The Big Apple Media is finally blasting Mike Woodson and Raymond Felton .. are the media 3 months late?
Especially after the poor preseason games, and the clueless coaching throughout the Indiana Pacers series.

When Mike Woodson took over the Knicks headcoaching job, the Knicks lockerroom players were divided into 3 parts ..
ISO-Melo vs Stat .. while a D.League LinSanity gain teammate followers by playing-hard to get a full contract for the next season.
Rather than Woodson combining the 3 divided parts in the lockerroom into one same-page unit, Woodson chose to become a PUPPET to one of three divided parts (ISO-Melo).

Before Amare Stoudemire became a Knicks, Amare average 24 points on above 51% shooting in 46 postseason games in 4 years.
When Amare exploded after the 2nd loss in the Heats series (2011-12) for a total of 16 shot attempts in two games .. do u really think Amare's punch was aimed at the fire-extinguisher? When Woodson allowed Melo 41 shots and JR 28 shots in the two games?

Could u really blame Lin Sanity for not wanting to be apart of a divided-Knicks team in the postseason games???
Rookie Iman Shumpert tore his ACL bringing the ball upcourt to a score of 56-31 (Heat had a 25 pt lead on us).
Shump played a total of 19 minutes in our 5 game series vs Heat, and Shump wish today he didnt play one minute of those 19 minutes of embarrassing Knicks B.ball

Felton is a "Pick n Roll" PG that need two teammates to set decent screens n picks for him to get dimes n score.
Why our coaching staff are so clueless of Felton's only offensive talents?
Our coaching-staff are also clueless on how to position our frontline bigmen to score in the paint, plus our coaching-staff are clueless on how to position our bigmen on defending the paint when SF and guards have a habit of dribbling past Melo/JR/and Felton to score inside the paint.
What do u think everytime u see 7.1 Tyson Chandler defending on the perimeter, while oponent move the ball to score inside???

the big apple media are smart basketball people, like most Knicks fans, but unlike the fans, the media have to walk a fine line between calling out the coach/players and mentioning ANYTHING about James "little jimmy with the silver spoon" Dolan. the way this entire organization is run stems from the owner's ignorance of business sense, and his butting in to every essence of the coaching and player personnel.

Linsanity had everything to do with the way the front office (and Woodson) chose to deal with the signing, or not deal with it
. He went for the money and opportunity, not because of NYK team dysfunction, but because Dolan and co. sat around waiting for his decision, telling the media Lin would be starting PG, and not being pro-active. IMHO.

i have no defense for Woodson going with Felton the way he has, not having more plays other than iso-Melo, and trusting those 2 to run the team for 90% of the time. At this point, the New York media can no longer be silent when the team most noted for their defense loses games based on poor defense, lack of adjustments, poor switching, and general density from a proper head coach.

Dolan "meeting with" Melo is more of the same BS jungle fever stupidity we've come to know and hate from the Knicks owner, every loss brings Wood Son closer to his coaching demise.
