That he hasn't had enough time isn't a really compelling reason.

Maybe, maybe not. Its a compelling reason but a more compelling question. 12 coaches in 18 years.
If true Knicks must have a hell of a reason to do this with that kind of track record and this early in the season. Is it a panic move or more fundamentally based?

I don’t know what to believe with Woj’s Knick reporting. He hated Phil that bias always came out in his articles during Phil’s tenure.

Im in the deductive reasoning camp. If this is true, what can a new coach bring that better damn well improve things beyond an easier schedule and getting players back. What is Fiz doing that he can't change that would cause his dismissal?

Yeah, but the other side: look at who we brought in to replace Layden. I don't want Fiz to get fired either, but I don't want to see another crazy lineup with Frank at PF, RJ our point guard in the halfcourt and Randle our initiator on the fastbreak.

Its unreal to me that he complains about ISO and spacing yet continues to play Morris and Randle together! They are the same player!! We don't need both at the same time. Now, this is a FO folly move not necessarily Fiz's fault but he must play the cards dealt to him and he is not doing it right. That is why the press conference yesterday.

I don't like MIlls and I don't like Fiz. I think Perry is OK and I would be OK with him being GM/President. However, I think Fiz is his guy, so that is a worry.

IF Perry is not a fiz guy then I say promtoe hime, fire Mills and FIz and put Mike Malone as head coach. Let him TEACH and run a GD SYSTEM besides Randle bringin up the ball!!!!!!

How many times does Randle have to turn the ball over until Fiz realizes its not working!! OMG!!

Randle or Morris should be on the 2nd unit. I would go with Morris as starter and Randle as a PF off the bench.

The lineup should be:

Frank
RJ
Knox
Morris
Mitch

DSj
Trier
Dotson
Randle
Taj

Let the rest fight for time as needed. Ellington can play if Trier or Dotson are off. Iggy should play if all 3 above are off.

WHere is Portis? Well, until he learns how to use that 7' wing span for Defense, he should sit. Yes, his play in the 2 wins was crucial but the same could be said for the 7 losses. Taj should play more than Portis always.

I agree about the lineup. Keep Morris in there who can spread the floor and play better D than Randle. Let Randle loose on second units and he should tear it up and get some mojo back. Knox is the ideal 3 as a floor spacer between Barrett and Morris.
