  • Stephen A. Smith unsurprisingly calls the New York Knicks firing of David Fizdale a complete disaster. Smith insists that the Knicks search for a head coach that has New York based roots in order to get the city to rally behind the team.

      Well said. That pathetic garbage team had legendary Lenny Wilkins and Larry brown and that didn’t save them so this clown talking about getting another coach is missing the bigger picture. 12 coaches in 18 years, missed the playoffs six-years straight, made the post season just four times in 18 seasons, has not advanced beyond the second round since 2000! It starts from the top first. How they expect a coach who only been there for a minute to fix everything that’s been totally wrong and upside down for a very long time! Fire the fans!

If the Knicks were in New Orleans, or Orlando the commissioner would've stepped in to force owner out but since they are in the big city they will sell win or lose.
