A mission indeed, the prime objective is to win. It?s not a good look when the commander in chief sends his elite seal team in with no tactical plan? the results will most likely be a bunch of ragtags wasting a few of our good men?all because of the leaders arrogance and inability to plan for battle.
I understand where you?re coming from; however, imo the analogy of fireman Mike is a bit off. A more accurate one would probably sound something like this?
?D?Antoni goes into burning building to find kids, he finds them and tells them ?go, go, go?, Kids run around burning building confused and tired?eventually discovering the exit after moments of close calls, trial and error. Upon departure, the kids find D?Antonio outside (arms folded) waiting to say ?you see, if you move your ass you will find a way?.
*Soon the moronic media shows up and starts to give D?Ant credit for saving their lives*
You see?D?ant saved nothing, but we all know players have routinely saved him?.even the ones he left rotten on the bench. My dislike for him has always been explained thoroughly. I?ve hardly seen anything positive about his coaching on these boards?just excuses and those excuses always fall on the players. Why do people like him? People point out his flaws all the time, but I haven?t seen anyone point out his strengths?I don't think my vision is that blurry. Why should we keep giving him a chance when he hasn't proven to be anything special in the NBA. His track record as a player and coach in this league is raggedy. You can't mention his brief success (as a coach) without mentioning a/particular players. Great coaches win by using what they have to their best ability...is our coach actually doing that? NO. He's a stubborn failing fruad who's getting exposed night in and night out.
To be clear, I want nothing more than success for the Knicks. If he adapts then I will support him, until that happens I want him out so someone else can get a shot with this team. We already know what D'Ant can and can't do.
