Isles has yet to say who his mystical new coach would be.

Mike Woodson Interim Head Coach

Then see who's available after the season.

I hear Larry Brown wants back in.

stick to cooking, duke.

Knicks are finding their groove in the offense, MDA finally has his PG, and this time he also has his closer and his defensive anchor, but your hatred for him is so strong you wanna switch to a guy whose entire scheme in Atlanta was "let Joe Johnson dribble in place for 20 seconds and then shoot"??

This team has a chance. Every team needs a little luck. San Antonio tanked and got Duncan. The Knicks luck is getting Lin. A nobody who fits the system and actually has talent on top of it. IT gives opposing Defenses one more thing to worry about and with the offense the Knicks run that is critical.

The Knicks will do great as long as they keep playing D, when Melo and STAT get back to playing big minutes.

Bring in an interm coach? Why, is the team not playing well?

Isiah lost his team. The turned him off.

This team plays for its coach. Not for Isles.

Lol. Yea and .let's bring Patrick ewing in.

"either he goes deep in the playoffs and pleases me, or remove him!"

"Bring me fresh hope!"

"Bring me Phil Jax and pay the man what he wants!"

But, lets be reasonable. We have 36 games. Team needs to adapt Melo and Baron in to the flow.

It will have some bumps no doubt.

Playoffs? I'd like to determine his status depending on the seeding we get and who we go against.

And I 'd like to access our health. Last year we crawled into the playoffs and we were cooked. I expected very little so my senses were not offended as some were. This year I would hope we are a team "Gel-Lin" and healthy.

Endorsement: "MDA is an offensive genius!" olympic head coach K

He can pick anyone, he picks MDA to blend his team to work as a unit.

Bottom line with Dolan is MSG makes money. They make money by winning and entertaining.

Team is doing both now.

I beg to differ. I'm enjoying this as much as anybody. The fact that I'm thinking as big as a championship should tell you that I've bought in on the players on this team (in fact I've been one of the few defending the makeup of the team while others still pine for the New York Nuggets). With Antoni being a lame duck coach, and with you claiming in another thread that extending his contract is the only option at this point, I thought it was a very legitimate topic to discuss whether or not Antoni was the right coach for this team as it hopes to compete for a championship.

Just because I can separate the two issues and not be pollyannaish like you and others that doesn't mean that I'm not enjoying the Jeremy Lin story.

Also your suggest of Woodson as an interim coach stinks. He's got a losing record in regular and post season. When you find someone better let me know.

Your like a fish out of water here... running out of things to throw mud about.

if your enjoying then enjoy. You sound like a powerball winner bitching about the taxes. Nobody cares.

Wait a minute. I'm only allowed to enjoy this the way you want me to enjoy it?

It's ok for you to say "Extend D'Antoni!" but it's not ok for me to question whether or not he's the right coach to take us to a championship?

You can question anything you want but your timing is not appropriate.

The season is turning around the there is an more excitement around this team then... well, then ever.
So NO. You cant. Bring it up at the end of the season when its appropriate to evaluate how this coach navigated this season and what the results were.

And that is firing Mike D'antoni.

sure... just like its ok to question whether your wife is the right woman to raise your children. Only your doing it when she's 8 mos pregnant.

Fishmike, is this not a question if he should be extended or not? I would like if they gauged his coaching through the playoffs and made the decision then. If the suggestion is put forth to extend him now, then this is a valid topic / argument NOW. No?
