After seeing a cohesive offense that looked like there was some semblance of a coach's influence I think I'm ready to give him until all star break. That was a different team out there tuesday night. Not a ton of 3s (only one i didnt agree with, wtf was melo thinking), 60% from the field, melo and stat combined for 9 assists, we got production out of atm and landry without any of them taking a lot of shots. This offense can function today as long as mda is running plays.

I agree it was nice to see but it was against the Pistons. We should still sack the dickhead though.

COACH D’ANTONI TO BE NIXED BY THE KNICKS
New York Knicks coach Mike D’Antoni (pictured) is a dead man walking. Sources say the team’s owner, Cablevision heir James Dolan, decided to fire D’Antoni last week after the Knicks lost to the mediocre Houston Rockets, their ninth loss in 10 games. “But Dolan wants the least coverage possible, so he’ll do it right before the Super Bowl,” one source told Flash. After expected back-to-back losses to Chicago and Boston, Dolan will pull the trigger the day before the biggest sports event of the year, and replace D’Antoni with Mike Woodson, a favorite of Dolan’s shadow consigliere, Isiah Thomas.
IDK, the source aka "Flash" (Gordon?) also comments on "Glee" romance & Matt Damon chomping on gum...
WTF? I guess rumors gotta start somewhere.
Guess I have to root for Knicks to lose a couple... gladly...
I don't know if replacing D'Antoni with Woodson is such a good idea. He's known of his unwatchable isolation offense. Obviously, both Anthony and Stoudemire would be well operating in his system, however from our perspective the Knicks will definately look boring. Of course, I stand for getting rid of D'Antoni as soon as possible, but only if we have a solid replacement. Woodson doesn't guarantee any form of solid and watchable offense and in this situation I'd prefer to let D'Antoni work his contract and hire a proven coach with some knowledge about offense. Besides, remember that Woodson had only two winning seasons with Atlanta, he won't be any improvement as the Knicks head coach.

I'm willing to take that chance.
