    I still don't understand some of the lineup choices, especially in the 4th.

    Can we please run one real play. Just one. In the final 2 minutes of the game. Is that asking too much?

    Gee whiz, it's shocking we can function when we don't play these three together:

    Hopefully Rob will help him figure it out in about a week.

    Frank didn't run any plays either, but was a top 5 coach. Lol

    Unserious coach , there is no reason to not have at least one of Lebron or AD on the floor during 48 minutes .

    Knicks went up by 8 when it happened in the 1st half

    not sure this is the victory you think it is. the main reason folks wanted frank gone was that he was supposedly some sort of offensive dunce. some of us said that probably wasn't true, and that our personnel probably led to some of the maddening end-of-game stuff.

    and here we are. with iso lebron at the three point line, just wishin' and hopin' we don't have to actually work for a bucket.

    FAIL of a take.
    Frank won a Championship as our coach. Try again.

    Yeah and he got fired two years later. I'm pretty sure the FO was aware that he won a Championship.

    They took a great defensive team attached to a defensive coach and turned it into a very poor defensive team. Fit with players matter (Rui looking good here vs Washington) and matters with coaches. You can blame Lebron/AD, FO, or both but they put him and his skillset into a very bad spot. Vogel is a good coach and he's one now in both Indiana and a title in LA

    The coach's job is to coach the players he has been given. He failed at that and they moved on. Like I said, the FO was fully aware of the circumstances. Vogel got a chip, fair exchange IMO. He might get another gig, he might not.He will always have a chip though.

    LOL!
    Scapegoat. Not even Phil Jackson along with Pat Riley could have won with those teams after the Bubble.

    Scapegoat definitely and a better defensive coach it seems. But don’t agree about the team assembled to start the season following the ring. Injuries to the key players derailed that.

    Back to the Schroeder/Beverley starting backcourt. It’s not as big a deal with Rui starting but I still hope we eventually start Walker or Reaves at the 2 and finally have a normal lineup.

    This dude makes it very hard to get wins at times.

    d****** lineups, weird defense (go under screens 3 after 3 gets drilled). Putting players in the wrong position
