I will never understand the anti D'Antoni crowd. This guy has been here taking the hit to his rep when we had no intention to win, but instead wanted to hold on until 2010. Any time he had some talent and they left him alone he got the players to play well. ZBo n Jamal before the trade, Felton, STAT, Gallo n Chandler before the trade and finally Lin, Fields, Tyson, Shump n Jared before Melo came back! All we read was how the players supported MDA and would run thru walls for him, then Melo comes back and it all goes away.

Melo is the one who is the one not being flexible. MDA put the entire offense in Melo's hands!!!! Melo could call his own number whenever he wanted!!! It didnt work!!! What else can a coach do??? Does everyone just forget this fact????

I won't miss him - and my condolences - you did stand by him through thick and thin and I respect that.

Clearly BOTH wouldn't give. Come on, the offensive genius couldn't figure a way to get Melo the ball at his preferred location? Lin had to be the one holding an olive branch?

There is stink on both Melo and Pringles

Yea. Many of us are no Starbury fanboys, but a lot of thought what went down between them was as much 's inflexibility as Marbles. Sure he's a nut, but he's a talented nut, can't you figure out how not to waste that salary? actually made Marbury a sympathetic figure to me in that case.

So yea, this is the remix. I'm only surprised at how quickly it went down, thought 'd be in it for a few weeks of tabloid back pages back-and-forth.

I'm no -hater, but I'm so bloody sick of coach firings/resignations. It's so cliche at this point. All this "coming home" crap. Yea, the chickens always come home to roost.
