I thought Dolan doesn't like to fire in-season.

He should have been fired after 09-10. If I read tomorrow that he gives these guys the next couple of days off I will be pissed. I agree with Clyde. These guys need practice. If its not the coach, but rather the players who don't get it as some suggest, the team needs to work on getting it.

actually criticizing MDA on the knicks post game tonight. Playing that crap lineup that allowed Houston to break the game open. Saying he is desperate etc. Maybe they got word he is fired after tonight.

D'Antoni knew he would have no PG yet he never implemented a motion offense to help us out. I never liked this guy because he never preached defense, didn't substitute right, benched impact players (Nate Robinson) and fell in love with bad ones (Chris Duhon). NYK management is gonna see how the team does when Baron Davis comes back. If we continue to lose he'll be fire we have a more than capable assistant in Mike Woodson.

The knicks game plan is dead....waiting for Amare to make a corner jumper.....having Balkman in the corner shooting threes (he made one, lol)....benching Lin all this time. Not having the ability to work the offense with the players he has....

I mean "if he had a point guard"....Tripuka just said it....they don't know who they are playing with. Thats the coach. Where is the game plan? How are you preparing the team?

It's run the system or die?

Fire the coach or sign Kelly Tripuka.

MDA should have been relieved of his position last week. It's getting beyond ridiculous.

The team seems to have forgotten how to get a win, and this offensive genius of a coach can't get his players to hit shots? If the team isn't responding to him, then it's time for them to respond to someone else.

D'Antoni:

The Players:

The Fans:

The Standings:

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Yeah that generally doesn't happen. My stream ended but Hahn tweeted this.

That was a bizarre quarter. Weird lineup, only 14 points and no timeout during a game-crushing run by Rockets.

That has always been a concern for those that have been critical of this coach. When you say that other teams have to adjust to you and your peers say that you won't be aware of wrinkles they have put into their offense because you don't use advance scouting there is something wrong in my opinion. Last year was the first year the Knicks used advance scouting. Players are now given a folder of tendencies their opponents have.

D'antoni never calls a time out...he's waiting for Nash to save him.

Emptying the bench was pretty much a white flag.

This team sucks.

What's the point of firing him? You think that's changing anything?

When he called Lin out in the 3rd quarter, I was like he's done.

BTW...Lin should seriously play earlier in the next game.

I agree. Would rather see Lin driving to the rim than TD, or Bibby.

What's the point of firing this guy. You turn the roster over on him every year and you trade away a solid young team and destroy all value in your remaining starters for a guy that's not a leader.

Look at what he has to work with: fields, Douglas, balkman, link, Novak, Jordan, walker, bibby.

Great work by the front office. Bibby has sucked for three years why is he taking up a roster spot?

The Nets actually have the same record as we do without brook Lopez. I'm at my wits end with this organization. At what point do you cheer for someone else? Why show loyalty to a team and and owner that basically says go **** yourself every season.

Try coaching with a center that doesn't score, a shooting guard that can't shoot, I point guard that doesn't know how to pass, a sf that insists on running isolations and a of.that can't defend or rebound. Fellas that's what we are working with...

Any other coach would have been fired by now
