Anthony's first scoring title
6th man of the year in JR Smith
development of Iman and Copeland
do you think ANY team would offer a pick for Woody's services when his contract is about half of River's?
I personally would have loved Brian Shaw as a highly payed assistant at 4m per year with a promise that he would take over as head coach in a year or 2
With the success of coaches of George Karl, Mark Jackson, Lion Hollins, Doc Rivers, Vinny Del Negro, PJ, some of them were still let go of their duties
We need changes and someone to take blame for the poor performance vs The Pacer's
Pacer's were the better team but we were not prepared in any way, we were horrible in many ways
we had horrible adjustments and/or lack of
horribile rotations and lineups
horrible BALL movement/game plan of OFF and DEF
unable/unwilling to push the ball against a set up Pacer's DEF
Playing Amare over Copeland when he did not play for over 3months and his DEF is worse than Copeland while Copeland has produced EVERY chance he had
We were not able to get the ball in the paint when Hibbert was the extra help defender and their tough 1v1 DEF to begin with
Allowing Melo and JR to go Iso while shooting 30% in multiple games while
Going all Vets was what Woody wanted and we had a lack of speed/athleticism/ 1v1 DEFenders,
I think we should look to acquire as much CHEAP talent in development that we COULD KEEP past 2015
Problem is, Woody does not give the opportunity and BUILD confidence/develop players like Poppavich/Spur's does
We need to add development coaches and the proper equipment if we can grab multiple players with the potential and the work ethic of Iman Shumpert
Add a system that does not rely on one or 2 players to take 30-40 shots, with more ball movement and TEAM EMPHASIS
He will favor "names" players that do not work and stick with it NO MATTER how bad they play
There is no accountability as he once preached, (only fake barks at Novak/Copeland) along with running plays when our most talented players are also our lowest BB IQ
We have no Core or Identity and offering 1 year deals if we continue to find gems/players that produce but cannot keep do to the new CBA does not help
I really hope Chandler can be traded for a trade exemption, along with Portland's 2nd round picks in a DEEP draft for rotation players, in picks 39,40,45, and possibly draft rights for Pap back

You kind of are answering the question but really in MSG where money is is not an obsticle why not just fire Woodson?
Dolan paid Larry Brown 18 million for one season. Why would he sweat eating one year of Woody's contract?
We won 54 games. Woodson likely did a great job this season. Indy is a better team. Might not be all woodsons fault.
If you think Copeland would haved us, then its a good thing your not the coach.
