If we were the Cards, Fizdale would be fired before last call. Actually, you can see a lot of individual improvement in the younger Knicks players there.

Not me. I’m looking forward to watching Booker hoist the NBA title come June.The Suns win three in a row and regrettably three posters are singing the Igor blues tonight.

In all fairness (to ASFN posters), the Knicks are a tanking team.The Suns win three in a row and regrettably three posters are singing the Igor blues tonight.

That's what Cotton Fitzsimmons called "extensive garbaģe" time. When the game is in the ol' deep freeze and the bench came in. Kempton oughtta remember that--he was one of them!the human victory cigar... on the road, no less!
Lol he's not looking like a mistake any longer? You kidding me? 3 wins and he's now worthy? 20 loses where we were complete crap don't mean a thing? WowWhen we lose though it will be all his fault. I only caught the 4th quarter here but I'm liking what I've seen. I don't think Igor is a great coach but he's certainly looking better than he did. I don't think he was on the level of Watson but I would have said Triano was the better coach before this game. He's learning on the job and that sucks but anyone else we hire will likely be doing the same. He's not looking like a mistake any longer. He shouldn't get a say with free agents he hasn't actually coached though. Igor requesting Ariza specifically bothers me because of how poorly Ariza played in terms of effort. Igor shouldn't have been asking for a non-star type of role player if he wasn't familiar coaching him. That would make sense but the Ariza signing goes on his resume also.
Here’s the thing though...they may be a tanking team, but we beat them by nearly 20. That’s what should’ve have happened. I mean, we haven’t had a 3 game win streak since 2017! Doesn’t mean we aren’t going to have shortcomings and that Igor has figured it out, but outside of the Spurs game, the effort has been there consistently. With all the outside noise that’s been going on the last 2 weeks, it’s hard to not get excited with small victories. Can’t ask for much more at this point.In all fairness (to ASFN posters), the Knicks are a tanking team.
In addition to team defense and hustling, the Suns leaders tonight were:
Booker 38 points and second with 7 rebounds
Warren with 26 points (mostly in the second half)
Ayton 21/13
And off the bench:
Jackson 14 points and 7 rebounds
Holmes with 13 points
Crawford with an amazing 17 assists at the age of 38 (which Ayton just referred to post-game,
saying that this was the only time this season he has seen such a passer on the Suns)
No one else had more than 3 assists
Next up ... the Celtics. Booker has scored over 100 combined in his last two games against them
including the 70.

But we were favored to win tonight's game (even on the road) and we did.I don't buy it. Nowadays all you have to do is be bad to get the "tanking team" title but that doesn't make it so. We're also called a tanking team. ESPN and some fans say we're both tanking so it must be true. But it isn't, not for us and not for the Knicks. At least, not yet. Fizdale is playing the young guys but it's not like he has much choice with that roster IMO.

But a win won't be easy.
