It’s only seven games into the season and Knicks coach David Fizdale is starting to feel some heat.

The Knicks are 1-6 but until Sunday night had played well enough on defense at least to give fans hope that eventually they will put all their new pieces together. There was nothing hopeful, however, about the Knicks' 113-92 loss to a struggling Kings team.

The Knicks fans vented their frustration in the third quarter, launching into the first “Fire Fizdale” chant that has been heard at the Garden since he was hired and handed a three-year contract last season.
