Ya'all count the losses now, especially any of the Knicks forthcoming home games at the Garden while Mike Woodson is at the helm
trying to beat people with jive about 3-pt leaders and defense strategies.

DJ and 1/2 this forum posters can outcoach Mike Woodson much less beat him in game of horse perhaps.

Woodson's lameness attitude and new found full of yourself do anything better? than making it go private-public
that Chris Copeland had to be De-activated for today's game cause you're ticked with his 'Practice ' Habits eh ?

Practice ? practice ? REALLY Mike ? really ?
Practice

Whom is Chris Copeland a rotation player ? a star ? Is Copeland a regular 1st two or three off the Knick bench regular ?
he needed to be disciplined eh ? We never ever heard such stuff of Cope's being huge issue in locker room OR newspapers, once in awhile we only heard Woodson isn't fond of Copeland.

NO WONDER we lose a game to Miami we were gonna to win!

And ya know what ? when the quiet Copeland started once OR so he produced with energy.

But now we have to live with a change which doesnt include Amare Starting ...

We get one week Steve Novacs few months back, now we're getting a dose of JAMES WHITE ? ? whom we had enough of from Nba-allstar dunk
failures.

I can see if we had a mainline guy OR some young player whom had few stats in NBA which needed some discipline
but Chris Copeland ? You give the kid a fine $$$, move on & let us fans see the youth Chris on court whom done nothing
but score in the NBA regular season same as Copeland shown in preseason to make Knick team roster.

Chris Copeland whom nba teams aint use to gave Knicks a different look, an effective presence in minor minutes
BUT WE GOTTA LIVE with JAMES WHITE and STEVE NOVACs.

As if its so bad with rest of what Woodson does, that once star Amare Stoudemire can play well in a game
(e.g. 76ers blowout in philly, today loss vs HEAT in Garden) and Stout can produce but get NO TIME in 4th qtr of game
OR at end when your superstar is doubleteam and also NOT Getting the ball from ballhog PG Raymond Felton.

We have to hear Copeland whom can score few buckets isnt available cause Mike Woodson likes to pick on little guys
with no stardom like Copelands & JR Smith, And since I'm mentioning JR Smith he seems to have lease to do whatever
he wants which Woodson allows.

When you're trying to right your ship Mike and also would like to win important game let us not have to hear
side stories about Copeland being inactive OR Kmart not being ready to play OR Camby dressed but not being ready to play
but we hear Woodson is sick of S.Novacs and seems he gets minutes regardless of the WASTED nba SPACE he offers during Knicks losses.

Its also word on street Woodson is SICK of Steve Novacs whom he plays.
Well DJ is sick of Coach Mike Woodson !

You want to remember what I'm saying here when NYK gets eliminated from nba 2013 1st round by whomever
Look no further than Coach Woodson whom more and more looks like he doesnt have a clue what to do! anymore !!

*One day we're Starting the 2nd waste of space called JAMES WHITE
*Other days we start KThomas and cannot see a Dirty Kurty sighting ever again, even against bad teams.
*Another day we hear Woodson sick privately of Novacs but Steve Novacs gets to start a few games, & Amare cannot.
*You know what Mike Woodson regular tells us on post games ? We'll its on me! this is my fault.
*Same reason we never knew why Woodson 45-50 win team coach got his tail axed in Atlanta.

That last statement about Woody saying 'Its on me' is the only truth lame coach Woodson has said the entire 2013.
Players play and coaches coach. We're stuck with Mike Woodson, good bad OR ugly.

Later when the NBA 2013 playoffs begin in month or so, we can then only recall a season where the Copeland stories, Novacs and anything else Mike garbles about wants fans to overlook than he will not try once star Amare Stoudemire as a 2nd threat option to help Melo Anthony.

Mr. Amare doesn't deserve some of this crap & neither do the smart NYK fans! If a man whom isn't starting is fine BUT plays well in a game when you're leading and at games end cannot see daylight on the floor well DJ. has big problems with that, as much as the waste
of space JAMES WHITE of all peeps starter on a Knick team needing wins!

Woodson is a bully, he tries to address fixing things such as woes of the Novacs, JR (slump in Feb.), Shump, Copeland
but are these guys really Mike going to jumpstart the Knickerbockers ? Once upon a time Mike says when took over ALL
things were gonna run thru his superstars, MELO & STOUT.

We'll 1 of 2 aint bad but Woodson lying bout' the other 50%.

My coach Woodson rant tells ya all you need to know about the coach & recent slide and I don't mean the electric slide either! LOL

knicks1248 wrote:He has amare for 30 miutes a game but plays him roughly around 20 minutes, clearly doesn't use him in the post enough to draw doubles.

his love affair with JR is getting me sick, cause even though JR is brilliant at times, and equal dumb at times.

He really does not know how to juggle is line up, he does not know how to read match ups, and im not even going to mention martin and camby and prigs.

his adjustments are horrible, suspect at best

Amare looks and sounds like he's getting real pissed off at getting benched at the ends of games. And JR is a guy you're supposed to ride if he's hot and bench if he's off but Woodson insists on riding him no matter what. He very clearly is terrible at in-game and in-season adjustments.

The best Line up for the Knicks is:
Felton
Smith
Chandler
Amare
Melo

I don't want to get on Woody, but some of the lineups were suspect at best. It was almost like he was fearful of delivering a knockout blow to the Heat. He should not of come out with the starting lineup again in the second half. The Heat coaches are very good at adjustments and it is almost better if the Knicks were losing at half or leading by very little. You know Woody said keep doing what you are doing at half probably wasn't thinking what the Heat adjustments would be.

Pathetic ?
what kind of response is that ?

where significant min. have you seen where Copeland cost knicks a quarter OR a whole game loss ?

You cant answer that cause rest of team s_ux defender wise as well

Fact of matter cope isnt only defensive cultprits and on a team with imperfections if you gotta mentioned pathetic D at SF
at least justify the oncourt time to LOSSEs, this man doesnt play

He dont play cause Woodson failed to develop him & Woody doesnt know what he is doing.

One day the defense gotta do better Woody says, next time he cites D' is fine we gotta fix the offense

He (woody) is single most reason for Knicks not having ANY IDENTITY & whole NBA knows it!

how can u not establish what 1 thing knickerbockers does well in nba?
Three-pt specialist ?

You cant win NBA title being 3pt experts which NY isnt & play no D'

Cope isnt a starter NOR a prime role player off bench,
he's N/A when it comes to his defending costing a game and of course any new young player in nba
can learn his deficiencies which Cope has knock for D' ..but dont blame Chris for whole team being poor at D too!

knickscity wrote:Copeland is garbage though, never would have made the NBA if we didn't scoop him up.

That doesn’t mean Copeland cannot contribute for a NBA team (he does have some NBA skills), I guess he is too young and unproven for this Knicks team (cough Lin cough). Hopefully Copeland will get his chance when he turns 40 years old and is ready to play limited minutes due to injuries and back spasm. LOL

At least he can space the floor for Melo because he can knock down open jumpers
