Even if Indy was better, that was still one of the worst playoff coaching performances of all time.

The only point being made here today that holds any weight is we had a trash team then, just as we do know and Woodson at least green lighted our chuckers and let them run the asylum. That helped get us halfway up the mountain, but it was never going any higher than that. Woodson was a terrible coach.

I don't have to rewrite history, it's already written..18-6 then 54 wins followed by a 37 win team...It's written..2 playoff appearance in 2 and 1/4 years..When was the last time that happened here..When will be the next time??

well said.

splat. History is written in the numbers.

keep telling yourself that. That 54 win team was garbage. They were gutless in the playoffs. They were an abomination.

If numbers are so great, then Melo's scoring title makes him a top 10 player despite being the lowest ranked defensive player at his position in the NBA. You can cherry pick statistics all you want.

Probably true. Though you can see how peoples' brains are whirring, trying to resurrect the ghost of Mike Woodson by claiming he was smart for letting Melo be Melo.

Its the sound of chickens with their heads cut off running around the courtyard.

You have to stand your ground and get the team to play team ball or send them packing. Capitulate now and it just becomes a pack of wild dogs chucking shots.

And this is not about THE TRIANGLE whatever the Broussard article reported. They don't like playing the triangle. Oh horsechit! They don't like playing fundamental basketball. The triangle is not rocket science. It sounds like we have a bunch of aholes on this squad and they don't want to apply themselves.

That is the most pathetic thing you could have said. Glad it made you satisfied. You're real easy to please. Jim Dolan thanks you for your patronage.

its ok to be a little disappointed on how that season ended. It doesnt mean i disregarded the 54 wins, but i expected a deep playoff run. I think thats a extremely fair assessment. Basically i was thrilled with 54 wins but i felt we should have went much further

If you were expecting a deep playoff run then you weren't honest with yourself about the prospects of beating Indiana..

You're not sustaining any logic here. The one consistent thread is you were really happy with the number 54 and nothing else really matters as long as they hit that number. It was a garbage team, but 54 is your way of saying it wasn't even if they played like garbage when it counted. Suit yourself.
