Hopefully our interim coach does not have an interim dungeon.

Fiz is a dead man walking, rightfully so. I’m picking December 7 as the day that will live in infamy. We’ll be 6-17 by then after having gotten routed on our home floor by the Pacers. How’s that for an over/under point?

Well I was close. Wait…it is actually December 7th in Japan rignt now and I was eating sushi when I made the prediction…

Where does Fiz rank in the pantheon of Knicks coaches?

Here’s Yardbarker in the 3rd P. of the article announcing the firing:

The Knicks have arguably the worst roster in the NBA after they missed out on all of the big-name free agents over the summer, and firing Fizdale is the easiest “fix” they can make at the moment.

life is short, and why should I waste my time watching something that doesn’t resonate when I could be living my life, typing 10,000 words a day on new york knicks fan blog?

Hahaha. Yes, I feel the same way.

If it doesn’t grip me, I’m gonna walk away and never think about it again. It wasn’t just Breaking Bad. I watched the first episode of the Sopranos when it aired and never watched another. And I watched the first episode of West Wing and hated it and never watched another. And (uh oh, here it comes…) I watched half an episode of Game of Thrones and turned the channel back to KnicksIn60 because it felt like less of a waste of time:)

The only show I stuck through the first few bad episodes of was 30 Rock, which started out very generic. But I’d cought a later episode on a plane, and thought it was funny, so went back to beginning and was glad that I made it to episode 4 or so, because from then in it was sublime. But I think it’s easier to do that with episodic comedies than with hourlongs.

Homeland was gripping from second one, so I stuck with it even through it’s decline period (though I abandoned it when it just got flat out horrible).

Twin Peaks (original) is my favorite series ever. Gripping from the opening note of the title credits. Can’t wait to have time to watch the redux properly (someday:)

Some shows I make it a season through, like Lost and Mad Men, because the quality of the production grips me more than the characters and situations do. But once there’s a pause, I just don’t think to go back to them.

(I just watched the Paul Rudd series on Netflix, btw, and liked it a lot, but I also love the Charlie Kaufman movies that it was, obviously, highly influenced by.)

The best thing David Fizdale ever did was be a likable guy. The media won’t allow Fizdale to be the fall guy as bad as Steve Mills and Scott Perry want to try.

Maybe bring Hornacek back and save some money?

Just kidding.

No announcement of the new coach’s identity is troubling. Pills *cannot* be allowed to hire anyone other than an interim coach.

They fired Keith Smart, too.

I’m happy about that.

Now comes the fun part: Mike Miller, Keith Smart, or Mark Jackson.

EDIT: One down (Smart).
