Knicks coach Fisher considering changes to starting lineup
After losing three in a row and getting blown out Wednesday night against the Utah Jazz, the New York Knicks are willing to try anything to get back in the win column.
According to Al Iannazzone of Newsday Sports, head coach Derek Fisher is debating switching up the starting lineup.
In any other year, a 10-13 record would have the Knicks contending for a playoff spot in the East. However, due to the conference's sudden resurgence, New York sits in 12th.
Fisher was as upset as I've seen him since he became Knicks coach. Said fast start to season may have made them a little complacent

Since the Knicks are without their first-round pick in 2016, tanking won't do them any good. In order to get the most out of this season, they'll need to find a way to make make the playoffs.
One potential candidate to be moved to the starting five is Langston Galloway. The 6-foot-2 guard has played well off the bench this year, averaging 8.2 points per game and shooting 42.3 percent from three.
Fisher will have an opportunity to get creative with the lineup Thursday, when the Knicks face the Sacramento Kings.
