The game is almost over, I am sure he will get the lion share of the pounding. Deserved? Arguable.
I do think he needs to pass more but when he does, there is no scoring.
How to fix that? Hopefully with better players around him and a bit more selflessness by him.
He is NO Lebron and who ever says he is, is insane. However, nobody is Lebron.
Better make a thread for Woodson too. Even tho his team is clearly under manned against the leagues best
I don't blame Melo. This is what Woody wants...this is what you sow. Melo is an unbelievable player and scorer when engaged, but he will never carry the Knicks all alone through a series.
He doesn't need to pass more. He just needs to take better shots. He is what he is. I don't expect change from a player with an 8 to 10 year record.

Eh ... Woodson underperformed in the playoffs. I think he could have run better sets as much as I hate to agree with Nixluva
I know that he does not have a team but I still think he could have done better.
Don't understand why Stat did not run more PnR with Melo - I saw them just do it now in the 4th and it worked but for the most part he is sending Melo 1 on 1 against Lebron and 4 helpers

With Lebron guarding him (who shut down Rose)? And all the helpers?
What is woodson going to do make novak run faster to get open against the Heat?

Oh
I'm OK with Melo. Melo has some things to work on and I think this will fuel him to do that. What we need is to get Lin healthy and train him up over the summer and GET ANOTHER PG in here. In fact we need 2 more PG's with athletic ability and defensive prowess. I want this team to be a shutdown defensive team next year, but the way it's built now they can't be a high scoring team. It's easier to find great athletes that have length and lateral quickness. No more ancient old PG's. There have to be some sleepers coming out next year or in the D league. Grunwald has to find them.
Most importantly find a two way coach for this team!!!

We don't have the resources to get what we need. No picks, no cap space, just the MLE, LLE, and league min. Right now the only healthy player at either backcourt position under contract for next year is toney douglas.

Lin should/better be huge help. Novak played himself right into the vet min.
Not a serious champ. contender but a 3-4 seed would be nice IMHO

What's nice about that? We're basically aiming to be the Atlanta Hawks?
