What got me was hearing how great the other teams players performed in the Knick losses by our Coach. The lack of timeout calls when teams made strong runs. How all teams players would just go straight to the Knicks paint over and over to freely score. The constant hoisting of the 3 ball by anyone, and the lack of rebounding offensive and defensive. The lack of assists especially the pick and roll. I felt STAT started his offense high on the blocks. Players did not attack opponents paint enough creating fouls and free throw opportunity. Lack of NY tough Coaching style.

D'Antoni is one of the worst coaches in NBA history. I've been a Knick fan for over 30 years and we cannot waste another season with this incompetent coach. He makes every player shot 3's even if they can't make them which is assinine. See Jared Jeffries for instance. Melo shot more 3's in 2 months with the Knicks than his whole career with Denver WTF. Also why in the fluck is Jeffries in the game in crunch time when he couldn't hit a ocean with a rock. IMO Sheldon Williams should have gooen a chance but only a buffone like DAntoni would not play him for 1 second FIRE D'ANTONI NOW!!!!!!!

The guy is clueless. His substitution patterns are absurd. He does not stress defense or rebounding which is what wins championships. He is supposed to be an offensive guru but his teams don't execute out of timeouts, when the game is on the line. He usually wins more than he loses but is that what NY needs. We want championships not regular season titles.

D'antoni, just needs to bring in a defensive minded assist coach. Like Mike Brown or Lawrence Frank. That system works, none of his coaching staff ever get promoted, why is that?

Let's find a real coach that knows what to do in a time out. How come Sheldon Williams did not log any minutes in the playoffs? What is so great about Jeffries that he gets all the key minutes? D'Antoni has no teaching qualities as is evident by Fields play for the last 2 months. D'Antoni leaves a player to rot at the end of the bench as he did with Randolph and Roger Mason. Need I go on...
Walsh has allowed the game to pass him by. His physical ailments have prevented him from improving the team after the trade deadline when they surrendered all of their low post players and shotblocking. Corey Brewer is still a better player than Derrick Brown and Walsh also blew the chance to add areal center.
Hire Callapari and promote someone from within to replace Walsh. Let's find a shooting guard that can start and sign Marc Gasol or Deandre Jordan or Chandler. Also bring Wilson Chandler back and buy out Billips and draft a point guard that can penetrate like Rondo.

Walsh stays. D'Antoni exits. The future is Larry Brown or Doc Rivers.

Sorry M D'Antoni, no defense. We'll never win a championship without defense. Bring back Jeff Van Gundy. I am 59 years old. It's getting late for me. If not now, then when?

YOUR NUTS IF IT WASNT FOR A FEW EJECTIONS AND A FEW BAD CALL COACH MIKE WOULD HAVE ONE AT LEAST 1 CHAMPIONSHIP WITH THE SUNS MR WALSH HAS DONE A GREAT JOB GETTING RIDE OF ALL OF MR THOMAS CRAP AND WE STILL ARE UNDER THE CAP FOR 2012 CP3 ?THE KNICKS DO PLAY DESENT D THEY JUST PLAY UPTEMPO B BALL WHICH GIVES THE OTHER TEAM MORE POSSIONS INTURN MORE SCORING OPPORTUNITY KNICKS WILL BE A SERIOUS CONTENDERS IN2012 AND 2013 LOCK !!
Mile and Donnie must go. When Mike coached the Suns they gave up more points per game than any other team. He has done the same with the Knicks. Donnie never won a championship with the Pacers or any other team. They both are bad for the Knicks. They both need to go.
