We Collectively owe D'antoni an Apology

[Oakman88]

In regards to Mike D'Antoni.... For the fans who used him as a scapegoat all because Douglas/Shumpert couldn't run an offense, well, then, those same fans should be doing nothing but praising Mike D'Antoni for the performance of Jeremy Lin. His PG. When D'Anoni has a PG who can run the offense, he's by far... One of the best offensive coaches in the game today.

This Lin kid is the TRUTH!

Only thing I will say is that he cannot play Lin for that many mins. every game, and do not let Tony Douglas Sniff the court, let Bibby come in.

LOL at you for giving D'Antoni credit for Lin's performances. He is the same coach who had Lin rotting on the bench until now. All the kid is doing is all him and Shump/TD sucking big time. Add the fact that Davies keeps getting setbacks and that says it. D'antoni has nothing to do with Lin exploding. And i was perhaps Mike's fiercest supporter up to now. He has run his course.

[NYCLakerfan]

To me Line emergence doesn't excuse some of MDA's terrible decisions, I mean we all knew this team just needed a playmaking PG to play somewhat close to it's potential so we can still blame MDA for taking so long to give the kid a chance.

[Oakman88]

Lin is running his offense though. We are actually seeing what D'antonis offense looks like when its ran with a competent PG

[KBlack25]

Fans beg for MDA to do thing X.

MDA does thing X and it has good results.

Fans complain.

Welcome to KnicksOnline!

We are 20 games into the season.....Lin did not even start out with us....

Rotting on the bench ????

Yes maybe he should have played a few games earlier 2-3 at most BUT come on .........

I am sure if we got LIN and cut Jerome Jordan to make room instead of LIN everyone would be complaining of why we ketp a D leaguer.....


Be Happy Dantonio played him.....for whatever reason...

Must be Dantonios fault for Melo's right wrist, left wrist, thumb , hip and now groin......Maybe Melo should hit the gym a bit and condition rather then buying those silly fake glasses he wears.....

KNICKS ARE ALIVE AGAIN

[abcd]

I'll pass.

[Wargames]

Lol he said we owe D'antoni an apology because the PG he buried on the bench caught fire inspite D'antoni admitting he played him because "Why Not". Or lets forget the fact D'antoni still wanted TD to be the PG, or that Lin never had a rep with the starters.

Your trolling Brah.... Your trolling hard

LOL, wow, it's funny how all the antoni supporters come out now.Every one knows we needed a PG, but his(antoni) decision making in close games is horrible, he subs our best players, as soon as the other team goes on a run.He should be gone, just for the fact that he had a competent PG, under his nose the whole time, and refuse to even let him sniff the court.

Once the Knicks go on another losing streak you will see threads like these disappear.

[clumsy]

I've probably watched 120+ Knicks game in the D'Antoni era and We shouldn't be apologizing for anything. He's been given enough passes. I'm glad this chance move worked out however.

LOL, one win, and wow, they all come out huh.I'm pretty new here, i'll catch on.
