You'll gain that "win spike" that all teams get with a coaching change, but in reality the team isnt good, certainly not anwhere as good as last years.

These guys look lost mainly and they are, as there isnt anyone capable of leading them on the floor.

I feel bad for them on this road trip, all the best point guards and bigs will feast on the weaknesses we all knew the team had BEFORE the season.

They'll probably get a new coach right before Tyson returns. Why put a new coach in the position of running this squad now?

But if he actually does lose his job, I would think they have a replacement already on deck, and outside of Calipari Ive heard of no one.

This is why Woodson needs to go…WHY PLAY SHUMP AT PG WHEN YOU HAVE T.MURRY ON THE BENCH?!

Give the damn kid a look! At this point, whats the worse that can happen??? The Knicks lose ANOTHER game?

This is why I hate Coaches like MDA and L.Brown…their inability (and fear) to try new things and get out of that damn box that they live in. fcuk!!

Atleast that is 4ward looking thinking. Will we give shumpert 40 min at ph? Not a chance

BRIGGS - losing a bushel of draft pick stings. Dreaming that our trash - Lin, Ariza, Gallinari, Lee and Nene ... with Wilson Chandler as sixth man... would be fun to root for... screams for continuity.

We can always build around Tim Hardaway Jr.

Utah at leases looks 4ward to putting a franchise 20 year old player on their team. In the nba you can't be in the middle. Brooklyn and my are very similar although I think mj could make something out of Lopez Blanche plumber. We do not even have that. We have no good young players

Really? You're actually including Melo in that comment now?

At his age now and his shoulder issue, I wouldn't make him the corner stone of the franchise for the next 5 years at a zillion million dollars per year.

VCoug - how does an incompetent coach win 54 games?

The franchise faces some hard choices at the trade deadline.

Pending the health and return of Tyson Chandler, and the body language of Carmelo Anthony, Steve Mills and Allan Houston will have an opportunity to impress Dolan with their fancy footwork, and long range strategy.

The renovation of Madison Square Garden is not complete.

Why do you keep defending Woodson? It's gotten to the point where it's like you're related to him or something. He has no redeeming qualities as a coach. Our offense stinks, we make dumb mistakes at the end of games that are clearly a result of lack of direction, our defensive philosophy is just "switch" and we have one of the worst defenses in the league. In woody's press conferences he just repeats the same crap over and over and sounds like a defeated man. He only picks on certain players and this is clearly causing tension in the locker room. I understand how someone can say wait to fire him because we're not getting a good coach mid-year, but how can you still be defending this imbecile? You can say 54 wins all you like but it's meaningless, Woody is proving he had very little to do with the success of the team last year.

Q. Dagger - Why do you keep defending Woodson?

A. Because he was not the one who decided to keep Chris Smith or fire Glen Grunwald two weeks before training camp. That kind of chaos and favoritism is never a good thing.

I agree that those two things were very damaging to the team, but they are not the only problems.
