This is the C's they take away your #1 and #2 option. Did you even watch the damn game? Pay freaking attention. They will double your primary scorers and leave the wings open. That's why we had Shump and Fields open. Learn the damn game!!!

lol no point in getting worked up over lack of bball knowledge.

....you pay freaking attention. I don't understand the point of having 2 of the better scorers in the nba with a offensive minded coach. His coaching has been exactly that; offensive. You HAVE to figure out a way to get them the ball. The Novak decoy was so obvious everyone knew it was coming, and I apparently didn't even watch the damn game.

A loss tomorrow should be the nail in the coffin

With Dolan's track record, one can only hope.

Seriously this hero-worshipping of other coaches and players who are doin some fairly ordinary things gets old pretty quick. We played very good defense today, they made their three poiners we missed ours. Doc Rivers didn't do some magic, if anything we had better gameplan.

Something tells me Doc would not continue to play TD when its obvious he is hurting the team. Doc is not afraid to get in his star players faces when the situation calls for it. If you don't see that and would rather stick with our current coach then more power to you. Just don't tell me what I should or should not be doing.

Too many bricked or airball threes.. but I think most of us are mad at the decision to put TD in (and our lead was promplty squandered), and that last.. play .. of the game. I don't even blame MDA for the technical, but his rotation was very curious

I thought Lin had some moments, but I wouldn't say he's gonna turn this team around or anything. He just needs to keep playing well and improving. I think they wanted to give him a taste of real action and still bring him along at a reasonable pace. I wanted to see him again, but at the same time they probably felt he left with a good feeling about his game and didn't want to push it, knowing the C's would turn up the D, as they always do.

Lin may not turn the team around right away but he deserves a chance. The season is almost lost its about the future now

to be honest man we have no depth. Harrellson was our best bench player but he is out. Now people know why some didn't want that trade to go down too risky for depth and chemistry reasons. cant blame the coach

even with no depth, I think everyone expected us to be better than this though. The fact that depending on a low 2nd round pick is concerning..

The test is to make sure we beat nj tomorrow

We will continue to play to the level of our competition....Until we get two way players around Melo and Stat, we will continue to have these ugly games.

Jefferies and Chandler are great defenders...but suck on offense.

Novak is a great shooter, but sucks on defense.....

Ill Will was really out only two way player....Without two way players, we will continue to look sorry against most teams....

We have a 2 way player. His name is Jeremy Lin.

Exactly where did I tell you what you should be doing? I told you what you do is irritating. I also didn't say I would keep MDa over Doc Rivers, I said TODAY Doc didnt do anything special so I found the hero worshipping a bit thick. If you want to overreact to that feel free to.

Exactly. People now have moved onto harvard's Jeremy lin as the next Knicks savior lol

I think you are disregarding the iq of fans on this forum if you are saying stuff like that. Douglas has been a liability on the court. Lin had some good minutes in the first half in an intense game. There is a reason the guys getting paid to commentate on the game questioned D'Antoni's decision to bring in the the guy that has been the liability. I don't think anyone on here sees Lin as the savior. I think he is seen as the lesser of two evils at a position where the Knicks have nothing.
