Woodson should start with cutting back on the whining himself. In a lot of the previous game where we lost our poise, Woodson was picking up techs along with our players. If he remains calm himself, it'd probably be easier to get the players to follow.

This. Memphis, Houston, Chicago and now Boston. Definite trend

Yes, Melo's 29ppg thin skin. Big problem to solve.

yup... you just saw last year's playoffs repeat themselves. Im sure this year will be different though. After Boston beats us in the 2-7 matchup you can blame Woody's bad offense, Amare's lack of rebounding and Chandler's lack of a post game for another Melo first round exit. More of the same. Now we need a Melo protector. Good stuff.

yep that is exactly what I was thinking last night and my biggest concern. Game was a lot like the recent playoff games vs the Celtics and Heat. They punch the Knicks in the mouth, they get frustrated Melo losses cool and tries to take the game over with the wrong frame of mind. But keep those MVP chants comin!

Thats what I was wondering too. If anyone lost their cool last season, it was Amare. As for the year before that (against the Celtics), Melo was kinda the only one capable of doing anything on offense with Amare and Billups out so him shooting wasnt a matter of him getting mad.

But, hey, KG is the puppeteer/master manipulator and Melo's a thin-skinned bad leader with no poise.

OR...KG is a run of the mill douchebag who said something particularly nasty (& personal?) to Melo, and Melo, who was having a bad shooting night, wanted to have a conversation about it after the game. As men.

I have more of an issue with how the Knicks as a team will respond to teams that use physical play to beat us and what strategies they'll use in the future to offset that.

Like I said Reggie Miller got under Starks skin and you praise Starks. KG gets under Melo's skin and you call him thin skinned, the haters keep hating.
