Enough of with the the refs rigged the game bullshit. Take your blue and orange glasses off for a second and look at Shumpert scream in Garnetts face. It should have been a technical, and it was.
D'Antoni is horrible. End of case.

I always wondered about how often NBA coaches do commit the foul when up by 3. I don't see it done very often probably because coaches are aware of the stats slightly favoring not fouling and because the 3 is mostly a low percentage shot. That said, I would still like to have seen the Knicks risk an AND 1 instead of going into OT in the Boston arena.

You should look up the word blame then make the distinction between that and excuse.
To intimate a conspiracy as an excuse is about as weak as you can get. Coming from you, I'm surprised.
Rondo getting more rebounds than our front-court bigs is unacceptable. Explainable when considering the consequenses of coaching decisions, yet still unacceptable.
There are no excuses. Sorry he's run out of them. And attempting to explain his decisions based on statisticians observances is like asking a guy to crash his car to prove he has more of a chance dying in a car than a plane crash.
Yeah, it was the refs. LMAO
Shit is weak and desperate. And bringing up Isaiah... wow, save it.
Dantonio is correct..............when you look at it statistically he made the right call.....BUT this is the same issue we have with Dantonio on everything........
Statistically and on paper he is correct................But those statistics on based on all NBA teams and players............
Now throw Pierce and Allen into the mix and those statistics I am sure change..
Maybe some will debate but if I had to pick the Top 3 players in the league to hit a clutch 3 it would be Pierce, Allen and Durant.....AND yes all # have beaten us this way!!!
so again its Dantonio basing this on Stats.....And Jeffries should have been on Pierce ....

Great post! The stats Antoni mentioned include mostly non clutch players, so in that way its skewed. Point is, if you're playing a team like DET or CHA or any other team void of great 3pt shooters, you might decide to play it out. On the other hand, if you have clutch shooters like PP and RA on the floor then your have to strongly consider fouling.
Jeffries absolutely should of been on the floor guarding Pierce (at the very least for length) but for some odd reason Antoni preferred to have Amare in there doing nothing.

Sending Lin to the D League was a great move, but to not give D'Antoni credit for giving Lin a big role on this team is just straight hating. I pat you on the back, hater...you may continue with the hating.
D'Antoni isn't a BAD coach, nor a GREAT coach, personally I don't like Mike D'Antoni because of what he did to my boy Stephon. But you guys need to read what you're texting...sadly this is just the new trend amongst Knick fans who can't make sense all of this. Be complex with the mind...work in different angles.
I've watched that clip several times, and I still think it was an absurd call. Shumpert screamed afterwards, like players routinely do after dunks. Garnett just happened to be there. Shump did not go out of his way to direct his scream at Garnett.

And..why was that a great move, when he was here, and could have helped us all season, but C'ANToni couldn't see that.Hey man, you can call me what you what, that's your opinion, but you can't argue facts, Lin was here, the whole time, and C'ANToni though he belonged in the D-League, until he saved his a**.So, stop it.

Coach Macaroni Plays The Percentages
the fact that Coach Macaroni chooses not to foul because statistics since 1995 show that teams
who do NOT foul win 93% of games vs teams who DO foul win 90% of games exposes him for
being a jackass coach. every game is a different animal unto itself and must be played accordingly.
depending on who you're playing, what has happened in the game, who is hot and who is not,
game momentum etc. He chooses the 3% better statistic to dictate ALL his coaching decisions. D'umb!
this same headset is the basis for his 7 seconds or less offensive genius, which iSayUghh has defended
incessantly, and to a degree, I agree with, but then again, depending on who is running your team (PG),
and what players makeup your team, does not always work, AS WE HAVE SEEN FOR THE PAST 4 YEARS!
This loss is one of the worst since last year's playoff loss to the 'dicks, when pretty much the
exact same thing happened with Pierceclit hitting the 3, or when Durant hit the 3 last year.
I believe this is an inherent coaching fault, relying on statistics instead of coaching with your head
AND heart. but I don't think Antoni has a heart, or a defense-oriented gameplan, for that matter.

Stop crying.
Lin had no confidence in his game.
Lin built his confidence in the NBDL.
He flourished under the D'Antoni system as we witnessed.
Lin is a guy who plays on either confidence or fear. Against defensive squads like the Heat and Celtics, he tends to fold and play with no confidence.
D'Antoni open up Lin and gave him a chance. You can't take that away. Ever.
and just because a guy goes to the D League doesn't mean he belongs there. Theres other reasons and purpose to use the Development League.
Jose Juan Barea was sent to the DLeague and he came back to Dallas to help them win a championship. It was a GREAT move to develop a players morale.
Confidence is big factor in Lin's game.

Crying about what?All i asked was why was it a good move to send him to the d-league, if you don't want to have an adult convo, it's ok, but you don't have to try insult people.
Where the Accountablity on lack of focus on the team?
This is key reason why this team be down n losing to good teams and struggle against bad teams..Mel running his mouth n throw a no look inbound pass to Amare = Turnover...Coach doesn't scream at Melo or anything..I would bench him 2nd half to send a focus message...PS Baron Davis use the Team foul to give at the end of 1st Quarter. (MESSAGE) LOL
