After seeing this new team live, it is incredibly obvious ... WE need A new Coach.

Some good points in this thread. JVG is not the coach we need. Like what was said, he burned bridges & don't forget, he QUIT on the Knicks. I don't what a quitter coaching this team. Also, he had Steve Francis, Yao Ming & T-Mac & still couldn't get out of the first round of the playoffs guys.

I like Jerry Sloan as a coach. He's old school & commands respect as a coach. He knows how to run the pick & roll & can TEACH team defense. He also holds players accountable when they aren't performing as they should. And if it weren't for a player that wore 23, he might've won a championship or two in his teams Western Conference Finals appearances.

Do you think that is what he is telling them to do? I have seen Mike D (again from games I have watched on TV) get after players on blown assignments

Look this loss really really sucks, but we will win a couple in a row and all will be forgotten.

Lets relax a little, we are far from a complete product, so this is what you are gonna get from time to time!

A player steps out of the way once in the first Q and you can blame it on a brain fart, lackluster effort, blown assignment, etc. If said player (or the team in general) is still stepping out of the way on drives to the rim late in the 3rd Q and early in the 4th Q, that's a testament to the lack of "coaching" going on.

I remember a Spurs game a few weeks ago where coach Pops was all up in Duncan's face in the first Q for his mistakes and Jefferson was in the background with a ":shock2:" look on his face....Duncan had one of his best games this season after that. I don't recall D'Antoni ever getting on STAT the way he does on Douglas or Walker.

When Phil Jackson comes out in the media and says that Kobe needs to take less shots, more shots, etc. Pau needs to step up, when Pops says that his guys played like dogs, everyone sees it and then sees the results...and then when STAT has a triple double with 10 turnovers and D'Antoni has nothing to say it's ":shrug: we're gelling." Excuse me but **** that. The Celtics gelled their way to a title; and when Pau got to the Lakers in 2008 they gelled straight to the Finals and lost to another "gelling" team. We got STAT & Melo and we look straight lost on both sides of the ball at times.

No.

Dantoni or Damnphony has been coaching this way in MSG since the start of the 2008-9 season. This is why every season I keep believing he will be Fired at the end of the season.

When the 3-balls are hitting Damnphony gets a win, when the 3-balls are missing Dantoni gets a loss.
Nothing improve on Dantoni's coaching method in the past 3 seasons...

BECAUSE MIKE DANTONI DOESNT emphasize that we cant win unless they stop.

I am sorry but defense is established by the mind set of the coach, to hold his players accountable at all costs regardless of there status as a star or bench warmer, these are terrible habits developed over years of practicing a system that thinks about flinging the ball up the court for an easy basket, before thinking about staying in front of your man. Its basketball at its worst and starts with the coach who either allows it or establishes it.

and how do you play half court with out a center.

you dont need a low post presence center to run a half court offense

the bulls had similar low post options in jordan and pippen to amare and melo

not saying melo and amare are jordan and pippen, just in terms of there games both can post up well for not being 7 footers.

the bulls ran the triangle offense with will purdue, bill wennington, cartwright and luc longley and won titles.

whyyyy because they playeeeedddd defense.

how were the the sonics able to go to the finals because they played defense and shawn kemp was no different than amare stoudemire in his prime in terms of his style of play, they didnt have a legit center on that team either. they had sam perkins who would shoot threes all day.

Oakley as the defensive coach

Tmac and Yao Ming were always injured and JVG still got them a great record, i dnt think Yao Ming and Tmac ever played together in the playoffs because when one of them wasn't injured the other one was.

This team has a short window as far as 2 prime stars at the top of their game. We don't have time to gamble on a rookie coach to get things right. We need a proven coach that teaches a balance of offense & defense & can hold players accountable when the effort isn't there.

Career .510 no finals appearances. He has a better win % than both VanGundy and Sloan. 4 full years in Phoenix 4 playoff appearances. While his record is still a work in progress, my point is he is just as capable as any other coach and with the right team, has just as much as a chance as almost any other coach in the league.

He has a .485 playoff winning percentage and never won, lost twice!!!! He is also like a 100 years old and is notorious for butting heads with his stars though out the years.

Brown:
I won't even bother since this ENTIRE forum screamed daily to get rid of him when he was here and I can't believe I am seeing his name.I mean people screamed on how you can't win on D alone, you need to score... People chanted for Isiah... UN REAL!!!!!

Career .510 no finals appearances. He has a better win % than both VanGundy and Sloan. 4 full years in Phoenix 4 playoff appearances. While his record is still a work in progress, my point is he is just as capable as any other coach and with the right team, has just as much as a chance as almost any other coach in the league.

Dantoni or Damnphony has been coaching this way in MSG since the start of the 2008-9 season. This is why every season I keep believing he will be Fired at the end of the season.

When the 3-balls are hitting Damnphony gets a win, when the 3-balls are missing Dantoni gets a loss.
Nothing improve on Dantoni's coaching method in the past 3 seasons...

Wait, he inherited the same roster Isiah had the prior years and couldn't do any better and you want to say it was D'Antoni's fault? He had the worst combination of players in the history of the NBA and you want to fault him??? For 3 years the ONLY goal was to dump salary so he had NO players and you want to blame him? He was playing .500 ball this year until he BLEW UP the roster to bring in Melo and Billups so now this team needs time to play together and get to know each other and you want to blame him???

I'm flabbergasted!!!! What the hell has this man had to work with until NOW and this is STILL a work in progress! AND, they will change the roster AGAIN this off season when they try to bring in a big man and 1 or 2 bench players... Let them finish building the roster, get a season under their belt with the new roster and then you can cry if they stink up the joint.
