The Knicks don't have a draft pick so the pretty much have to salvage the season.

Woodson is going all in with JR apparently, hard to feel bad for him when he adopts that strategy, knowing what he knows about JR. Got fined 25k for another example of why Smith should have been cut loose.

Firing Woodson at this point is just trying to find a scapegoat for injuries, poor play and bad management.

Herb? No way man. Got to go outside the organization on this one. Scott Skiles, Del Negro, Byron Scott, SVG. Someone who will bring a new brand of basketball, that uses perpetual motion execution offense.

Do you really think a motion offense is what is ailing this franchise?

No, my brotha from another mother... this story is much deeper than an offensive scheme. It is a fundamental structural and organization issue that no coach can control.

I miss Mark Jackson

Can't say Woody didn't make his own bed. Instead of giving Shump the vote of confidence he unnecessarily rode him and for what JR Smith and Chris Smith. Playing favoritism is toxic in a team environment.

Sometimes Shump deserves to be chewed out but sometimes Woodson singles him out too much.

I am not sure about Woodson being all in with JR. I think his position has been compromised a lot this year and I don't think he has autonomy. I think JR was promised a starters role and possibly a roster spot for his brother. I think Woodson isn't going with the two point line up because he knows Shump deserves to be starting.

That makes Woody a lame duck coach. No way a team respects that. Does Woody wipe Dolan's azz too.

I don't think you could find a lamer duck then Herb in an interim position. Is that what you want?

Please God not Herb.

You forgot Lionel Hollins dude.

In my opinion SVG and Skiles are the only good coaches on that list. Again, guys don't take jobs midseason other than D'Antoni. Knicks go with interim if Woodson is out. Ask yourself if you want things to get better or if you think Herb is the answer?
