Yea he blames his All-star players for not hitting shots. It's been almost 20 games and they've been "off" the entire time? Give me a break Dumbtoni!
Did he ever think that maybe his system involves running the same BASIC play over and over resulting in a predictable offense with terrible spacing and no open shots? These guys are all in the NBA because they call ball, is it a coincidence that they just shoot bad under D'Antoni?
Mike D needs a steve Nash PG with legit sharp shooters everywhere to be effective or else his system fails.
If we aren't hitting our 3 point shots we always become stagnant and look lost. It's SIMPLE! You attack the rim, run pick and rolls and if guys are missing open shots like Douglas, Melo, whoever then you bring in other players quickly.
Mike D will keep in a lineup that hasn't scored for 5 minutes straight and wonders why he loses games.
You have to change the lineup when the offense is going no where. Put in anyone. I know Jeremy Lin could have played better as a pure PG than Douglas or Shumpert tonight, they were terrible and telegraphed every pass.
Novak was 3-3 from 3point land against Charlotte, why not put him in?
I dont care if his defense isn't good, we have Tyson Chandler behind him! Put in Novak and get some frigin offense!
It's like Mike D does stuff only until it gets so bad that it's too late and the fans were chanting to do certain things weeks or months before he even thought about it.
That is a bad coach.
He doesn't know his players.
