That "accountability" crap was always overplayed. The team got off to a hot start last year when he took over and to start this year. What exactly did he have to yell at anyone about. that was NEVER the real reason this team was winning.

Thank goodness they can get this game over with and look to try and play better tomorrow. It's only one game.

Its not one game. This team has been mediocre since mid december

True, but I tend to take it one game at a time. If they can play better tomorrow and get a win that will stop the bleeding.

My big problem with Woody on defense is that if you have one guy beating you that's actually easy to shut down. Jrue was killing us and they should've looked to take the ball out of his hands and trap and double him to make someone else beat them.

This team should be. Woodson should tear a new one on all this players! This is unacceptable to any team that calls itself a contender. We weren't in this game not because the opponent was great, but because we didn't care enough to play solid organized offense and disciplined defense.

I wish we had Popovich - he would bench Melo's ass for a week. That would make everyone take notice and start caring again.

Final  
PHI 97 NYK 80

They will get it back tomorrow, don't jump off a bridge bipolar guys.
(the haters can jump off if they want to)

I was thinking along the same lines. Woodson is worried about Melo getting him out of here like he did D'Antoni.

I know, we rarely trap, but when we do we have forced steals. What i also don't understand is why could we not try to deny Holiday the ball. They didn't even have to set that many screens for him.

This was Felton's return for the first time in like 4-5 weeks and also the first time the likes of Felton, Shump, Melo, Amar'e, Chandler and J.R has played together here in 2012-2013.

Not a big deal at all. We had an off night shooting. Melo wasn't the only one who struggled from the field either. J.R went 0/8. Shump went 0/6. Kidd went 0/3. Felton went 2/8 and even Novak only went 1/3.

We struggled from the field tonight. These games happen. It's the NBA. Only a clueless fan will blame this loss on Melo himself.

I don't know if that's true. Our biggest wins came with Melo having bad shooting nights (first Heat game & both Spurs games) and with him out (Heat). The team isn't passing the ball (bottom of the league in assists) or playing consistent defense anymore. Another thing...if Woody is truly supposed to be a defensive guru, if he is really about holding guys accountable, then they aren't responding to him anymore.

all they had to do is play decent this past month and our lead would be secure but they played like crap the last 18 games mostly

MAYBE IT'S A JANUARY thing
