David Fizdale ‘not feeling’ heat from Knicks brass with future in doubt

The bus is warming. The first man to get thrown under it is coming into focus.

Less than 24 hours after the Knicks’ front office held an impromptu postgame press conference to express its displeasure with the team’s play through a 2-8 start, David Fizdale was placed squarely in the line of fire. President Steve Mills said he still supported the second-year coach Sunday night, but by Monday morning, an ESPN report indicated Mills was beginning to lay the groundwork to fire Fizdale.

“I haven’t seen anything like that. I’m not feeling that,” Fizdale said Monday afternoon following practice.
