I was one of the ones screaming the loudest about Cope not getting playing time. I really felt that all season Woody was being too hard on him. Novak is an even worse defender and got to play. I think Cope showed much more versatility as a player too. He could put the ball on the floor and get to the basket, post up as well as shoot the 3. Now we have to watch him playing for our nemesis.
Also Grunwald did a good job picking him up, but a bad job in not being able to secure Cope after developing this player. It's not the end of the world, but I don't like it. |

If Cope dosen't come back it will be mainly because of Woody. Woody is a selfish coach and he is making some of the player just like him. No matter how bad JR was playing he kept him in there. And his no set plays drives me up the wall. Just give the ball to Melo or give the ball to JR and let him run around for 20 seconds with no one else touching the ball. Something must be going on because Copeland have not signed an offer sheet. If we don't have a second scorer we are done. Papabear

Papabear Says
I wonder how Woody feels after a NBA coach calls him out on this Copeland thing. Papabear

Nothing more than a case of Monday morning quarterback. Had Copeland played more minutes and shot 30% from the field people would be screaming that he shouldn't have played Copeland.

Woody needs to learn to trust players better and that regular.season stuff which is gold for him doesn't carry in the playoffs. It's pretty obvious Woody didn't realize what he had in Cope. |

SERIOUSLY he could be the perfect complement next to Melo if he had the green light like JR Smith had. Look how he abused Hibbert and the other PF's on the perimiter
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

I'm happy for Copeland. He now gets a chance to play for a great young coaching mind with superior IQ. He will get the most out of Cope's skills

If he was allowed to play like he should have he would have helped make our other scorers get easier shots.
