we're only 5.5 games out of the playoffs... don't give up hope! MDA knows what he's doing, stop hattin.

awesome to see Jordan Hill got those valuable 6 minutes tonight to develop.

Yup...he was definitely workin on the hustle there....but let us not forget these are rooks and they don' know squat about basketball. We have to play vets...the rooks have guaranteed money...next year these poor vets might be in the handout line with the rest of the banking industry.

Also give D'Antoni flack for putting Chandler and Gallo on the bench for 7 minutes in the 2nd quarter. Why? Don't know.

And Evans absolutely OWNED Glue down the stretch in regulation.

Kudos to you Will. You probably will never get 23 shots again this season.

Hopefully we'll see some new faces next week.

LMAO @ "Glue"

That's what he is. Zeke said so.

just saw the replay of the last possession - what kind of play was it. nate attacked but chandler was running to the rim and lee was planted in the paint. what were the other options for nate?

So to crystallize what you are saying...it's going to be an ugly summer?

Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

There was no reason for Chandler to sit at any point (let alone that gigantic stretch in the first half)

And there's no reason for Jeffries to be on the court for that play that they 'drew up'

Breen has it in for Nate Robinson. Every time he misses it is a bad shot. Tiresome.

I'm tired of D'Antoni's BS as well. 2 games from Robinson where he averages nearly 20 points 6.5 assists and .5 turnovers a game and he proclaims that Duhon is a better option at point guard than duhon? Marv is a better option than Duhon at PG!

oohah

This was the best thing that cold happen really; we were up 15 pts and i had Sacramento by 1-5 on gamepicker.
lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

I know there will be some pollyanna's but MDA is not a great coach. I see what they were trying to do with the 3 ball and the full shot clock left--but Jefferies moving left to right and a foot behind the line? These losses expose MDA as mediocre.

Do good coaches lose games +15 /7m at home to a team that has lost 6 straight at the end if a long road trip?

This was the best thing that cold happen really; now we can go into the trading deadline under no illusions of competing this year.

Losing 12 of 16 games before the break was just what us fans needed. Maybe now the GM will act.

thanks - just caught the end after watching lost. then he should've had duhon + nate + al + chandler + lee. and how does he not run a play for chandler who had 30+?

Jeffries had an important 3 point play a little earlier and was stroking it (stop it TMS). I see your point, but Jeffries was kinda "clutch-ish" - in my opinion.

the problem is that w/o taking on salary, there is nothing but lateral moves available...considering nate + lee will veto everything.

i haven't watched his postgame yet, but i'm guessing it went something like this:


i may be hearing things but almost sounded like MDA said we built this team on defense at 0:27

we're close coach... we're real close... i can feel it.

After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

The Knicks are bad regardless of the coach.

However, D'Antoni is a spiteful douche-bag.

oohah

I'm not talking about lateral moves. I'm talking about sacrificing trying to win any more this year, play the kids, and try to get some draft picks back for any vet we can trade. Trade JJ for cap space.
