Derek Fishers coaching

[NZStreetBaller]

Not bad so far i think....... he was coached by the zen master and did play with one of the hardest guys to play with and has experience winning championships...... I think he could do some magic with the knicks this season.

[oarabbus]

Yup, definitely. The Knicks are actually entertaining to watch this season due to the ball movement.

[imnew09]

Knicks line up is still pretty weak tho. Need a legit 2nd and 3rd options if they want to contend.

will be better then last year though right??

Yea, hopefully better Next year as well. I like Fisher, and I really hope he become a successful coach :bowdown:

[Pointguard]

His coaching has been great. They are winning close games despite messing up plays. He got rid of bad habits left and right. JR is focused. Amare hustles. Mello is having an easier time and they believe in themselves. They win as a team and the ball movement has been great. Defense is good. He's definitely been above an A so far.

The team will be different next year but a lot of guys have bought into the philosophy.

We all enjoy crapping on the Knicks but let's be honest here NYK doing good benefits the league.

[roffie]

been really impressed with fisher so far.. phill jackson knows whats up

[Teanett]

fisher has delivered 2 1/2 better games than woodson has in 2 1/2 seasons... but that was the easy part.

he's been great so far, surpassing all our expectations.

He's been shit.
It seems like he's a good motivator, but his triangle completely sucks.
Maybe shit is harsh for a rookie coach, so I'll change that to below average.
The Knicks are winning because they pass the ball this year and this is the accomplishment of Phil

Bolded will be the story of Fish's career as a coach in NY. Everyone will always give the credit to Phil.

Come on dude when we went 54-28 with Woodson he looked like a great coach. Last year, I think Woodson just didn't know what to do since he had no idea how to use Amare and how to spread out touches with the lineup.

[russwest0]

I knew he'd be a good coach.

Here in OKC he basically was the coach. Always pulling players aside and giving them advice, giving speeches in the lockerroom, etc.

[russwest0]

One thing about Fisher is that he's a man the players will no doubt look up to and respect.

nonono,
woodson was terrible. you saw what happened when kidd and sheed left?

he was terrible with the hawks too. he is the creator of iso-joe.
he never looked like he had a plan on offense.
he always matched up to the opponent.
his switching defense would drive me crazy. (and it led to the tyson chandler trade)

terrible rotations:
jr smith had carte blanche to do whatever he saw fit. shumpert was in his doghouse for two seasons. i bet he calls him "rook" to this day.
melo led the league in minutes.
jason kidd had to play so much, he ended his career.
cole aldrich never played.
beno udrih got called out and woodson couldnt find minutes for him over RAYMOND FUKKIN FELTON!
do you think shane larkin would play under woodson? hell no.

:biggums:

the triangle is looking like shit atm though
dont know why they are going with it anyway

idk what's shit about 30 assists on 37 field goals?
call it what you want but the offense has much better spacing now.

if they play triangle, they go to the weak side where there's an iso close to the basket, a la jordan or kobe, not like an iso top of the key.

[christian1923]

So far I like how he utilizes his time outs. I like how he's not running melo into the ground either like Woodson was.. Melo use to be super clutch but these past two seasons he would suck in the 4th.. Melo playing less minutes helps him have his legs in the 4th when we really need him.. Allowing him to bust shits in lebrons eye

Based off what? Did you watch any of the games? What I see when I watch is Melo passing the ball without stopping the rock. Same with JR. Shane Larkin getting feeds from Amar'e on back cuts. Guys like Jason Smith putting in wide open midrange jumpers.

It's been looking great. I couldn't give less of a **** if it's a "real Triangle Offense" or not, it's been great.

Repped. Keeping it real.

You're either unbelievably stupid, or haven't been watching.

Let's hope it's the latter for your own benefit. :facepalm

[smoovegittar]

Very pleased with Fish... but I'm not suprised. Dude's a born leader.

There will be respect back in the Garden soon if this keeps up.

[sammichoffate]

Didn't doubt him when they hired him, I just didn't think they would adapt this quickly to the Triangle. He's done a commendable job so far managing the team, they can sneak into the playoffs barring issues.

takes a long time to learn... and fisher probably knows it as well as anyone.

guys are quickly ditching it now at the first sign of ambiguity as to what to do on offense.... this habit will decline as time goes on.

fishers a winner... he doesn't know how to lose... :bowdown:

[TryToBeUnbias]

It takes a while to master the triangle, give it time.

[SpecialQue]

Underrated. Great coach. Don't know what's bigger, his coaching talent or his titties.
