SAN ANTONIO – That’s what friends are for.
Coach David Fizdale, reacting to owner James Dolan raising the stakes on the Knicks’ free-agent chances, said his NBA confidants have told him he’s done a “big time’’ job setting the Knicks up for a summer of grandeur.
In taking a dig at the media for its negativity regarding the Knicks’ league-worst 13-55 record, Fizdale said he’s getting better “feedback” from those he trusts more.
“The beauty of it — as much as I love you guys — I try to have my baseline on people that are having to make decisions around the league when they look at our team,’’ Fizdale said after the Knicks practiced at a San Antonio church facility.
