Re: Mike D Antoni resigns as Head coach of the Knicks!
[QUOTE=Blue&Orange]What isos? Happened like 3 times since he returned from the injury.
Seriously the anti-Melo crowd, is one facepalm after another.[/QUOTE]
are you kidding me? melo's whole game is based off the iso. hes an isolation player. has he cut down lately, yes but he gets the ball and he sets and looks around and looks for a way to get his shot up. im not an anti melo person, i just know he wasnt a good fit in the offense they were trying to run. you honestly think that the problem was him taking the ball to to rim? :facepalm

[QUOTE=blacknapalm]lin is going to be an afterthought and melo gets his way[/QUOTE]
I think not. That's what was happening before Linsanity, and the team sucked. They can't win without ball movement and defense. Melo doesn't help either, nor does Stat.
Getting rid of Pringles was the right move, but roster changes also have to be made.
Re: Mike D Antoni resigns as Head coach of the Knicks!
Knicks dont play defense. Other than Tyson and Lin I see very few genuine attempts on the defensive side. Melo is the best offensive player in the NBA for you guys(Knicks Fans) to really say he is a cancer and a bum just show how much why I consider the entire Knick fanbase the worst ever.
Your problem isnt gonna be fixed by the time the playoffs start. You need a defensive minded coach and vocal defensive anchor on your team.
Re: Mike D Antoni resigns as Head coach of the Knicks!
[QUOTE=Sarcastic]Exactly. Melo has taken fewer shots than any point in his career except maybe first 2 years, and averaging more assists than he ever has, [B]but he is stopping the flow.[/B] :facepalm
Fack, these Lindiots are annoying.[/QUOTE]
thats the whole point..... youre just contradicting yourself

Keep yourself ignorant. I don't care.
Re: Mike D Antoni resigns as Head coach of the Knicks!
Am I retarded for wanting Del Negro fired and D'Antoni hired for the rest of the year?
Re: Mike D Antoni resigns as Head coach of the Knicks!
[QUOTE=BrooklynZoo]dantonis offense was catered to PGs like Lin... if anything, this, at first glance at least, is not beneficial to Lin's game[/QUOTE]
Definitely, especially if they bring in a coach like Jerry Sloan. Linsanity under D'Antoni was an exciting and fun brand of basketball. They would not have been championship contenders, but they were better than most.

but that's exactly what mike woodson is all about. melo had to adapt and instead of doing that, he disagreed and pouted. now he's going to go back to his iso game. even if you think MDA was a problem, woodson is no real step up. sloan? got pushed out by deron so why would he be excited for melo/amare?

i'm no fan of VDN at all but i don't think LA has the shooters to excel in an MDA system

Melo kills ball movement and holds the ball and D'Antoni envisioned him holding it even more the ball!!! :roll: And so it happened, just look to the beggining of this season, Melo done everything he was asked, but hey it's all his fault.

Yes. Blake Griffin will no longer be dunking. He will be shooting threes.
