Put Some Hornacek On Our Game: 2016 New York Knicks Offseason Thread

[Victim of Racism]

Ramona on ESPN said that Rambis is going to coach til the end of the season and the Knicks won't hire anyone til then.

 

[NY's #1 Draft Pick]

He won't do anything Phil doesn't tell him to do. Fish did what he was asked. Phil told Fish how long of a rotation to run. Phil built the roster. Phil wanted to force his offense on the roster he built that doesn't fit it. Phil is "all about process, not results and playoffs" aka Zen babel, blah, blah, blah. Phil has been trash and no one wants to say it. That said, I don't want him fired before he's given a chance, like he did Fisher.

So you mean to tell me Phil was in fishers ear the whole time telling him what rotations to set what players to etc

You sure you want this guy on our team. How many of you remember this:



I'd rather have Teague than him.

I mean if this cat likes getting his shyt pushed in, that's on him. I'm concerned with can he slash and get assists and knock down jumpers.

I love men. You guys are beautiful (excuse the expression).

I don't want to see Vujacic getting any minutes unless we're up by 15 with one minute to go.

Considering Knick brehs of all types have repeatedly flirted with hanging up their Fandom because of the bullshyt, politics and tragedies that happen with this organization, don't tell me for one minute you can't give benefit of the doubt to a coach...

Who jumped in the middle of a pack of 7 footers to protect his players.

And who's hair started going noticeably grey and thin as a result of the constant "he's getting fired if we lose the next game" rumors.

I'd have quit too. That man gave EVERYTHING as a coach.

Stop.

Cat's really trying to discredit JVG in here? nikka has a spot at my dinner table anytime he's in town...fukk all that noise.

Stop quoting random muthafukkas


You seem to be the only one not thrilled with this move. Did you see any progress from fisher at all? Do you wanna continue to see the same shyt night in and night out? Hell no it's phils hire but if this guy ain't cutting it then he has to go!

My dude, all I'm saying is Fish could have thrived with a roster that actually fits the offense he was forced to run because Fish knows the offense and unlike Kerr and Walton, his team will play defense. This mess is Phil's fault but no one wants to blame him because he's a Euro — not 'cause he's a winner. Doc is a winner and is blamed all the time. Popovich isn't blamed for losing in the 1st round to the Clipps. People have admitted that the roster doesn't fit the offense, but still blamed Fish for sticking to the offense — as if Phil will let Fish (or anyone else) run another offense. All of a sudden, we got amnesia that Phil is stubborn over the Triangle.

And I'm quoting random people. I quoted other Knicks fans that feel the same way. I don't mind if they go in another direction, as long as he's given the opportunity that Fish wasn't given. Fish tanked (no pun), ran Phil's offense (even with the wrong roster) — did everything that was asked of him and he was fired for it. It's not right and it won't bring the fans what they deserve — a ch'ip.

We been complaining since the beginning of the season about the terrible rotations. Every loss is the same story.

Stop.

When the going got tough he quit on the team fam. JVG also can't make adjustments on the fly as a coach. He's so stuck in his ways it's detrimental to the team. When the NBA game got faster & smaller he couldn't keep up & was exposed out west when he was the Rockets coach. Yeah he was loyal to certain players but I'm more critical of his coaching & how he left our team.

Nah, my dude, he didn't have to. You just tell him once. Fish worked for Phil. You do what you're told and you may not lose your job, especially when your boss is a former coach with 11 rings. You know all that "it's about the process, not playoffs or results" was Zen babel, parroted from Phil.

Any Knick fan that thinks running the Triangle with this roster has any hope of being a top 4 seed in this conference or any conference is high.
