HE SHOULD NEVER WEAR THE KNICKS JERSEY AGAIN.

Can we at least find out what's going on first before passing judgement like this.

Yeah I don't think the guys can stand Kurt. Or minimally tune him out. I think Phil saw that at the triangle workshop last summer and realized he couldn't hire him as the head coach.

Yep. Rambis hasn't done jack to prove he is a good coach for this team. Has a job only through pure nepotism.

Im starting to think hornacek may resign, what team in the NBA announce they had a defensive coordinator..lol and in the last 7 games we have gone away from P/R, and have been running the triangle more, although better then at any point since jacksons been here.

Rose clearly doesn't like the system, and he shouldn't..

I said that when they announced it after six games in the season - Phil totally undercut the authority of Hornacek.

Now we have a player not showing up to play in a game... because the coach benched him. Phil created this unclear chain of command. He created this situation by how he handled Rambis.

I just want Rambis gone. I don't even know to what extent he is having a negative impact on the team but he doesn't communicate well with the players, looks like a he is a rat for Phil, and I believe is the only guy on Jeff's staff that Jeff didn't pick.

What does Rambis have to do with anything?..Scapegoat?..Rambis is preventing JH from coaching well?

Just evidence of the flawed management structure Phil has installed. And Phil named him the defensive coach and our defense is one of the worst in the league. He should be re-assigned.

Phil made him the defensive coach or did Hornacek?

He is supposed to be coaching the defense which sucks. Melo came out and said guys don't like the defense they are playing but they have to suck it up and play it. Also, I just don't see it as a good situation when the guy that had the job the year before is named the associate head coach for the new coach.

The indictment for me is when Lee said they were practicing defense against the triangle only..JH was in charge then..

So isn't that Phil's fault?..And why was he named defensive coach, wasn't it becuase the defense sucked with JH as it was in PHX?

It was after game six of the season, the 114=109 loss to Utah, that's all I remember.

Is there any chance he can get Melo to retire with him?

I am sorry but I am done with this team until Melo is traded.

This malaise has been around the team since he got here except for one season when Kidd led the team.

Melo. is the constant. The other constant is awful play on D and offense.

Great, see ya in three years!

I am starting to believe Melo will waive his NTC. He has to have had it after this especially if the Rose stuff is true.

Immense talent but a team killer.

How did our bigs defend today? How did KP play? Do we have a PG? .....I'll wait

The bigs were not as bad as Davis is good. The perimeter D is giving 3's at record pace.

They still do not have a traditional of but they are better than last year.

There is a team chemistry problem.

kP was awful tonight. If he does not develop a low post game, he will never get to his full potential

Agree on all. Except that we would be better off if Melo and Rose retired. Everyone loves long shots like Willy, Ron, Kuz and any possible draft lotto pick. But at end of the day, they are just not very good and have little chance of being anything more than bench players. I do hope KP gets a post up game. Starting to think the real unicorns are 7 footers that play a traditional center position. Aka KAT and Davis. Tired of all the emphasis on stretch 5's and 4's. Think they will be a dime a dozen. Our major problem is we have no one that plays good fundamental defense. Mostly because our 3.4 and 5 are playing out of position. Yes including Noah, can't defend quicker centers.

I can't disagree with anything you say.

Kuz, billy, baker, Jennings, HOliday are nice but they are not stars.

Noah has been a bust. Too slow and no offense.

Watching Jennings now and he seems like a good guy. Talking very well.
