fire dantoni btw, ftw
What have you seen from D'Antoni that makes you think he can fix this sinking ship? I haven't seen sh*t. Most of our problems are due to his coaching.
What does he do to help this team? I gotta hear this.
Maybe I'm wrong but I don't see it as a sinking ship. We will see.. To me right now, IT'S ABOUT THE PLAYERS.
First of all the team we have this year is better, obviously, than the one from last. Overall the talent level of the team is higher with Tyson at the 5 and Amare able to move to PF. We do have the best frontline in the game currently. We can see the potential of having those 3 guys in the frontcourt, but we have yet to see what they can really do together. This will take some time.
Second, these guys haven't really played together that long. Amare and Tyson need to figure (their spacing is just f-ed right now) out how to play together. Amare, Tyson and Melo have to figure out how to play together. And TD and Fields are a new back court the last time I checked. So,.......... this 5 has played a grand total of SIX games together people. SIX ....
I'm baffled as to how people can expect so much in such a short amount of time. Takes time for a newly assembled team to gel. Period. It's not all on MDA.
Lastly, and very simply, WE HAVE THE WORST BACK COURT IN THE NBA. TD is terrible. He's not a PG who can run this offense as it should be run, atleast not currently.. And Fields as we all know is not the same guy from last year. He's sucked big time.
Having said all of that... What the hell do want this coach to do??
Is it just hate? You hate the system? Fine.
But the issues we face are more complex and involve more than just looking at MDA.
If you're gonna complain atleast be objective. :calm:And that's not directed only at you KingofNY.
+1 Obviously there are half a dozen undisputedly obvious and profound reasons why we have struggled (a handful of games into a season lol....)...and not a single one of them is MDA. One wouldn't think that, of course, listening to KO's most flamboyant talk show hosts and PR workers, however. :smokin:
Lezbehonest...
And those thoughts and feelings might even be right, but that is beside the point.
When you look at metrics -- real metrics of success and failure -- we don't have a sinking ship, and our rearview mirror is one that shows a successful season that exceeded the expectations of analysts and fans alike (including KO, and particularly KO members who are anti-MDA. Pausemother****ingPause).
I DONT MIND IF IT'S 20 GAMES IN as long as it gets done! BUT I'VE SEEN ENOUGH. I will no longer support this crap, nor fool myself into believing this is a good thing. I don't care how many playoffs we reach. Playoffs? Your talking about playoffs?
I'm talking about competing for a title.
Ron,
seeing how we play, played in the playoffs, play at our best WITH EVERY SHOT going in....
is that how you learned the game of basketball?
Have ANY of your senses or instincts been alerted to the fact that this is NOT what you know as quality basketball? ANY?
you're right. you know my thinking on this. i know the history.
you know i think his style of play is unorthodox. you're supposed to play inside out.
that said..
when run properly,and it takes some time MDAs offense can be highly effective

Wow thats the biggest list in knicksonline history :lol:
Now what's your stance?
Simply and succinctly please. :smokin:
give it 20 games.. so basically same as it ever was.
also, mda is a gd coach. he didn't forget how to do his job.
as we saw tnite, when the spacing is right, guys move the ball and they start to develop a lil familiarity this offense is devasting. it looked pretty tnite. teams wont have an answer for melo n amare n our spacing/movement. when baron comes into the fold... lookout.
we will then have all necessary components to dominate.
red, you proved yet again w this thread that you really don't have a gd grasp of what's happening on the court. you need to really understand how the players and their various abilities complement one another to know what you're seeing. then you can make an objective assessment.
there will be some more ups n downs, but make no mistake... THIS TEAM WILL BE GD.
and mda will get to take SOME credit, again.

some of you wonder why Dantoni isnt gone yet I think you have the New York Rangers to blame. considering how much money was lost in the lockout and the need to recoup from MSG renovations, the Knicks are a lousy product now and why changes havent been made yet because it will certainly effect ticket sales eventually but since the Rangers are the buzz of the town now and have the best record in the NHL maybe Dolan is letter the baby brother take a back seat first.
Nah it's the fact that Dolan doesn't want to pay D'antoni to not coach. He's paid way to many coaches to not coach and only got bad press for it. Even now Stephen A. Smith is saying it is the players not the coach (Stephen A is a dumbass clown though so that's not surprising).
If you look at it managements perspective the stars are already signed. Win or lose the Knicks don't get a pick anyhow. It'll be cheaper to run the season out and find the best coach available also it would be a lot less negative press concerning him. Especially if like you said the rangers do well. So unless the Knicks do horrible and lose a ton straight (post Baron) the knicks will be stuck with D'antoni.
Dolan's already paying D'Antoni to not coach now so what's the difference?
WHO'S SEEN ENOUGH?

LMAO
I want to ask what purpose was that list of posters for. I post more than most people for the past few years here. Show some acknowledgement.
I have been on the fire Mike D bandwagon for years now. I couldn't stand him after seeing him give excuses for losing the way we do.
His teams rarely play to their strengths. He is terrible. Get this clown out of here. I can't wait until the fire Mike D chants become so loud that the MSG announcers have to address it, expecially Mike D's but buddy Mike Breen. FIRE MIKE D and get this shmuck out of here.
Great thread red. Made me laugh my ass off.
I dont care if Mike D is a nice guy, I don't care. He sucks. X's and O's he has no idea what he is doing. He is clueless. And is not a leader.
We need to change this up now. We are wasting time with this guy.

Yo I'm reading your posts... you got me rolling!
This shit is torture right? When you think of all the mistakes made just by considering one European coach... mind boggling.
