I think this always... I think it is funny how people have no optimism, that the team could be better... There is so much negativity, when it reality they proved it can work...
Listen if Felton doesn't like what this team is doing then all he has to do is say "Trade Me" but he loves New York and doesn't want to go anywhere... Same goes with Novak and Shumpert...
Shumpert isn't complaining b/c his game was elevated to a new level this season, especially after his horrific injury... He was able to be more effective both offensively and defensively...
As for Novak, an one dimensional player that can only shoot if he is open b/c he has no ball skills to create his own shot...
Chandler, Sheed, Thomas, J.R. and Camby are all banged up and how do you want them to run any other particular style of offense... They had to run ISO plays for those who could do something with it... Just look how Kidd ran out of gas in the playoffs... So much for aged Veterans that need crutches to walk up and down the court...
Carmelo Anthony isn't the same player as he was in Denver, he might not be like most veteran players but he knows what he needs to help this team succeed... When he is the only player on the court scoring then during those moments it becomes all about him... He basically said without saying it that we need another scorer... Imo, he was talking someone other than J.R. and himself... Can't count on Felton or Shumpert consistently until they prove themselves... Then there is no production from T.C. when he is on the court... With Stat its like a switch sometimes its on but most of the time its off...
None of the players have to like Woodson, all they have to do is respect him as a coach... If he puts them in the right position to win, then he is doing his job... Like the players, Woodson is just another commodity owned/hired/paid by the Knicks organization... If he doesn't do his part then he will be out the door quickly... If those players you mentioned don't like him they can stand up and say something...
Just remember this team won 54 games this season, for them and how they got there must of not been as bad as you are making it out to be... Getting some younger, athletic players with good ideals and support will go along way to improving what this team did this season... Continue to sign aging veterans, will have the same ending next year as was this year... During the season all pop, in the playoffs all flat...
