We started with MOST of the key players from last year in terms of production and minutes. Don't tell me this is not an indictment on Woody's coaching. It's a clear reflection of the way he prepared the team. This is his decision making and lack of ability to give the team a clear sense of what they should be doing. This doesn't mean they can't eventually play better but the dudes coaching is suspect IMO. Putting all the evidence together from his years here he is not proving to be a top coach.

Where is the growth of this team from last two yrs to this year? We have players who should be having breakout seasons this year and the opposite has happened. I most certainly can blame Woody for this. With this much time with the same core players they should perform as a unit almost on auto pilot by now. The guy clearly hasn't had that kind if effect on his players!!! Everything else is BS!

Melo just said it today, JR said the same thing a few weeks ago...even Woodson has stated this isnt the same team.

When the star player says the team doesnt have chemistry, thats not the coach...that an improper roster.

Changing the coach is an easy fix, but what does it fix...the team isnt a good team....just a collection of individual talent.

Woody right now is going through what Doc did before the Big three....but I know they should have fired Doc, even though the team sucked.

There's no reason he couldn't run the same basic offense he had when Prigs, Felton, Shump, Melo and Tyson started and the team had a clear vision of what they were doing. The simple thing is to start there and work with the new additions to learn that flow and spacing. We didn't see that. This was a major fail by Woodson. The only thing that can save him is for guys to just get hot shooting and bail him out. That still isn't a substitute for good coaching.

Nixluva - you repeat the same nonsense and ignore the fact there were eight new players on the roster.

Stop it.

There have been far worse collections of talent

I'm gonna call BS on that. Our 2nd best player should be more like a 7th or 8th man (if not 11th or 12th). Teams like OKC or Miami would never start a guy like Bargnani.

I don't know, it's hard to see Melo as a 7th or 8th man on another team

Back to nixluva on Knicks untapped talent, and they way our superior backcourt must be underachieving due to coaching... especially at the point.

Who is guarding Jrue Holiday?
