And that's on Woody. Some suck ass coaching from him this season. Why is he still employed?

We still looked awful and were lucky to get the win.

Wow, Woody's eyes were bloodshot in the mid game interview- looks like he knows he's one loss away.

The ball moves the whole game and then when it gets close it stops. Melo - YOU NEED TO SEE THIS. This is a disease that follows you around. It makes you look worse, not better!

JR is a thug and if he isn't scoring, there is no reason for him to be on the court. Horrible contract. Stupid move by the Knicks. Woodson should have benched him the rest of the game.

Prigs is better than Felton. Murry needs a chance to play.

Hardaway? I just like this kid. He can hit a shot. Decision making needs to improve but the talent is there. His Pops will straighten him out.

Stat looked good. He is one play away from being out 3 months again but until that happens (probably March or April) use him. He can at least score efficiently.

Bargniani.....ouch! WTF?

Chandler will heal the team in many ways. If and only if Woodson can change the backcourt to Progs/Hardaway/Murry and Shumpert with JR and Felton getting little to no burn, then they can start winning again.

Carmelo on his teammates: “I believe in them just as much as they believe in me. They’ve got to know that. They’ve got to believe that.”

Melo, on the late-game isolations: “Guys are kinda waiting around for me to do something. … We’ve gotta get away from that. And we will.”

The offense started shutting down long before the isos late in the game with Udrih then kept going down hill with Prigs taking 15-17 seconds to get into the offense. I personally do not have a problem with Isos if their is player movement to go alnog with it. Their should be cuts and screens set for players weak side. Now if you are not going to do that as a coach then you need to run the PnR with Melo in late game situations.

Because the Knicks aren't going to bring in a new coach until Tyson is back

why would that make any sense bro? if you're going to fire the coach you don't wait. it takes time for a coach to come in and get a feel for the team and get his point across.. timing it with a player returning from injury makes ZERO sense.

You might be right but there's gotta be a reason Woodson is still the coach at 6-15. Maybe it's the ties to CAA. Mike Brown 60 game winner was fired by the lakers after 4 games last year

listen, i love a good conspiracy theory and i want woodson out more than anyone. i dont think changing the coach is necessarily going to do anything, but i just happen to think that woodson is not a very good head coach. it's not ties to CAA, it probably has more to do with dolan giving him a contract extension before the year and not wanting to fire him and then have to continue to pay him after the extension.

I wish the Knicks had the fortune of Amar'e and Melo playing well together when Amar'e wasn't a shattered pile of glass... but they are finally gelling. We're playing the 'if' game now - but if you're going to play it, might as well be the year when there's only two good teams in the Eastern Conference

Yeah- the sad thing is I'm still an Amar'e homer despite all of the injuries and abysmal defense.

I am just wondering, how he will do that?

just curious, how did you come to that conclusion after one game?

it hasn't been one game.. amear and melo have looked good together the past few games now.
