i like what chaney said. we lost but we competed. what the hell is that? competed? an "L" is an "L". it does not matter if you lost by one or 30, it is another in the loss column. enough of these moral victories. if they were coached better they should have won. i used to defend chaney. i can't anymore. they are all so lethargic and ho hum about losses, even the frigging coach. last year, you can say there were " moral victories" because we were so undermanned. now, like larry brown said, there are no excuses. chaney need to go into practice and rip some heads off.
Count me as another former Chaney defender. A quarter of the way through the season and he still doesn't know who he wants to play. Since Dice came back he's got Doleac on the bench and he's playing Spoon and Harrington more. I thought Doleac was playing well?!? Why bench him?
He does have a poorly contructed team without a real starting point guard, but he's got some pretty good players. I believe that a good coach would have motivated these guys to a few more wins - maybe had this team at .500.
I'm not upset the Knicks lost to the Lakers -- nobody expects them to beat them. But many of these other games were winable.
