The shorter his rotation the better, it's always been like that..The longer the rotation, the more guys are going to start questioning there roles..

You can't even run with this group cause they don't execute fast breaks with any consistancy,passes come to high, to low on PnR, some of the ally opps look great other times looks embarassing.

Were having training camp in the middle of the season..Now your screaming Melo and amare suck cause there struggling to to put it together, it's the coaches job to put those pieces were there going to work best..

I likee MDA and I like his philosphy, but he literally has his hands full..I don't know if there was ever a team that was too deep, but this may be the case..

Your really can't bench any of the 10 guys either, theres just not enough 2 way players on this team..

It's not just amare and melo shooting poorly, JR smith join this roster a career 39% 3 point shooter, and has shot atrocious 3 for 21 coming into tonight,even lins shooting % has taken a dip..

It's either guys are not getting enough touchs to get in rythem, guys aren't getting the ball in there sweet spots ENOUGH, and Amare (who always gets going when the team is running and he's getting easy dunks) has turn into a half court player with out the luxury of decent PnR consistantly.

when we trap, we are a far better defensive team, still trying to figure out when MDA is going to wake the fck up and tell his bigs to stop swtching on every single play.

The bottom line, if we don't run our problems will continue to mount..It's exactly how the heat solved there problems (and the fact that wade and bron are great passers) they decided to run every single chance they get..Lin wouldn't run in to so much traffic if he doesn't slow down when he crosses half court.

This has all happened since Melo's return. Coaches experiments are NOT working. LIN must be on the attack...if he you won't allow that you might was well sit him. He is not effective over the course of a game when he is not attacking. When he was attacking for close to 40 minutes a game it wore on the defensives and the Knicks would lose some battles through his turnovers..but win the WAR.

Let's get one thing straight, the lack of D is not on MDA. If you watched the team play during Linsanity, you saw this team defend at a high level. WHY? Cuz MDA was able to play rotations that feature our best defensive players. During the run before things changed, the Knicks D was playing at the top of the league. Mostly all year the D hasn't been bad. Right now this team is still a good defensive team statistically.

As for playing 11 guys, with a team this deep and with such a grueling schedule, it's almost a necessity. he has to get these players used to playing like this. The Spurs play a ton of guys and they've been doing it for 2 years now and are used to it. Besides being together longer and with training camp together which MDA hasn't had the benefit of having all these players together. This team will eventually figure it out and play better as a team.

MDA plays 8-man rotation: he's burning players out, what an idiot.

MDA plays 10, or 11-man rotation: what a moron, that's way too many players.

lol. funny. but they're serious.
