The Chicago game is the only one that's winnable, honestly.

Crazy rumor. Makes no sense. You don't fire him after losing 9 of 10 too horrible teams and fire him after losing to the Bulls & Celtics?

he meant to fire D'Antoni last week after the Houston loss when the team had lost 9 of their last 10, but decided to hold off until the Super Bowl so that way it could draw less attention

If this is the case--just do it now. There is no stability--it gives players an excuse to play at weaker levels. I think we should beat Chicago--they played last night and have injury problems. If we lose----I would end it.

only way I see him getting fired now is if the Zen Master already gave Dolan his word otherwise they will give MDA the rest of the year

The article states "after expected back to back losses to Chicago & Boston" I mean really how much more not credible can you be than with that statement

Can't see Dolan firing D'Antoni without Baron playing yet and also after Melo already gave coach his vote of confidence.

Good to know there are as many MDA haters out there commenting on other obscure sites as there are in here.

Although I will say when players show vocal support for the coach(as melo and co did) its usually because they know he is on a short leash

the link said the information was acquired from an anonymous source close to Dolan.

many of us felt D'Antoni should have been fired within the last few weeks. it is a rather tactful coup to make such a move with the SuperBowl getting full press. These two games aren't just any games, they are both nationally televised and with Nuggets games right after them, so if we get embarrassed in both (which was expected at the time of the article judging by our play in the prior weeks), there would be greater motivation to make the move just to make a move. I'm not sure if I'm ready to completely dismiss it due to the obscurity of the website.

Maybe thats why Baron suddenly stopped practicing cos he was told to hold off until the new coach takes over. Then insert Baron and start winning games!

NAH, it would be easier to just fire him, lame duck Woodson. Hey Phil is awesome but, there are coaches out there that will force their way out of their contracts is necessary for the props of turning this team around.

These guys need a coach that come in on some THIS IS SPARTA shyte and whip then into the semblance of a winning team.

the fact that you can't even have an unrelated thread without some tool here bringing him up make me think that rational minds are few and far between. Bunch of emotionally weak, angst riddled people. I mean, how many times can you argue the same shyt

And IT gets cudo's for:
1) Hiring Woodson
2) the Baron signing
3) The Melo signing (with a belated apology from Dolan for saying he didn't)
4) The Stat signing (building on past accomplishments to dispel the past debacles)
5) the increase in the DJ Industrial index
6) picking of the current yoots
7) knowing that Eddy Curry was not going to be able to play in the Miami loss
8) Global warming not coming true
9) Obama not having anyone to run against

You know, maybe it is the sooner the better because then people will realize it really is the roster and how it's constructed.

Who ever the coach is im just looking forward to winning games again where the offense isn't clicking, shots aren't going down but the Knicks still find a way to GUT out a win. IT's been a Lonnnng time. The talent is finally there to accomplish that again. No more inconsistent play. Win when the shots(2's & 3's) fall lose when they don't.

I dont believe it because you have the FA from China becoming available unless Dolan thinks nobody wants to play with MDA and having coaching insecurity wont discourage them (although you can argue its already insecure).

I guess nothing would surprise me at this point.
