I give Woody big-props for showing consistent winning B.ball to a confuse Knicks organization .. Knicks-Fans we have to be proud of Woody for doing something we havnt seen since having coach Pat Riley in MSG.
I havnt watch the Mike Woodson show on MSG channel, because the Mike Dantoni propaganda show turned my stomach to listen to a man without a plan.
I will check the Woody show after reading this thread.
Mike Woodson is a decent coach that need to man-up and start man-handling the so-call star players that were put on this roster ....
1) PG-Felton is a chucker PG that dont Gell with any of his teammates, and when faced with an oposition who have a decent PG & Center Felton is useless.
Evaluation after the first 25 games Felton earned 24 minutes of playingtime the rest of the season till he become more consistent at getting more than two teammates points, plus learn how to run a fastbreak, and put more effort on defending oposition PG.
2) SG-JR.Smith are an inconsistent chucker who need to move without the ball and learn to catch a pass while in movement, and start taking the ball inside the paint to score more than once a game, get to the free throw line more than one time every two games, run out infront of a fastbreak for a lob pass, plus learn to stay in front of oponents on defense, and switch quickly on a pick n roll.
Evaluation after the first 25 games JR minutes need to decrease to 24 minutes of playingtime too.
3) SF-Novak is a peremeter shooter who should only be put on the court at spurts with teammates who will provide Novak with double picks and double screens for open 3s.
Evaluation after 25 games Novak non-movement on offense does not get any of his defender tired or aghausted so Novak minutes should be decrease to 12 minutes of playingtime till he learn to be that 2nd screen or pick for teammates then keep it moving without the ball on offense.
4) SF-Rookie Copeland should get early minutes off the bench in the first-half in lineups with two other bigmen prefer Tyson & Kurt, or Kurt & Rasheed, or even Tyson & Melo .. Copeland is a future depth product that need playingtime with all our bigmen "Old-Heads" to prepare him for his original position at PF.
Evaluation after 25 games of mostly DNP, Copeland deserve consistent playingtime to gain confidence in self and teammates .. 24 minutes per game.
