If only D'Antoni's head wasn't so hard he would still be Coach of the Knicks. Hears why!

He is UNHAPPY. Money is nice but legacy is everything.


Unless Melo and the rest of the team change things ASAP, non-Knick fans will remember that MDA has achieved more in the playoffs than anyone on this roster not named Tyson Chandler, and he'll walk away from this with the intact legacy.

hahaha - I don't think so (in Jerry Seinfelds voice). If 15-5 aint changing things then I don't know what "things" are. Knick fans don't give a damn what did not do for the Knicks (Thats for you BasketballJones).


I don't think so - I'm sure MDA has had plenty of 15-5 stretches too. No one except Melo loving MDA haters reaches major conclusions from 20 reg season games.

"Changing" != "Changed"

In how many games did Melo commit treason?

whom MDA wanted traded because he quit on the team. I'm convinced that if I explain this 5 more times, you will get it.

MDA was cooked when Dolan made the trade.

Otherwise they would have extended him.

Woodson was hired to be there incase.

Melo was not having any of what MDA was trying to do.

Melo is a star and he wanted to be on Broadway.

MDA wanted him to be part of an ensemble cast.

Melo is a lead player. Dolan wanted a lead player.

Is that right or is it wrong?

It may not win championships, but look how happy most fans are!

They love to love melo.

This franchise defies logic. Maybe thats whats so fun.

Its been a hell of a season. I hope we keep Lin.

I am convinced that you are wrong but I don't think you will figure that out. Injuries, and misuse account a lot for the quitting you are accusing Melo of. Also, when asked if D'Antoni could have held guys accountable like Woodson, Melo said that wasn't him.

Spewing propaganda 5 times will not make it truth.

MDA quit on his team by not communication with his players during games and just ignoring them - SICK!

I know you are bustin balls but I have wondered if Melo knew that there was a rift between himself and D'Antoni. I think there is a belief among some nba players (maybe olympians) that D'Antoni was just an easy going guy that didn't struggle with communication. I believe Melo was of that mindset and that while he might not have agreed systematically with what D'Antoni was trying to do, he didn't see it as a rift between himself and the coach. Remember in the interview after Woodson's first game Melo said he was going to text Mike to see how he was doing. Just my opinion but I think how Mike carried himself did not communicate how tightly wound he was. I don't think Melo had a clue that D'Antoni was going to resign.

I actually think you might be right. Those interviews looked like he did not know. I don't think he is the brightest guy either. If he was, he would not have said that he was giving more effort for Woody even though he probably meant that Woody just pushes everyone really hard as oppose to MDA. If he was a bit smarter he would know that many equally not smart people would take what he says out of context. I have not seen one negative interview or comment from Carmelo yet - even though he is portrayed as such a villein and I have seen many villeins.

Yeah, I don't think every star player cares about the politics of sports as much as the fans do. Finding more energy for Mike Woodson to him doesn't mean he didn't like or give 100 percent for MDA. It's obvious he fought with MDA, but people don't fight when they quit. Just look at Dwight Howard in Orlando, not a single fight out him, he just went into the night.

It's just a matter of logic. If MDA has coached teams to .700 seasons, then of course he has done it for 20-game samples as well.

There are two types of people in this world;

those who can extrapolate from incomplete data

TKF on Melo ::....he is a punk, a jerk, a self absorbed out of shape, self aggrandizing, unprofessional, volume chucking coach killing playoff loser!!
