You’re disappointed with Fizdale because you think they should have hired Mark Jackson instead

Is that a correct read of this post? Just clarifying

Extremely disappointed in the choice of coach. Nothing personal to Fitzdale, I’m sure he is a decent coach. However I did not see him doing anything amazing with Memphis, even when they had a solid team. I would have love to see Mark Jackson implement an offense similar to what he helped build in Golden State. Also, he is a NY native and former Knick. I don’t understand why these executives do not give alumni a chance for success. They done it with Ewing, now there doing it with Jackson and he had head coaching experience. I think the GM missed a key opportunity to change the culture by bringing excitement to the team with the coaching hire. I wish Fitzdale great success, but very disappointed with Knicks executive management.

I hate to say this, but the deal for Fizdale coudl still fall through. We got this far along with Kerr after all. And the press reports say that now they will negotiate a contract. I assume the basic salary figure is agreed upon, but who knows about the rest of the contract details. That said, my guess is that Fizdale will be easier to sign than Bud. His former salary was less and he was a coach but not a GM, so he could want less than Bud did.

I honestly don’t know what kind of coach this team needs. Frizdale seems like an OK choice but this is NY. We eat coaches for dinner. Who knows how this will go? The Knicks are going to be bad next year. I’m declaring a tank already. Is Frizdale ready for that? We’ll see.

I’m happy with this hire! I was a Blatt guy but I’m totally okay with this. Being optimistic, hopefully he’ll show his full potential and lead us to the promised land!

Someone’s finally got a defense that can make Simmons pay for not shooting.

Fascinated to see what unfolds in Philly. Expect this to be 2-2 soon and a great series.

Embiid was so gassed on that last play, his legs clearly failed him. Boston is just so annoying to play against.

@41 yeah that was horrendous defense by Embiid.

Simmons with 1 point in 31 minutes.

It’s actually encouraging he knew the data
