Its going to slow Curry's comeback and contributions next year. He's rested. He's fed. Dudes ready to break out. Cant do that in MDA's doghouse

3rd? hour? Day? Practice?

the biggest issue is that this team will never be a good defensive team as long as he's our head coach.

It has nothing to do with Mike D'Antoni. Eddy Curry is a useless piece of garbage who would be eating frozen pizza and drinking beer in a roach infested basement somewhere if he wasn't 6'10". He has no heart or self respect.

he's gonna be star. Eddy is going to show up in shape for running and gunning. This coach/player relationship is going to blossom to the tune of Iverson and Larry. Maybe not a match in heaven but one that will produce many playoff wins. I think anyone that doesnt see this isnt paying attention.

Hogwash. We had games THIS YEAR where we played outstanding defense. I agree that MDA isn't going to "teach" defense or coach it from the sidelines. But that hardly means he doesn't care about it. Defense is much more about heart than finesse/skill. You have to be motivated to win in order to play solid D, but it's not rocket science. It requires hustle, tenacity, exertion. These things are hard to muster up when your team of cast-offs sucks and the whole roster is subject to turnover. Get a solid core and a steady rotation with a couple of superstars and MDAs team will play terrific defense because they will be MOTIVATED to win.

It's time to stop scapegoating MDA for our current state of suckiness. This season and last was part of Donnie's plan to rebuild our team. MDA will shine as a head coach once given a roster that can contend. And they will certainly play solid D. They won't be at the Celtics/Lakers level in the first year, but they will bring the required intensity to stop the other team from scoring at will.

Knicks need to go out and find a Center and MDA needs to teach defense or hire coaching help for this.


Curry and MDA dont get along like milk & orange juice.

It totally is. I guess my timing was bad. I was bored and was hoping for some guys to start attacking poor Eddy. I figured what better way to kill time than pretend Eddy is going to be a good basketball player? Nobody really took the bait. Oh well.

He loses 65% of the games when Nash isn't his point guard. He doesn't coach d. He doesn't want to coach or play rookies. He is extremely rigid. He appears to believe he has no accountability for his teams lack of success. He doesn't like to practice. He doesn't like big men because they, "slow the game down'. He has communication issues. He does not want to be an authority figure. He has unreasonable requirements of character, maturity, and professionalism for his players that are more important to him than talent and potential. He does not want to teach players.

Every player wants to score, to be Mike, to be Kobe, Dr.J etc scoring is a personal victory. Defense is a team mentality. It is the blue collar portion of basketball. It isn't glamorous but it is neccessary for a team to win. Getting a group of guys to buy into a team mentality where tough defense is played for team goals is part of a good coaches job. Scouting, preparing your team to play defense and take away teams strengths is not glamorous for a coach but it is what successful and championship coaches do. D'Antoni was blessed with one of the most talented distributors in basketball during the winning portion of his tenure in Phoenix. In my opinion he has parlayed his time with Nash into a second big paycheck that he will never live up to. D'Antoni doesn't scout and he doesn't coach defense. Opposing coaches have been quoted as saying that they changed their offense but it wouldn't matter because D'Antoni doesn't scout or prepare for opposing teams so his team would not be ready for their adjustments.
