He's getting a rich paycheck $$$ for showing the real kind of coach he can be.
Sure Mike dont have all the pieces yet but if you are a Nba player whom would want to
come here in 2010 ? and play for NY and D'Antoni.

He seems to be into himself more than into the Team concepts he's teaching.

Don't be suprised if see Patrick Ewing next season as the Knicks Coach.

Pretty sweet fan base we have here.

Should we replace him with Flip Saunders? He seems to be doing well with much better talent.

No ... NOPE Nope nope you're missing the point JWallace44
Of course it would be totally absurd to fire a coach whom gets this Knick Team
our team to 9 wins and some good basketball in Decemeber. My Post isnt at all
about firing the coach

All I am saying is you go out of your way to make example of Nate not being in
rotation. Its fine if he cant be the 6-7 guys off the bench.

However if guys aren't good some nights or making foolish plays you cant reward
players for that with fans watching.

I can see not playing the young Robinson 2 -5 games even 1 week.
But to exile Nate for nearly 1 month ? is absurd even if he played only 5 min total for 1 game or quarter.

But listen up Knicks arent good enough yet in their judgement plays. Duhon is gonna stink when he stinks. Chandler and Danillo fails to go to basket when their city brick jumpers aint working. How come Mike D' teams always got to shoot
3's to win games ? What the heck do Knick fans thing about Alton Harrington ? He sure aint no genius when it comes to
using his brain or making shots consistently with his play.

If you watch and Listen to D'Antoni you'd think 1/2 the current Knick squad got 4 yr bachelor or master degrees in
their basketball judgement. Donni Walsh sits and watches.

Knicks brough in J.Bender whom I like a D.Walsh move. But after 1-3 fair games Bender has been a dud
whom gets playing time. You want to tell me this Coach D'Antoni is doing all he can to win games ?

You need to adjust and change flow of game. D'Antoni made remark he'd rather play satan
than Nate well as Knicks fans you shouldnt like that regardless if you like nate or not.

Coach is doing same thing as done in Marbury incident and I couldnt stand Stephon.
Nate isnt here long enough to be a Marbury. Nate needs to be developed or traded
not rotted and embarrassed. When guys arent playing right and if knicks are out of
games late why don't D'Antoni try to develop Jordan Hill whom had few nba showings recently
in November. Now he rots on the bench when Knicks lose to likes of Bobcats and Nets in games
they run out of gas or look disinterested.

I'm sure Nate is practicing and ready to go if his number is ever called in a game.
(I doubt it, Donnie Walsh will trade him).

It goes back to Knicks and their ways of dealing with players. Not everyone is a cancer like
Stephon. Latrell Sprewell was exiled cause the stupid owner JJ Dolan didnt like him.
Knicks go on like the 2 champion titles they won the other day and NYK havent dont squat in
over 30 yrs for titles. We got no draft picks in 2010.

You want to attack F/Agent players in 2010 ? 2011 ?
You dont dis' players like you do here, Marbury got what he deserved somewhat. Nate doesnt
deserve this.

Why do you think ? guys like Dwayne Wade and other stars laugh and stab the Knicks as not a matter
of importance in Free Agency. Knicks got $$$ and big names may not come here. Nate is immature and
needs to be developed. Nate is also popular in nba among peers and Robinson will never be a star/allstar.

Watch next season if all this Knicks business works in their favor when they try to sign players.

You put the longest guys out there, you tell them to switch all they want because you know they can't get over screens. They can't run the 7SoL offense, so you say fine, walk it up, even though that makes Chandler much less of an impact player.

What do you want from this dude? Coaches around the league thought that last year's Knicks was the best coaching job that MikeD's ever done. If they make the playoffs this year... I guess you guys will still complain huh?

I'm gonna go out on a limb and say the same dudes that are killing MikeD are the ones who love to sniff Gallo's jock all the time. Where's he been the last three games? Is that Mike's fault that he's had his head in Italy for the past week?

This team is put together with duct-tape and scraps of paper right now, and you guys want to shake it up a bit just for the hell of it... nonsense.

My kingdom for a lead guard

To me this was part of that infection that is so hard to get rid of. They won a big game the night before and played nearly flawless. They rested on their laurels and came out flat during a game where they really needed to turn up the heat and put their foot on someone's throat.

Harrington played 24 minutes and should have been fresh
Jeffries was in foul trouble and only played 23

Outside of D.Lee all the guys played between 34 and 38 minutes. D.Lee played 42 minutes and came back and played well again last night. He didn't use the tired excuse. Other teams have guys that play those minutes and come back on the 2nd of back to back and play well. We don't. We still use the tired excuse. We came out flat. Not tired. We thought it would be an easy game and the infection stuck us in the asse again

D Lee got tired down the stretch, even Clyde noticed it... Gallo had no legs & his shot was way off... Al was the only one providing much offense in the stretch run of the 4th quarter.
