i'm telling you - Baron will be starting in a week. he might be a better fit for the starting lineup.

And? If that is better for the team are you not ok with it?

as i said: "he might be a better fit for the starting lineup." that's my opinion and i think it might be the best move.

yes, i'm okay with it. i root for the team to win.

i'm disgusted by melo's behavior - he was clearly dogging it and it was bringing down the whole team.

if they needed a new voice, fine. i don't have to like how it happened.

but i want the team to win. and i was one of the biggest cheerleaders for the baron move. i thought he'd play the PG perfectly with melo and amar'e. and it's looking like he might be able to. anyone who said baron was washed up did not watch him play for cleveland last year. 18ppg 9apg, led them to a lot of big wins, including over the heat.

We would've gotten destroyed by Portland if Dantoni was still coaching. Is obvious the players wanted a new voice

i'll believe it if they go better than 2-8 over the next ten. anyone can beat portland right now.

Im as skeptical as you, but this team has been so awful, they could easily be winning or trailing by only 2 points and give up the game in the third.

Wouldn't mind Baron at all in starting lineup, if he's all the way back. If anything Lin with the 2nd unit would run alot more.

i'm not rooting against them. i'm waiting to see them beat a quality opponent. the doubleheader against the pacers is HUGE. if they can sweep that, it'd be a crazy good sign for the rest of the season.

they SHOULD be able to beat the pacers. they match up well with that team.

This was a winnable game regardless of who was coaching. besides nothing has changed. No more extra ISO's for STAT or Melo have been run. This is still the same offense we've been running and they've just picked up the D with I might add the inclusion of Jared which helps. I want Woodson to succeed, but I'm not gonna say he's responsible for this game being so one sided. Explain how he could really have impacted any substantial change with no practice to change anything?

I think if anything we could say that the drama being over may have taken a weight off the players shoulders and that has allowed them to play a bit more free, but you can't make an argument that Woodson has made some major changes to impact the way the team plays. This is still SSOL they're running.

Agreed, that's the true test. Not Knicks West...Poor Nate.

After 6 games of Dumbtoni losses, we'll take any win!
