Mitch didn’t look good. In fact, he should look across the court at Jarrett Allen for some lessons about how to gear down a bit and still be effective. Allen is a good young player. Allen also easily won a tip against Mitch, which I found surprising.

Frank committed one really dumb foul against Dinwiddie, a touch foul at the end of the first half not realizing the Knicks were in the penalty. But he only had three fouls overall and Spencer went to the line 14 times. So it wasn’t just Frank getting burned.

The day after the Mills/Perry presser, Alan Hahn said something that still resonates with me. I’m paraphrasing. Fizdale was brought in to babysit superstars. He’s not a strategic coach.
So here we are with a mishmash of temporary mercenary vets, two draftees that have considerable upside, and a few draftees ( and one free agent) that appear to have the potential to be rotation pieces. Our coaching staff has shown no ability to create a coherent and cohesive plan to exploit our assets.

The really depressing part is how poorly coached they are and how primitive and aesthetically insulting the offensive scheme is.

And the Dallas pick is going to suck next year, The Knicks got taken to the cleaners, what a shock.

The most depressing parts so far for me are Knox’s regression and Trier’s burial.

This was a pretty dispiriting game because all the kids pretty much played like butt. We almost got willed to a marginal win by the one-and-done veterans but I guess we avoided that, so yay?

This gon’ be a long season.

So how often can Frank let guys like Dinwiddie roast us and still be a net positive?

Please tell me that they’re at least smart enough to trade Morris.

We’re just as likely to give him the max…

Man, watching Marcus Morris heroball them to a close loss at home to a Kyrie-less Nets team is about as un- fun as it gets.

Pretty sure this is basically the Fizdale approach to developing Frank: get him to do things he sucks at and then work on making him okay at those things.

That’s the way he’s developing the team too. First he gets us to play the games. Then at some point in the future we’ll get okay at it.
