Sloan called a timeout when players weren't running the game plan, or the game plan needed to change. If Snyder called one every time an opponent scored on two consecutive possessions, he'd run out in the first quarter and third quarter.

But surely you remember how Jerry used to let teams run up 15 consecutive points without calling a timeout to break the momentum. I remember seeing Pop call these timeouts and would wish Jerr-Bear would do the same. I know Our Beloved John Deere went crazy when his players wouldn’t follow game plan, but I wish he could have been a bit more antagonistic toward opponents in this way.

Believe it or not, he does that on the final home game when we have a tough season. No joke. Everything except alcoholic beverages is free.

And don't think Dolan is a great guy. He's just getting rid of all the overstock. Last game of year...that crap has to go so he gives it away free.

Last night might be the best I have ever seen KK look. I love her with her hair up. And down. And bald probably but especially with her hair up

Nah, inside word is Durant really wants to be a Knick, have The Garden as his home court. (He also loves The Hamptons, too. That's an extremely ritzy beach area out on Long Island.)

Where would you go if you were him. He ain't going to Atlanta or Phoenix. Nor the Lakers. Playing with a 34 year old LeBum who will get all the credit...Durant wants no part of that.

Believe it, a lineup of Durant, Kyrie, Dennis Smith Jr, and a top pick from Duke is formidable. They will instantly become the team to beat in the East.

I agree with all that...... If they can get zion

On a somewhat relevant note, a couple of advanced statistics seem to suggest that Mudiay may well be the worst player in the league(assuming that Carmelo is now retired and hence not in the league). His Box +/- is atrocious and his Value over Replacement Player has been consistently negative over the years, meaning that statistically, you could replace him with almost any player at his position and do better. But what really takes the cake is that Mudiay is in his fourth season and still has negative win-shares for his career. Not by much, mind you, we're talking a single win share in the negative, but still shocking. Now, a player getting negative win shares while playing 25+ minutes for the season happens. There's been ten or so in the past 5 years. Mostly rookies, and Kobe in his last season.

For example, De'Aaron Fox had -0.6 win shares last year. He's playing a difficult position, he's a rookie, the team was bad. Just by playing him, they lost half a game more than they would've otherwise. Of course, the Kings wanted to give a kid playing time and develop him. He's already got 5 win shares this year. Not bad for someone who just turned 21. Meanwhile, Mudiay has played almost 4 seasons and close to 250 games and has a combined total of -1.2 win shares. That's just astounding. Keep in mind that during his time in Denver, the team had a record of just a bit under .500 so it's not like he's spent all his time on a team like the current Knicks where there are no win shares to be divided because there are simply no wins. The dude is just flat out a bad player. You play him, your team does worse. Period.

To my recollection, Sloan did not believe time-outs broke momentum. Personally, I'm not sure momentum is even a thing, but if it is, I don't see how a time-out would break it.

You call a time out to change something or draw up a special play. Why waste them?

Would you call a timeout to maybe change something like the other team going on a huge run and you wanted to draw up a special play to stop that run from continuing?

What does everyone think of Fizdale as a coach? I've always liked him.

Just to wrap things up.

The Jazz have a coach, the Knicks have a friend.

Fiz is extremely well liked by much of the league. Watching Knick games it is astonishing how many players from the other teams hug and chat with Fiz before and after the game. One opposing player even did it during the game! Fiz has a great rep as a being a good friend to all players (except Marc Gasol, of course).

As for coaching...we have shown zero improvement throughout the year. The only improvement we have made was because DeAndre Jordan and Dennis Smith Jr. joined our team. Fiz does not get our guys to defend, he does not get guys to go hard for four quarters, he has not made any adjustments to lineup that seem to work. He's definitely great with the media and with the record we have that is definitely a plus for his job status.

Fiz will develop into a top coach one day, but it isn't now. The young guy in Brooklyn - Atkinson - is an outstanding coach. It bothers the hell out of me because Kenny Atkinson was an assistant coach for the Knicks a few years ago. He should be our head coach.

One other thing...Fiz does have a smoking wife. He gets coach of the year for this:

It's a bacon, egg and cheese sandwich. Usually on a roll with butter, sometimes a bagel. They're ****ing delicious, although I tend to opt for a sausage, egg and cheese, with salt and pepper. They're served in foil, piping hot, so you can walk while you eat. It's ubiquitous in New York, and I've been trying to determine how big of a fake Melothejk is. Dude's def not from NYC, just had to make sure. I mean, a simple google search would have helped him maintain the facade:

MOUTH WATERING OH GOD I WANT ONE RIGHT NOWWWWW

A special defensive play? I don't think I have ever seen one of those. Do you have an example?
