Don't get me wrong, some of you have good observations but regarding the heat of the moment none of you are a pro level coach.
Show a little respect to the opponent and their coach. We getting beat by teams that's suppose to beat us. WE don't push? They controlled the tempo. Give them credit. They had 7 turnovers as a team. Randle and Morris had 6 of our 11. There is some of your pace right there. They out rebounded us. There is your pace. They got back on defense. Clifford had over a year with that same group now in year 2. He took over that team that was underperforming. Maybe that's what we do with Knicks, but we are not close to forming a core and committing to it.
So far won the only realistic game at home against the Bulls. Guess what, save your minds now and understand Celtics are next. Road game also. They might not be as good as last year, but they are a better team.

Rainman got all the answers and the nerve to tell us we in denial. Thinking we are better than what we are is denial. Not gonna say it don't suck, but that's reality.

I saw a lot of bad stuff out there last night too but I am seeing better defense. Im seeing frank create to get open shots which is all the more remarkable because cuz he is not a threat. Don't matter what I or anyone thinks until HE THINKS IT!!!! That's all been discussed enough.
Barrett is wonderful, Knox is improving and Mitch shows some signs of an offense. This is good stuff, just not enough of it to beat playoff teams on the road. 5 games in and wanna fire coach?, fire the FO? and Burn the whole thing down? 9 new faces and we underperforming? We have yet to even "PERFORM" at any expected level. I don't know what it is, but its not .500. What in gods name does firing a coach do this season????
I don't know what to expect but sitting there thinking "We deserve more because we have the worlds greatest arena and live in the Mecca" is delusional.
Im a knick fan, Im frustrated. But there is a limit.

The promising thing is we have played hard, competed hard and much of the slop can be cleaned up with reps

Randel is a turnover machine. The man can't handle the ball.

Thats coaching. He's responsible for guiding players towards their strong skill set. Randel running point and making passing decisions, is not his strongest skill set. Come on coach....

We look like every game is mental fatique. The other team always has a little more colectively. But this is a brand new team, just put together.

"This NY culture of no patience, entitlement, hurry up and win mentality, is our biggest weakness as an organization.....

Knox’s efficiency is improving and he’s working hard on both ends. He’s ok with me.

I expected less from Barrett. In fact, I expected a lot of what we saw against the Magic. And I loved (and love) the guy. He has his flaws but he’s doing much more in the wrong role. With that said, he’s playing a bad role because our PGs are underperforming and/or hurt.

The team has been disappointing.

Everyone and their mother knows RJ shouldn’t be playing the point.

Dotson is our best backup shooting guard and one of the few consistent shooters, he shouldn’t be buried on the bench.

Figure out how to maximize players strengths and run a ****ing offense down the stretch and stop allowing double standards. Morris is a veteran but he’s isn’t a star, nor someone that would start on a lot of teams, so why is he allowed to just fire off bad shot after bad shot.

We should have expected more from the front office. But some believe it’s ok to be numb after three years of lottery picks and trading a franchise player for a guy that’s going to be out of the league before you know it.

Hear hear

4 of the teams the Knicks played were playoff teams last year, 3 on the road.

The Knicks won the other game.

there were 4 winnable games of which they won 1.

maybe "winnable" becuae they were playing a bit over their heads? A good thing?
Do we actually close the book on Randle point forward (its not every play mind you) after a few games or do let the team work it thru.
I mean new players, and looks like a very different ball movement schematic. It takes time to burn it in? Frank looks hesitant at times but the reality is when he is dong what he suppose to he looks good, and he really has played in only two games. Randle kicking it portis in the corner was nice vs Bulls but not a good look in Orlando.
If knox was there he hits a better %.

Fiz looks to be coaching this team more. Execution is still the key to any team. More important team has its faith based system more than fans. We don't catch the nuances, just judge the results.

The only thing that matters is how RJ, Knox, and whoever else grow. Fiz has not produced but I think the only thing that matters is how the kids play and hopefully that is how he gets evaluated by the FO. We need to figure out how to get more picks and draft well.
