He's had some bad luck with injuries, but maybe he'll catch a break with guys getting healthy at the right time.

Woody has a terrible playoffs record and his career average wins per season is somewhere in the low to mid 40s if I remember correctly,

let's not start handing out coach of the year awards based on a 52 win season with a superstar,

everything for the knicks, including woodson's and melo's reputations, hinges on this year's Second Season,

i see no reason to feel any type of hype until we see how this Second Season goes,

IF, only IF, this Second Season goes well (well meaning ECF appearance at a minimum), then at this point NEXT YEAR, with a similar record, can we justify Regular Season hype

Oh, now he's a superstar

They happen to ask Woodson to coach the team. Woodson , there's a method to his madness he has a lot of players to evaluate before he finds out who's gonna be the most valuable and reliable before the 2nd season comes around.

This roster( as mature as it is in age) is assembled and fashioned to play playoff basketball.

I will hold my Mike Woodson judgement for the playoffs. This reg season test is for younger teams, our roster has years of playoff experience where nerves and intensity are tested.

Some of you act like little women with hot flashes , you can't handle it.

What I said pretty much summed it up, people who know knicks basketball knew, those who thought they knew the knicks panicked!

To go back over this thread and see the names and to see they are silent now speaks volumes.

In your definition please explain your meaning of a scoring specialist that you say thats all Melo is. Please explain. And why he is nothing else in your opinion. These are your words and you keep on saying it. Oh by the way Jamal Crawford is a scoring specialist. How do you compare??

Nit everyone is silent now. 20 people voted to fire woodson during that time. Maybe one and two have been silent

Please tell me , what are they saying different. Have they been reading Nalod's book of fence straddling of being right on both sides.
