I guess you can agree now that he aint such a hot coach!!

Getting there..like I said I agreed with you on a lot of the points. Just think he deserves a playoff to show and prove but with showings like this it's getting harder to believe that. A top notch coach doesn't get performances like this 2 times in a row.

Yeah! this is a joke! I hope Dolass will have the stones or the brains to dump him (unless he brings back ZEKE)

Walter McCarty sighting on the Pacers bench btw. Former Knick draft pick.

Trades can do that to a team

agreed, but that doesn't (or at least shouldn't) imply the lack of effort or professionalism is excusable

The point I was implying the trade.... just wasn't that good. You are what your record says you are.....6-5 with Melo=Mediocre 28-26 without Melo=Medicore

Meanwhile The Nuggets are 8-2 without Melo and 5-1 without Gallo. I don't think Denver by no means are contenders but once we get to about 15gms or so played it's pretty apparent what you are for the most part.

The next excused MDA will get is that they only played 30 games together. They need a full season.

THEY NEED A NEW COACH - NOT EXCUSES!

I'd say the team's potential has increased. We've seen how they can play against the league's best. But then they sleepwalk through the league's bottom half. They have to improve on their consistency. And I do think that the team before the trade had the benefit of training camp.

Team needs to bring effort every night on both sides of the ball

i agree w/u SC this team has been guilty of playing down to their level of competition this season on many occasions, it's a bad habit that i've seen Knicks teams of the past fall into... the '99 team was notorious for that, but they were able to turn up the level of their play in the postseason... u have to wonder if this coach is capable of getting these guys to put forth that type of focus on defense when the stakes get much higher.

Hopefully we can try to trade for Mayo during the draft.

OJ Mayo does what exactly? None of the trades you ever propose improve the team. We need a defensive big man, not a SG.

OJ Mayo is an upgrade over the SG's AND PG's we have minus Billups. PG's, SG's, and C's come at a premium in this league. We need a 3rd consistent scorer. Billups is nice for now but the guy cant be expected to play major minutes for 82 games + playoffs moving forward.

OJ Mayo
- great passer
- good shooter
- High IQ player.

OJ Mayo at PG here getting tutored by Billups would be great.
