“Doc loves coaching,” the source told ESPN. “He loves coaching in Boston. But he feels it may be time for a change.”

My question, if we had the opportunity to make a run at Doc, should we?

This has been discussed on twitter today. Below are a few opinions

I know woodson got #knicks the #2 seed. But if Doc rivers was available i'd kick him to the curb so fast all you'd see would be a blur.

Jonathan Wagner ‏@JonathanJWagner

I like Doc Rivers as much as most, but #Knicks fans clamoring for him forget the #Celtics were TERRIBLE under him before the Big 3 arrived!

John Schmeelk ‏@Schmeelk

If Doc Rivers becomes available, the Knicks need to make a phone call. Whether you like Woody or not, he is not the difference maker Doc is.

Which caused Begley to finally respond.

Ian Begley ‏@IanBegley

@RealLifeThought @JaredZwerling they may consider it but that's a lot of money to tie into coaching. I think woody's safe for this year

While I do think they failed I dont believe Woodson is at the top of the blame.

Be careful what you wished for, this team isn't as good as you think it is, Doc isn't as good as you think he is either.

Now he just has to learn some offense and get some balance to get through the playoffs just defense alone won't get a team through playoffs. ACCOUNTABILITY starts with the coach.

thats why I keep saying all he really needs to do is hire and offensive coordinator. He has proven to be a very good motivator, his offense is just too predictable.

Of course it's going to be predictable when we have only 2 players who can score. 3 if I include Cope.

Learn some offense? We had the 3rd most effiecient offense in the NBA.

That is regular season offense, you play a lot of crappy teams during the year. Playoffs is what separates the men from the boys. In the playoffs you see good teams and good teams know how to make the necessary adjustments to squeeze a team. One thing you can't be is predictable in the playoffs.

thank you AND, just because you have good OFFENSIVE PLAYERS has NOTHING to do with a coaches philosophy. Woodys Iso reliance simply will not cut it in the post season. He's good at most of the other aspects of coaching but, his offense is predictable and easy to gameplan for.

Your right.. the playoffs do separate the men from the boys. Funny how our players have terrible playoff records year after year but our current coach is to blame for that also.

Its not the system folks. Its not the playoffs. Its being able to execute against talent.

For 10 years Melo has averaged 41% in the playoffs. But when it happens here its because of bad coaching. Its like blaming Isiah for Marbury's malcontent attitude. Marbury was a mental case for year and people expected him to change here. Why? Why are you expecting Melo to play something besides give me the ball and get out of the way?

Woody's 100% all defense was perfect in my opinion. Trying to change Melo is failing endevour. Just ask Mike Dantoni. Woody watched the whole thing unfold and realized the way to advance is to crush the opponent defensively and hope MElo gets hot. It was working great. While Melo was hot. Guy goes cold and its on the coach?????

Wow... OK. Is that really how you guys see this roster?

Who cares where he finished in COY voting? Since 04-05 MDA, Avery Johnson, Sam Mitchell, Byron Scott, Mike Brown, and Scott Brooks have all won the award. Hell, George Karl just won it and Denver's letting him go.
