Here is a question for everyone. With the 3 game streak we have just won, the apparent team chemistry and the emergence of J Lin. Would everyone still take the chance and fire Dantoni and effectively promote Mike Woodson as the head coach? Or would you ride out this season than fire after?
Another question is, if we make the playoffs do you fire Dantoni? Or extend him for a year, giving him a full training camp with the Knicks.
since this team is owned by an idiot, his moves will be dictated by asses in the seats, merchandise sales,
etc. hence, if coach Macaroni takes the Knicks to the playoffs, I think his contract will be extended.
remember D'oh-lan extended Zeke's contract after a brief winning streak a few years ago (followed by disaster)
Also, the genius of putting Lintastic in the lin-up has filled the yellow section of the garden (jk),
so, aside from making the team better, Lintoni has filled a marketing need as well.
at this point you can't even consider firing a winning coach with the emergence of the
33 chambers of Shaolin, and the impending return of 2 1/2 superstars into the mix.
these Fire D'Antoni threads just have to stop, at least for awhile. I absolutely hate the guy,
but each and every new thread is a waste of space, filled with boring repetition.
can't we just agree to enjoy the Knicks resurgence, take it as it comes, and watch Macaroni
ride Lin like a pony into the ground... or not?
