Mike D Antoni resigns as Head coach of the Knicks!

[alenleomessi]

Lol on twitter this was up...

"Mike D'Antoni to the Clippers now has to be an inevitability. He may as well buy his plane tix now."

I think offensively he would do wonders for CP3+Griffin like he did for Nash/Amare but defensively?

I would kill myself

[Jordan23GOAT]

As much as I think run and gun is a beautiful way to play. He ran and gunned that offense to the ground. Good decision.

So the Knicks fans here finally got what they wanted.. Let's see if they were right and it was really all his fault.

As long as Melo is there, the Knicks will continue to spiral downward..

[Scoooter]

? I'm confused? Aren't the Knicks losing because Melo refuses to be a spot up shooter and keeps attacking the rim and posting up, hence ruining D'Antoni spacing?

That and, when he does play his way, he can't make layups or draw fouls effectively anymore. Unless he was purposely playing like shit to get D'antoni fired, which we probably can't put past him.

It was, at least partially. Anyone saying it's all him is being intellectually dishonest with themselves, but anyone arguing he was a positive needs to explain to me how.

He didn't hold anyone accountable ever, he favored offensive players over defensive players to a fault (he removed Schumbert from the rotation before JR Smith even though he's our best defender), he showed no flexibility (we could have every guard hurt and only centers and we'd still run) and his in game decisions were bizarre (fouling or not fouling, removing players when they were hot, etc.)

He was a terrible coach. Melo's been a terrible player. Neither one excuses the other though.

isn't that mike brown?

That's his brother lol. We were calling Woodson Mr Potato head before Brown ever got a head coaching job.

Nothing can stop us now

[Blue&Orange]

The offense was iso after iso (i am sure Melo will love that) and they switched everything defensively when allowed the other teams to get mismatches whenever they wanted.

Knicks also switch everything defensively, and it drives me mad, but right now i coudn't care less how bad Woodson is, D'Antoni is gone.

Its gonna be so much fun when you guys start regreting Pringles .

You think some coach is going to come and magically teach Melo and Amare how to defend? Have you not seen Melo, lets call it "run"? Guy can barelly move. Was it D'antony's fault that Melo cant shoot anymore and Amare doesnt know his own place on the field (after having big succes under D'antony before)? D'ANTONY'S fault that Chandler cant make a simple lay up? His fault that Shumpert and JR Smith take more bad shots then Jason Williams? Hell, Jr cant even lay it up anymore .

When the young guys were in, Knicks actually played good. Jeffries didnt seem like a scrub at all and did well in defence. Lin and Fields moved the ball all over. Shumpert was decent. Novak was great. Seemed like even Chandler played better. Who's fault was it then when the knicks played good?

Anyway, we'll see what happens. Should be lots of fun .

no if he just got the ball and attacked the rim or put up a shot instead of holding the ball and creating his own jumpshot on like he always does he would have fit into the offense. he kills the ball movement with his isos

no wayyyy!!!!! I'm so happy!!!! championship cruise baby
