What's the point of firing him? You think that's changing anything?

what is your contribution to any thread dude? You say basically the same thing about everything we talk about.....

What's your contribution? You make posts every other day about how D'Antoni sucks and should be fired, etc., do you think this is changing anything? Why keep saying it over and over?

its better than saying "what's the point of (insert topic here)?"

make a contribution to the topic for once in this screen names life....Free GKF

Alright bro,

FIRE D'ANTONI YEAHAHHH HE SUCKS FFIRE HIM!! FIRE HIM TO SAVE THE SEASON!

Let's go KNICKS!

Seems like the typical contribution around here.

dude, enough. Thanks.

Nah, it's not enough. Sick and tired of people living in a bubble and always having these grandiose expectations for the franchise. We're always "one ______ away" from contending. Always. we're always searching for that one thing. When are we, as fans, going to realize it isn't just one thing?

Like I said, I've hated Mike for years, even before it was popular to hate Mike.

But by firing him all you're doing is making him the scapegoat for a poorly constructed roster.

I was pissed we got rid of Billups to sign Chandler. I'm still pissed about it now.

Chandler is a good center but also overpaid. And at the expense of Billups? We could have signed someone like Dalembert and kept Billups at the same time. Camby..what about him? Guy is still playing great at his age. There were options. We went with Chandler. It's not a bad thing but it is when you lose your only point guard.

We really thought we'd be fine without Billups but now you know how much he meant to the team.

But then I looked at the Billups led teams here in NY and I still saw flaws, like how Amar'e and Carmelo could still not play well together in the same game or at the same time. One was taking a backseat to the other. They were still having problems meshing but Billups was at least around as a veteran leader and PG to keep the offense moving. They still didn't look great on offense, though. Not with all that "firepower". I just don't think this combo of Amar'e and Carmelo will ever work. Amar'e looks like he wants to be traded. This guy went from Amar'e to post-Knicks McDyess in a millisecond.

Whether he gets fired or not, I could care less. I don't like him. But there has to be some rationality here. Blindly calling for his head like some new coach is going to come in here and wave a magic wand and make things right is not my style. This guy, for all his faults, knows how to coach offense. We can diss him for many things - like 3 pointers, like it was Nash that made him good, etc. - but all his players have praised him for his offense and I can't doubt he has that talent. When the likes of Kobe and LeBron and such are saying you know your stuff on offense then that's the best recommendation you can get. If this guy can't get these players to play offense the right way then I, in my opinion, believe nobody can. This guy is not even running SSOL anymore. He's doing anything he can in his playbook to adjust to this iso ball garbage but he just can't make it work. And I don't believe any coach will. Sure, we can try it, but it will just be a waste of time. We have a very good offensive coach right here and we're failing miserably. I don't think an inferior coach like Woodson will change that.

At the end of the day the people who think D'Antoni is 100% at fault will be the ones that will be disappointed if that doesn't happen, not me. I'm just trying to make it a point that D'Antoni is not the reason for our current failures. Of course he is not without fault but the team as constructed wont win with any coach and I firmly believe that.

Anyway, we all know what will inevitably happen and we can't stop it. We'll just change coaches like changing underwear while Dolan orgasms at his ticket sales.

As I said before...D'Antoni will eventually be fired, Woodson will replace him until the end of the season, we'll be begging Phil Jackson out of retirement and he'll decline, we'll then hire *insert retread coach here* to replace D'Antoni/Woodson, we'll still be failing miserably again because of poor management and personnel and finally we'll fire Glen Grunwald and trade Amar'e after his value has decreased immensely for what turns out to be more cap killing crap. And round and round we go on this ride we call The Dolan Express. I've been on this ride before. We can't stop Dolan. We can only hope to contain him.

100% agree.
The only thing I want ot add that Mikes fate was decided after Malo trade and Walsh let go.
Since this moment he is just going through moutions.
He was probably the one who wonted the most for this season never start.
This team is biggest mess in NBA since Isiah Knicks. So we are losing only to ourself.
And we cannot blame anybody but ourselfs for being losers.
We fans continue to eat the crap we are given by Dolan so why he would bother to change anything.
When he made Rangers the biggest joke in NHL the fans stop showing up and this pushed the change.
Dolan stop dungling with the team and hockey in general and the team is slowly made his way back.
Not sure that Knicks can be as fortunate.

Yeah, stop eating the crap. Just think what you could be doing with that extra 9-12 hours per week.

It must really suck to work for the Knicks franchise. Otherwise, they'd have more pride in their work.

Walsh was starting get the credibility back and then dolan took over and now we are back to square one

Walsh stepping down was a major sign that things would head downhill again.

You gotta believe that they know MDA is not this bad of a coach. There are some HUGE extenuating circumstances with this season. You all know what they are, but then to add that they don't have a PG on top of that is why this looks this bad.

We don't need a defensive coach!

seems we did better playing little defense.

Just saying.
