And you don't think the coaching might be an issue?

Yeah. Just saying. You gotta be kidding me.

I don't think the Knicks can afford to fire another coach, especially now... but man... I miss Fisher.

Hate?
Why doesn't Melo and the team pass the ball like this consistently?
Why does it take an embarrassing loss to the Lakers and Phil agreeing with an article questioning Melos desire to win for them to play the right way on offense?

And defense still sucks from Melo, Rose and company. We just don't move quick enough into spots defensively.

Why doesn't Melo start all games like tonight? He didn't have a shot well into the Q.
Rose is passing tonight
KP is benefiting
We are killling it

And of course not enough defense.

The ball is moving and they're pushing the tempo. All things we've been screaming about. Sadly they still aren't defending. This hasn't changed my mind.

You're not the one with the no trade clause.

As per Isola tweet

He did and we played better D

If better D means Kuz fouling D. Jordan away from the ball then thats tank-tastic.

COME THE F ON MAN! You really think that is Horny's fault???

I don't think he's done a good job this season. I like him... but he's done a poor job coaching the team. Phil has put him in a bad situation on several fronts though, creating the Melodrama, not disciplining Rose for going AWOL, forcing him to let Rambis be the defensive coach.

But, yeah, well coached teams know the rules and the game situations.

True on ball movement from Melo lately. Think he can do better and did last year. Cant tell you why.

Defense. Please stop saying its just one or two players. You need a lot of ****ups to give up 68 Points! Your boy included.

you do know Austin is a below average basketball player regardless of his age so it would have been a waste of money regardless. Why pay big bucks to players when you can get cheaper guys to do what they do?.

Exactly. He's not that good, or willing, a passer and his D is meh. How would that have solved any of our team weaknesses. But he's young and has a nice crossover...

He's actually a very good passer. He's a great pick and roll player if you're watching him.

You can't seriously scout any guard while he's playing against the Knicks...Seth Curry would be an all star if you did that. He's a bit of a black hole and the season stats back that up. And his D is suspect. How would his presence address any of our major weaknesses?

Good coaching staffs alert their players of the foul situations when closing the qtrs to let them know not to foul or be so aggressive.
