Who else is capable? You think you know for sure that Lin is ready? You think MDA really wanted to have TD and Bibby as his only real PG's on the team? I'm pretty sure they've been working with Lin, but lets give the kid some time to get the hang of this offense before we just throw him in there.

How long before you say **** this and let me give this other kid a shot? The goal is to win. TD and Bibby is not doing that for us. Wouldn't it be foolish not to try somebody else in your team? I am also not looking to throw him out there for ****s-and-giggles. Give him Bibby's minutes. 5-10 minutes in a game should benefit both the Knicks and Lin.

Yes the goal is to WIN. The goal is NOT to experiment by throwing in the flavor of the day scrub because the fans want blood. Continuity is of paramount importance when the chips are down. You guys start with throwing around names of scrubs like Lin, then there's a handful of posts saying he may do this better and that better and suddenly it is the coach's fault because Lib is not getting PT. there is no basis for this rationale it's built on conjecture in the absence of data.9

Continuity is the only way you can make incremental improvement. We suck because our team is disbalanced with gaping holes. Changing to a different band aid isn't going to heal a ruptured artery. Change for the sake of changing is ill advised and meaningless. This type of thing is usually suggested by people who either don't have a long term plan or dont have the discipline needed to execute one.

I agree with you, except I don't think we have a lot of gaping holes. I think the PG spot, has force players like TD, Amare, melo, and shrump, to play out postion..So if you really look at it, one player is forcing 4 to 5 players to play in a way they re not comfortable playing, it's almost like a domino effect.

Former Knicks president Isiah Thomas, coach at nearby Florida International University, sat on the baseline near the visitors’ bench, next to agent and power broker William Wesley. D’Antoni did not acknowledge Thomas’ presence.

I think it's obvious Melo doesn't like D'Antoni, but at the same time won't kick up a stink about it (I think he failed to endorse him in the exit interviews at the end of last season). As much as I dislike D'Antoni and think his system is a very poor fit for NY, I say keep him for the rest of this season- what would we gain from firing him now? He hasn't lost the team, plus any new coach would have hardly any practice days to impliment a new system.
