without Amare Stoudemire and Kenyon Martin, tonight, who does the rebounding?

3-20 is not simply a coaching change.

- Unlimited media access, outside of closed practices

- One person in charge of player personnel, his decision is final

- Cut the fancy player introductions and burn the orange unis on Seventh Avenue in a public ceremony hosted by Lady Gaga

- Move celebrity row to the sky bridge. Cut ticket prices in half

- If you are not 100% healthy you go on the injured list. Cut the platoon bs.

- You suck. you sit. That includes all five starters three minutes into any given game.

- Bring back the white warmup jackets from the seventies

- you show up ready for noon starts at 8AM. No exceptions.

- Hit the open man

At the half our guards had scored 2 points and had 9 rebounds. Total. That is not a decent stat line for one player, let alone four.

Screaming at Mike Woodson does not change the fact that he does not handle the basketball. He handles minutes. (Yes, The Answer Man wishes Toure Murry got some of those minutes.)

While Ray and JR are injured, Beno struggles with his pace and Shump struggles with his decision-making, we need our guards to see a therapist.

Prig is playing the best amongst our guards and that isn't saying much.

Are you this awesome in person? Lol

Cablevisions and the Dolan family are not going anywhere. Therein lies the major problem.

Cablevision can afford the Knicks from its petty cash envelope and another younger Dolan is being groomed.

Mike Woodson is the LEAST of the Knicks issues. It starts at the too with putting ONE person in charge of the basketball operation and allowing him to do his job.

any franchise being run by committee will always bite its tail

To summarize both statements are indubitably true:

1) This team blows
2) Woody is a terrible coach

Also, I highly suspect JR Smith has compromising photos of Woodson. How does he get a minute of playing time at this point? He's putrid!

Woody is a fine coach who has had to deal with a team that has no guards and inconsistency via play and injury. Could we be 3 games better. Maybe but anyone who at this pint thinks this is a good team doesn't know bbal

Briggs: I have no illusions about this team. They suck. I just think Woody is also inept. Would firing him change anything? Probably not.

Misterearl: Yes, the Dolans aren't going anywhere. I know this, and it's depressing.

IMO the shots aren't falling due to the horrid flow and spacing out there. You can't compare how the team is playing this year to last year when they were hitting shots. This year they aren't really using the same sets as much. There are too many plays where they are motionless for 8-10 seconds before they even get into the play and then it looks so sloppy.

This team came out of camp unprepared and even Woody said he didn't know who the team was. He had most of his core team returning and he was LOST? If you're a well prepared team you don't look that lost on every possession. All of that leads to poor confidence, poor rhythm and technique on your shot. When you execute properly you have shooter who are confident and in rhythm on their shots. If we were playing the same scheme as last year and losing then I'd be more inclined to just blame the players, but that hasn't been the case. All you have to do is just watch a game from last year and notice the sets they used and then compare to this year and you'd see it clear as day.

I swear we have the same exact opinion on everything knicks related
