D'antoni resigns

EmpireMaker · 03-14-12, 05:20 PM

Melo is total garbage.

EmpireMaker · 03-14-12, 05:20 PM

Anthony is not a team player

stevenash · 03-14-12, 05:23 PM

Phil Jackson (who will be the coach next season) will not be the savior either.

This NYK team doesn't understand the term 'defense'

KingJD31 · 03-14-12, 05:40 PM

Regardless if this was the right move if knicks keep losing the fans will run melo out of here

zsr · 03-14-12, 05:41 PM

Phil Jackson will not go to new York. Why do you think he left LA? He knew they couldn't compete for championships anymore.

He's not an idiot, he knows how terrible the roster is.

sportsfanatic · 03-14-12, 05:42 PM

melo should do well tonight

There deep in name recognition but look how bad there playing.

Amare is no longer the old amare.
Melo playing terrible.
Baron shooting like 20 percent.
JR smith is just terrible.

Lin, shumpert, Tyson are quality players. Novak is a great sharp shooter too. Everyone else is really just getting by on name alone.

Lin isn't a quality player (yet)
He's a work in progress, there are many flaws there, such as turnovers, he can't handle back court pressure bringing the ball up.
He's got heart, he has the potential to become a quality player, but he's not one yet.

cmdyrds · 03-14-12, 05:57 PM

macnamara and warrick made that team and he won in denver what?

sorry forgot to reply with quote. anyway in response to a comment in the start of the thread.

True, will be interesting now that hes not in the d'antoni offense anymore.

you really are a fuking idiot.

how many titles did the bulls win when he took over?

how many titles did the lakers win when he took over?

how great were the lakers when he took over for the 2nd time, a season after being a lottery team?

Crusty My favorite quote from your is still "Palmer is a top 5 quarterback"

Anyway, no shit, you don't think he knew they were getting pau? Why else would he go there?

The bulls? Gee, no shit, because he got there right when Jordan started his career. Are you this stupid?

in the short term i expect the knicks to do well for the next few games. after that who knows...

The Kraken · 03-14-12, 06:35 PM

D'antoni is a huge part of the problem. His system is a losing system. About as much as Melo is a losing player. Those two things don't go well together. D'an never won in Phoenix with a better team. Not sure why him failing in NYC is a surprise.

Dark Horse · 03-14-12, 06:42 PM

Without D'Antoni Lin would never have made that breakthrough that got everybody so excited. But then Melo came back, and the Knicks started to go down again. No doubt that Melo is the problem, but D'Antoni made a similar sudden break with Phoenix, and regretted that later. I'd say emotion got the best of him, because the Knicks were on a roll just a month ago.

wait.... so you're saying phil knew the lakers were going to acquire pau, 3 years prior to it actually happening?

i doubt a dumbfuk like ur mom would even fall for that bs.

sportsfanatic · 03-14-12, 06:46 PM

this is melo's team now...

Clearly he only has 2 or so years coaching left, he's not going to a situation unless he can win.

LOL at you mentioning his first job 20 years ago with the bulls and comparing it to now

Crusty you make it too easy. How many times do you need to get buried by people on the forum before you stop being a troll? Keep trying, pal.

hels · 03-14-12, 11:40 PM

He resigned because management gave him the option.

Melo is a bum.

I read this article about Melo wanting to either be traded or D'Antoni gone earlier today when I was playing poker. About an hour after I did, someone said D'Antoni was gone. Whomever posted in here that this is Melo's team is right. You don't mess with CAA. I feel sorry for the guys who were playing with so much excitement and intensity when Melo was out. The players don't even look the same any more... they've gone from smiling and cheering every good play to just being duds again. I hope for the sake of Knicks fans that when the Melo era in NYC is over, they can say it was all worth it because right now it looks like a bust.

NYSportsGuy210 · 03-15-12, 12:26 AM

The right coach can get this going.....D'Antoni was all smoke and mirrors. Hear the guy talk live in-game and in the locker room all the time, he never bought anything creative or effective as far as X's and O's go to the team at all.

icewatta23 · 03-15-12, 10:10 PM

So is the New York Knicks job too high-profile for Mike Woodson? I mean he does bring a blue collar approach, which is something that is needed on that team. Is this his audition or is he the designated driver for the rest of the season?

seaborneq · 03-15-12, 11:06 PM

Dantoni only knows how to coach one way. The wrong way with the current knick roster.
