Mike D’Antoni resigns as Knicks coach

[heat27]

Melo will never be in the same level as LeBron in terms of leading a team. Say what you want about LeBron, but give him a team like the Knicks, and he'd carry them all the way to the second round.

lebron only carries a team for 3 quarters

[heat27]

it all depends on his health...im sure the Knicks will throw a ****load of money at him


then he'll see that they have the triangle style (big) PG in Lin...that's smart..but i dont know if he has any interest in going into that greasefire

phil would put melo in his place

[BERNIE'S CORNER]

Looking forward to the Mike Woodson interim era !!!

[-Swizzy-]

even Phil wouldn't be able to save this team.

Larry Brown is the only guy out there that could turn things around.

[Carpe Diem]

Carrying a team does not equate leading a team.

having the most stats does not equate leading a team.

leading a team equates making the people around you elevate their game.

this is something both melo and lebron lack.

Who has done that? Could you name me one player who has led a team with no proven second/third options?

[Medved]

Heh.

Knicks have 2 Max stats guy's who dont know how to play team ball or any defense.

Amare is the most pathetic person on the Knicks, not even a top 5 knick player atm. For defense Amare just watches Matador videos to see how he can avoid defenders as quick as possible, dude is a joke.

Dude doesnt box out, covers his own teammates, watches plays and is definition of Fake Hustle.

Melo is "all about him". Dude doesnt care if Knicks win or lose aslong as he gets to chuck 20 times a game.

Teamwork > Max Contract Divas.

Look at Record with Melo and Stat together, its a complete joke. These guys both making more than Lebron...... LOL!

They need to trade Stat 100% and Melo 10% if he can stop being a chucker who doesnt play defense.

Trade Melo/Stat/Fields and build around

Lin
Chandler
Shumpert
Novak

Build around "team work" and get guys who can play the D and provide some hustle.

Who has done that? Could you name me one player who has led a team with no proven second/third options?

Dirk won the ring last year with a bunch of bums. How many All-Stars were on Dallas team last year? Dirk constantly puts the team on his back. Who was his 2nd option? Terry and Kidd?

Have you ever seen Terry play? He's the biggest idiot in the world, dirk could be 12-12 and Dallas losing by 3 points and Terry will chuck 10 shots in a row without passing, then commit 4 turn overs while he gives his ****** manning face expression to the camera.

Check out this stat Line from Yesterdays game:

Dallas beat Washington 107-98

Dirk: 10-14 Shooting / 28 Min played / 27 points and a +17
Terry: 10-20 Shooting / 34 min Played / 24 Points and was +3

Terry has been responsible for like 5 of Dallas losses because he either wants to play hero ball instead of giving it to Dirk or he turns it over on the final few possesions. Dude is a clown. Without Dirk he wouldve been cut 3 years ago

This is what Mike said about Melo:

It might sound surprising to a skeptical Knicks fan, but just a few weeks ago, this was a phenomenal, dignified place to work. We had a culture that revolved around teamwork, integrity and passing the ball at least three times before blindly heaving from 40 feet.

But when a certain superstar someone came back to our roster, this was no longer the case.

[the mesiah]

honestly, Mike Woodson isn't gonna be any better...Amare and Melo isn't a good dynamic IMO


what i expect now are the Phil rumors to start swirling up all over NY

Dolan will throw the kitchen sink at Phil, but Phil knows he can't win with the squad even with his ties to NY I doubt he will come back for this disaster, the only team I see him leaving his fishing in Montana is going to be Miami since he would have Wade and Robin IF spo can't get it done.the only bad there would be riles being the GM..

Knicks pregame crew went in hard on Melo.
