And who should be coaching us when he is fired?

D'Antoni is an idiot because he runs an offense dependent on three point shooting with some of the most dominant front court players in the league. Take off your rose-colored lenses, man. It's time for D'Antoni to go

I'm offended that u need to insult our intelligence for our opinions. How is it that every roster we have underachieves. It's obvious he has had the talent. Look at all the Ex-Knicks succeeding and playing much better without him. Gallo, Crawford, Lee, Nate, Chandler, Zach..the list goes on. He's had enough talent to not see all these offensive and defensive lapses team after team.

If he needs a PG to succeed fine. Then you adjust til your PG gets healthy some how to play better. What's his excuse to not adjusting during the game to situations. Timeouts to stop flow? Changing your sub patterns according to games. I watch so many games of other teams and always see other coaches get their starters back in quicker if the subs are stinking it up. How can you go 6 minutes without scoring and not call one timeout? what does that have to do with not having a PG?

What do random double teams leaving good 3 point shooters open have to do with a PG?

This all can't be coincidence. It comes from no discipline from the head honcho aka THE COACH!!

only Iman out of that group is capable of penetrating but he cannot be the only person that can take it off the dribble.
That is why Lin's speed and quickness will help...

Nixluva are you related to D'Antoni?

No! I just happen to know BB! I actually have the SSOL playbook and I know what the plays are supposed to look like! None of our guards are actually running the sets right! Shump was asleep at the wheel and missing wide open passes for easy scores! TD was setting up further and further out on the floor or driving with no plan and forcing shots. The passing and ball movement comes to a stop when your PG's do this.

if you have the SSOL playbook answer this: why is our idiot coach running it with a team that isn't fit to run it.

coach to your talent. coach to what your team does well. pat riley knew it. any good coach knows it. d'antoni is a stubborn idiot. how many games do we need to lose with guys who can't shoot threes missing threes to prove d'antoni's point?

he's a stubborn idiot and needs to be fired. he's putting his precious system ahead of what the team needs.

nixluva, how is shumpert's ROY campaign going under d'antoni's brilliant hand?

colombian0725 wrote:Okay he is a good passer but I am asking is he a pass first point guard? If so please tell me when. I have always seen Davis as score first. Yes he can pass but his tendency is to find his own shot. As Barkley said it you don't change who you are in your 9th or 10th season. I think some of you guys are depending on Baron to be this Chris Paul pass first point guard and will quickly learn he is still a score first.

he's not a pass-first guard. but this team needs his outside shooting, ability to penetrate and dish and his ability to be a third-scorer more than anything.

he's not a pass-first point guard, but neither was chauncey. this team needs a floor general. baron isn't chris paul or nash, but he's a good leader and good third scorer.

At this point TD needs a long vacation. Not ready for D league bad. At least Lin is hungry and focused. I don't know how he will play but that trip to the D-league combined with TD's poor play shows that he should get a chance. If players think they're safe no matter what they do, they can get complacent, sloppy, selfish.

I'm not at home or else I'd get extremely specific and breakdown the plays and show you the mistakes our guards are making. I'd post the plays and show you how they're diagrammed and compare that to what the guards are actually doing wrong. How that poor execution and lack of floor vision or timing is the cause of all the bad shots and turnovers.

It's very insulting that you keep calling people who are voicing their opinions ignorant. I've play'd organized basketball and watched the sport for over 2 decades.

I agree with you with the PG play but that's not the only aspect of the game that is failing right now. Or failing when we had a competent PG in Felton. All these issues have always been there regarding coaching. You are pinpointing everything to the guards. I agree with Baron Davis we will be a better team BUT the sub patterns will still be the same, lack of timeouts will still be there, you will still see bad defense, etc.

How many times in his tenure have we said damn Dantoni coached his ass off that game. Besides the first two games of Celtics series, I can't think of one.

Wow we are really hoping a D-League guy to come in and help this team will Basketball games? what a freaking joke.

This is the kind of ignorance I'm talking about!!! You're proving my point. The offense isn't dependent on 3's! Go read up on the offense 1st then come back to me! There's a reason that
His teams have been near the top of the league in offensive efficiency.

Someone mentioned why not play Lin cuz he can penetrate but that's not everything either. There's more to it than that. See how often TD messes up on his drives. It looks easy
But it's not! Billups admitted last year that it was the hardest thing he'd done trying to learn the offense. I doubt that Lin has it down either. No one knows this better than MDA.

As for poor D! When you struggle so much on offense it effects your D! Frustration sets in and you lose focus.
