Is Mike Dantoni the worst coach of defense ever?

[HoulihansTX]

Knicks gave up an avg of 46 points in the paint in 2010

Now w/Chandler, they allow 46 points in the paint thus far in 2011

No adjustment, no change, same sorry scheme/effort on defense.


Fire this bum. One deminsional Head Coaches rarely if ever win long term. Steve Nash made this guy rich.

Yup... no one on the team is defensive minded bad move by chandler to go there... bibby no d.. davis no d.. amare no d... melo no d.... can't have one guy play half ass d and expect to win... lakers gonna score 120 on em tonight

I would say yes but NY only has two players capable of playing quality defense consistantly. D'antoni will be gone after this year ...... but how will it get any better next year? Coaching is part of it but they have a very unique mix of underachievers in Amare, Melo, and Chandler... and i expect chandler or amare to come up lame in the very near future. I would bet money on it.

as a knick fan i would love nothing more for this bum to be fired

He literally does not care whether or not his team tries on defense and his best players are all offense first so unless someone (hopefully Chandler? but honestly prob not) can motivate these guys to play D then nothings gonna change cause the coach does not give 2 shits

I liked him in Phoenix where Defense wasn't needed.. just this short Canadian kid pushing the ball ...

[testertips]

overrated coach overall.

The Phil Jackson rumors will be swirling. The Knicks have a shit coach, shit players, and when Mike Bibby,Ronaldo Balkman,Bill Walker, and Josh Harrelson are recieving quality minutes you are fuc$ed!!
Josh Harrelson wasn't even good enough to get this many minutes at Kentucky until his Senior year and he wouldn't have gotten them if Enes Kantor had not been ruled inelgible.


I laugh my ass off everytime people talk about the Knicks as contenders It's about as funny as all those that think Notre Dame has a big time college football program. Notre Dame starts off this season 0-2 and the damn media is talking about their BCS Bowl Hopes... Are you shitting me? No wonder I win.

Bryant looks as good as ever
