    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    Rondo probably would have been a bad fit for our group at the time. Mike was probably right in his evaluation. I still wish he would have picked him. We needed a back up for Nash badly and never found one. [Again, same scenario applied. It was a combination of wanting to save money and...

    OT: Amare/Howard swap being discussed

    I tend to agree with you that he and Williams will somehow end up in Dallas. However I really don't know how you can possibly build a TEAM with 3 max guys on the roster. That leaves the team with only Mid level and Minimum players to fill out the roster. I think you can really only afford...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    I really think you are the irrational one in the conversation. Griffin and I have never claimed Mike to be perfect and wish he would have handled certain situations and player rotations differently. He wasn't and isn't perfect. However you keep trying to justify that he sucked with false...

    OT: Amare/Howard swap being discussed

    The great Dwight Howard and that great team I claimed he had behind him put 56 points on the board tonight. That has to be some sort of record low, doesn't it. GS is beating the hell out of Memphis. This league is nutso

    OT: Amare/Howard swap being discussed

    I really do not know why he wants to go anywhere. If he goes to LA. The Lakers will have $47 Million commited to 2 players. They could be awful. Even if Williams agree to take a cut in pay and joins them in LA, would they field a better team than he already is on? This super team stuff is...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    Also, I never argued that D'Antoni was a good GM. So why didn't Sarver hire a real GM right away? What possible (financial) advantage to the owner could there be from having one person fill two positions? Thanks for adressing Mikes tenure as GM. The bad moves were always blamed on Coach D. Some...

    OT: Amare/Howard swap being discussed

    It generally is not a good idea to lose your best player for nothing in return. How is that working out for the Suns? How about the Cavaliers? How about the Raptors? I know there is an issue with Amare's health, I get it. However Amare is very active in the community in Orlando and at...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    Some people cannot be convinced even when presented with the facts. I am now totally convinced that Mike is the sole problem that New York has. That roster is stellar. He is playing 9 or 10 guys on most nights tring to find 7 or 8 that can play. If he would play 12 guys everything would be...

    OT: Amare/Howard swap being discussed

    Chandler can be traded on March 1st. By that time the Knicks could be so bad that Dolan will include Isiah.

    OT: Amare/Howard swap being discussed

    I heard Melo is loving it. He has been told he will be able to take 65 shots per night because Dwight is such a great defender, he no longer needs to worry of distributing the basketball or the other team ever scoring. I would ask for Shumpert and a 1st in addition to Amare and Chandler...

    I agree with that.

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    It is not necessarily you. There are others though, that post on the internet, that would like to see Amare blow out his knee for this season and future seasons. I think that is to justify Sarver's decision not to agree with meeting the Knicks offer, which they supported. Amare decided to take...

    Around the League

    The Heat appeared to be the out and out favorite to win it all this year but who knows They got beat today by Milwaukee. I do not remember when there just has not been a clear cut favorite to win the Championship. This years appears to be wide open so this really could be a wild time at the...

    Around the League

    Lakers go down to third straight defeat. Wow There are a lot of teams struggling. Indiana could be a factor in the East when all is said and done.

    2012 All Star Voting

    I voted West Gortat Dirk Love Nash Rubio East Howard Amare Lebron Wade Rose I would love to watch Nash and Rubio together. I guess I should have given them Griffin. Well the Coaches will probably vote him in for me.

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    He played him, just not enough. He vitually never played KT and Amare together, it drove me nuts. Coach D was certainly not perfect, but who is? He did provide a platform that created enormously exciting basketball during his tenure as our head coach. He deserves to be critiqued but...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    Thank you Great recap, nice work. He had no bench to play other than his "on" 7 starters. Which of those guys that he didn't play are on another team? Still have not heard those names. That blame falls directly on the GM and owner not the Coach, doesn't it? Rather than demanding that he...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    This is what I really do not understand. What player did D'Antonni not play that went elsewhere and excelled or is still playing in the league? I really do not know whom these players might be. But he still gets called out for not playing and developing his bench. He basically had no bench...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    http://espn.go.com/blog/new-york/knicks/post/_/id/10170/melo-its-on-me-to-get-amare-involved I guess I am not the only one sticking up for Amare. Chandler is gently calling out Melo. Get Amare more Shots. The fans were booing him pretty good until he made enough shots for them to lose in...

    Trading Nash (Realistic Possibilities)

    Dirk, Howard and Williams is scarier. I know the problem with getting enough room under the cap. However Cuban will get it done if possible. Those three would compliment each other unbelievably well, or so it appears. I would think they would not have any trouble attracting the additional...

    Marcin Gortat

    Forgetting about their salary for a minute. I always thought Rashard would have been a nice piece to add to our roster at the right price. Price is not the issue with Carmelo. I really do not understand why any teammate would want to play with him. What did he accomplish in Denver? They...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    He was looking that way prior to the acquisition of Carmelo and the destruction to the rest of their roster. Amare was never a ball hog in Phoenix and only took good shots that were within the offense. That was probably his biggest strength. When he took a shot he had the highest return on...

    Anyone feel bad for Mike D'Antoni?

    I don't feel sorry for Coach D'Antonni or Amare. I feel sorry for Phoenix Suns Fans and Steve Nash. I feel sorry that Robert Sarver bought this franchise and proceeded to destroy and disassemble the "Fantastic Four" (Nash, Amare, Shawn and Johnson) while not supporting the roster with...

    Marcin Gortat

    What really happened is that Melo forced the whole deal. Surely he wanted New York but he did not want to take a pay cut either. If New York does not make that deal he could still be in Denver. That is why Dolan pulled the trigger on the deal. The Knicks got raped becaucse Denver worked them and...

    Trading Nash (Realistic Possibilities)

    You know Nash is going to screw up our draft position if we keep him. He is playing far too well.
