The 2012 New York Knicks: The Filler Year?

No. What did he say?

The sky is blue and all is well?

Didn't see the OKC game but...has Amare checked out?

I can't discern whether his problem is more with D'Antoni or Melo.

Didn't watch the game either but I don't know what's going on with this guy.

He just seems disinterested when I do watch the games. His moments of intense joy seem forced too.

If I had to guess he probably sees how awful D'Antoni's "offense" is and isn't happy with how the team is being utilized. Who can be?

I think its time for D'Antoni to go.

I'll be at the game today. This team has been a disappointment.

Also it's not like Amare is taking bad shots or shots (aside from the 3s) he can't make. That elbow jumper is money and he was sinking those shots last year (and I didn't hear any complaints then).

And yes the P&R needs to return....if we aren't going to run the "staple" of Pringles' offense why is he still here?

I haven't been able to watch the last two games but if the jumper is not falling Amare needs to attack the basket. Why can't we get a consistent pick and roll going for Amare. Maybe some Melo & Amare pick& roll?

He basically laughed about how he didn't have a gameplan for kd.

Oh, and today he said at least they held orl to 102 we just need to score more.
How about play some d? We get burnt with the needless switching. And stat doesn't crash boards at all. Best squad I've seen on the floor is shump,fields,walker,harrelson and chandler. Melo and stat need to step up their leadership.

You notice the lack of team chemistry? No high fives or anything. Very disappointing right now.

We have the tools to score we need a defensive no bs coach. If the stars don't want to play d they sit. And the fact we don't use the bench scares me. Dantoni going to burn these dudes legs out.

The way things are going, Knicks may be out of it by the time Davis comes back. Even then, it'll take a while for him to adjust to his teamates, and vice versa.

If it means anything, I, and a bunch of others in section 420 started a 'fire Dantoni' chant.

Disgusting game. You let Orlando space you out, wth. Guys were open for 3s the entire 2nd half, abysmal.

Our offense is good in spurts.

The problem is Antonio or Amare, pick one.

I'm tired of seeing guys timid of shooting. Douglas could be wide open and hell dish it off or pump fake and shoot a runner. Jesus I'm so mad today.

9-27 FG, really?

I think the top 9 teams in each conference are fighting for those spots. Knicks will be in the playoff conversation. I just don't think they'll be anywhere close to top 4. It's entirely possible they'll have to beat out Cleveland for the 8th spot.

They invested way too much in Amare. It will be D'Antoni who will go.

Amare is not being used effectively. He should be getting just as many touches as Melo. Melo is taking way too many shots. Is Melo not a good spot up shooter??
Why aren't they running screens for easy open shots for him?

Re: The 2012 New York Knicks: The Filler Year?

As much as I loved the Chandler deal, I didn't realize how much Amare needs a pg to run the show. What's done is done. Really hope that Baron can run the pick & roll with Amare.
