This team has given up.

I don't see Melo staying, I think he leaves.

Hard to say. Woodson was fine last year when the team won 54. This year he lost his gm and his authority/control in all aspects was taken from him. The team never overcame the meddling that started the night before training camp. Not many coaches can be successful when they are told who makes their team, who starts, who can play when and how many minutes. J V G, S V G, Thibs etc. wouldn't be effective if they didnt have control of their team in regards to who gets cut who sits who starts who plays when and how many minutes. Woodson needs to go because he was emasculated by new management/ownership. However, the Knicks should just hire herb if the meddling is going to continue.

You don't know that though, it's all speculation. What we do know is what we see on the court, which are poor coaching decisions such as overplaying your starters in blowout games, mismanaging and even admitting that you are oblivious to late-gane situational tactics (2 for 1 anyone?), poor rotations in response to the flow of the game, inability to orchestrate a somewhat effective defense, not knowing when and how to use timeouts, throwing players under the bus. Woodson sucks, and all the coaches you listed would absolutely do better. Dolan is not an easy man to work for, but as an employee you can't just write off all your failures, failures that are based on your ignorance of fundamental knowledge relevant to your position, and then turn around and say 'well I have a mean boss so....."

you got others involved in player personel like Hughes, Winkydink, and Gabriel.

Every time a game ends bad the "fire Woodson, fire mills" is just emotional fan spewing emotion.

Then the next poster thinks they all in the know.

Same thinking Melo leaves after every loss.

Don't matter what we think BTW, and we not allowed a peak into MSG thinking.

Only saw the highlights, but does it look like Tyson Chandler spends lots of time watching people dunk and not caring?
Please foul out. Just once.

Knicks got spanked, made a nice run before half, kept it close for a bit then Mia exploded in the 3rd and never looked back. Melo got his, but failed to get the guards to shoot well. Melo let Hardway get used by Wade. He let Felton and Prigs get constantly beat off the dribble. He didnt teach Amare how to be dominant again, and he STILL HASNT taught Tyson a freakin jump shot. So the usual...

I like how he taught Tyson to preen after every dunk though. And pushing his own backcourt players around after they get torched while he watches. I'm sure Melo gave him pointers on how to properly admire people like Ray Allen as they drive by.

I'm sure things will turn around once Melo also gets Woody to understand how to use his bench better, changes the cap space mess that he alone created, gives enough money back to the franchise to make up for forcing the 28-26 team that was going to build a dynasty here with the assets and cap space we gave away for a douche who can only score, rebound and block a few shots. Only 4 assists. what a fuhuckin loser.
