Being that the season has yet to start, i do believe you are being a bit ill advised. Who knows who's going to be the primary six manoff the knicks bench,who knows if Randolph will even be with the team once it starts. Given the fact that Francis and Marbury were on the team at the begining of the year, Zeke would have done a dis-service tothe knicks to not at least see how the two would play together after a training camp together. Once it was obvious the two weren't compatible, Crawford came in. A real stupid coach would have left the tandem of marbury and francis play together no matter what. Now listen, I am not saying Zeke isa superior coach, far from it. I believe zeke would have done good if he would have hired an offensive guru as one of his assistance. The thing about the Knicks assistants, none are really good at providing great offensive or defensive looks. If you want to blame Zeke in regards to that, so be it, I will agree with you on that. But no matter how good a coach is, his assistants need to be able to bring something to the floor. Isiah messed up in that respect by having friends and former assistants stay on when he became coach.Did'nt Dallas have the BEST WINNING season in the NBA this season.
Did'nt Golden State make a four player trade before the trading deadline and sign Dallas old coach Nelson.
Sports Writers all over is only counting the Knicks out of the Playoffs because KG is in their division now, and the Knicks Starting lineup of Zack & Curry is a BIG Joke just like the Marbury & Francis starting lineup when you had a better suitor in Crawford. David Lee is a 100 times better suitor with curry than Zack. and Balkman is the 6th Man off the bench and a 100 times better than Max MLE Jared Jefferies.
Dum Coaching is what Sports Writers is expecting from Zeke, that is why they count the Knicks out of the playoffs.
I remember when Austin Croshere got that big contract and Zeke put cheap contract Jermain O'Neal and rookie Miller ahead of him on the Pacers roster. That was when Zeke knew how to coach. Now Zeke ranks the stupidest coach in the NBA...
The knicks will make the playoffs. Even if they are fool enough to keep Zach Randolph. Will they win a championship next season, 99.7 percent the answer is NO! but they will take a step closer in their pursuit. Like Marbury said, the Knicks do have some chemistry now, after a year playing together. Let's see where that takes us.
