And Kiyaman continues on his Dantoni hating and Nate loving spree....
Too bad Dantoni is the reason for the Knicks improvement this year and Nate is one of the worst decision making guards in the game...Guy is on Crawful level...
Did you watch the Lakers vs Cavs game....and listen to what JVG and Mark Jackson had to say about the Knicks?
Being a life long Knick-Fan for over 40 years....it was not hard to see the Knicks had plenty of talented-players when Layden departed and when Isiah departed....but the team lack the discipline headcoach and coaching-staff to keep the Lockerroom from being divided for the last 5 seasons.
This is why owner Dolan and Mills personally hired coach Larry Brown to bring discipline to the Knicks divided lockerroom of players.
Coach Dantoni was given the privledge that only coach JVG was given....no other Knick coach after JVG had such priviledges not Chaney, not Wilkins, not Larry Brown, or Isiah whom had no discipline over his high contract players. They all refuse to pass the ball....Dantoni's system involves passing the ball....thats it.....Dantoni dont have a game plan or a winning playbook....he has been winning games on the strength of the Knick players creative talents by ridding the lockerroom of divided players.
So dont get it twisted.
Dantoni is a decent average offensive coach in the NBA....that needed a defensive coordinating coach in Phoenix....and after tonights game gets talked about by NBA commentators on ESPN, NBA TV, and TnT, if Dantoni dont get a good defensive coordinator on his coaching staff before 2010....super-stars looking for a Championship Ring will not be looking at signing with Dantoni's defenseless Knicks.
I would have accepted Mark Jackson, Rick Carlise, or JVG over Dantoni for Isiah's players....as long as Isiah Thomas is FIRED.
