I'm not bashing him cause of the lost (then again..yes i am) but I recall watching the hawks in the playoffs, never making adjustments..or just not enough.

He was guilty of riding ISO's to death..PPL wanted to give him the extension as soon as the season was done..And I kept saying, lets see what he does in the playoffs where's been an utter failure.

This maybe the one MOVE where I agreed with DOLAN

Touche!

Let's see how the team plays in NY. If they get swept, PJAX PJAX PJAX PJAX

but what if he won't come? Calippari? Eeeeesh!!

losing shump makes beating the heat even one time a talllll order.

and, yes, the refs are gonna make darn sure the heat get as close to the finals as possible.

No having Shumpert is really hurting our perimeter defense.

I don't think anything hurt our defense more than having Amare back.

also, playing the heat hurt the defense.

amar'e didn't play when the knicks lost to the heat at the garden a few sundays back. heat are just a better team and a tough matchup for this knicks squad. they have the best player in the league in lebron and wade is still great and bosh is good and they defend really well.

you maybe right, but you have to something different and i thought leaving TD (cant' believe im saying this) and Jorts on the bench..the heat are scrambling like crazy getting out on novak after the double..

We played just as BAD with shump in the line up, so there's no big lost with him out

Obviously if Jax wants the job he gets it but I don't mind bringing Woodson back with a full training camp and Amare off the team so we can go ack to playing team defense. No way they bring in Calipari that would just be stupid!

I do think that if they stick with it, they'll get better and perhaps at home our role players will play with renewed energy. They've got to be more disciplined with moving and sharing the ball. It still sticks with certain players like JR, Baron and Melo and they handle the ball a lot.

The Heat are just doing what they usually do, but the KNicks haven't been playing like they did today every game. We've now vacillated between heavy ISO ball in game one to now trying to play Team Ball in game two and they didn't really execute on a high level. I blame that on Woody not having them consistently playing more team oriented over the last month. You can't just turn it on in the playoffs and expect perfection.

it's the same bull sht he did aginst the celts when he coached..ISO Joe, ISO Crawford, ISO Josh Smith..

LBJ said after the first game "We knew everything they were running"..I never hear any player or coach said that about MDA..

I just really need to see this series go atleast 7 before woodson even sniffs an extension..

Shit Even Isiah got us to the playoffs..wip-dee-doo..

There's a reason he was fired in Atlanta. Two straight playoff sweeps as pathetic as a head coach. We should probably make that three now.
