Nixluva - how does any coach have a set rotation with injuries?
It would be hard this year, but Woody has made it worse with his constant changes. I know it's not going to be easy, but dude just hasn't done a good job of trying to find some semblance of stability with his rotations and lineups. Even before the injuries piled up he didn't have a real rotation.
He's coaching a bottom 5 roster and working for Dolan. That's an impossible job. You and some others are clearly microanalyzing every possible decision, which is what always happens when an overrated roster surprises people who expected more. It's what many metrics expert predicted would happen during the season actually. In this case, clearly if Woodson kept stable lineups while we were losing you'd criticize him for being stubborn and inflexible.

I just don't see decisions that make a lot of sense. I'm not killing him for simply making moves or not, but rather the quality and rationale of the decisions. From the very start of the year it was clear Woody didn't have a solid approach to how he was gonna use this roster. Now it's even harder with the injuries, but would be less so with a solid base to work from. ie. MDA in LA has had a ton of injuries too, but his core approach with the team was solid and so he didn't really have as much trouble adjusting as the injuries added up.

What did he say ???
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.
