The idiots running the Knicks fired David Fizdale on Friday, after a 129-92 loss to the Nuggets the night before, and it was absolutely refreshing to see how everyone else across the league reacted to the news. Here’s a roundup of Fizdale’s well-wishers, who were unanimously thrilled to see a friend get out of such a toxic relationship:

“I’m happy for Fizdale to be out of that terrible mess that he had nothing to do with.”
Reggie Miller, via Twitter:
“I’m actually happy for Coach Dave Fizdale, he’s a good man who’s was dealt a terrible hand with the Knicks.. But he’s not the only one who should be shown the door. #KnicksStink”

“I’m so happy for Coach Fizdale! Yes! He gets to go to bed at night, no more stress."
Stan Van Gundy, via NBATV:
“I’m happy for David Fizdale, I really am. I mean to be out of that cesspool is good for him, I think. And his mental health and everything else.”
