on the same-page.

Ok. But this is the complete opposite of keeping what you kill lol

I don't want knox, trier or dotson in the starting line up, because if you fill out the bench with everyone who is struggling, what do you think is going to happen?

Either they wont be able to sustain leads or comeback from a deficit. Its got to be a balance

I don't agree with this, but I can kinda see your point. How do you explain the fact that Dot wasn't playing at all?

He was part of the starting line up that would get off to slow starts, then he started missing shots and playing a lil shaky. He rewarded Mario with his minutes because he saw an improvement in his defense.

fiz was very honest about the knicks having an extended preseason, 20 to 25 games in.

should he have just stayed with a line up that was falling behind by double digits for 5 straight games

Glad someone seems to know. Yes this guy is Perry’s puppet and Perry scares me as a no talent GM. Who is know to give up on the wrong up and coming players. Oladipo and Harris are prime examples. This what he is doing to Ntlikina and this going to be disastrous mistake. As for Fizz he has no system so any player of Ntlikina’s ilk is going to struggle. He isn’t a street baller. Usually street ballers don’t play well in systems. And system players don’t play well in street ball. Ntlikina needs structure and Fiz has no structure. Street ball fans will be happy with Fizz but winning is about system.

I'm not ready to go this far, yet. But I can definitely see some of the frustration Gasol and Memphis fans had with Fiz's media statements.

Perry was the assistant GM in Orlando.

Ssssh. Don't let the facts get in the way of Vmarts agenda.
