Knicks · Game thread: The Knicks vs Celtic massacre II: Woody Watch (page 8)

Knicks basketball gets uglier the closer to the end of the game we get. They stop running any plays and rely either on ISO's or just luck. Good coaches have their team run their highest % plays. We don't and haven't since Woody became the head coach. I don't care how many games we won last year.

Final  
BOS 90 NYK 86

Woody is a players coach....Bargs even said Woody allows them to do what they want on offense, even they play hard on defense. Thats Woody's offensive strategy.

Melo is like Ewing. He has no legitimate help. He needs a facilitator.

We had STAT play all those minutes and didn't use him!!! I can't believe they never went back to him after he hit that elbow jumper. He was the one guy doing anything and we needed to get high % baskets. That is absolutely HORRID coaching. Plus JR SUCKS on D, so why was he in there? He makes nothing but dumb mistakes and takes awful shots.

If the cavs are still looking to move waiters for shump Knicks need to do it.

Woody is a players coach....Bargs even said Woody allows them to do what they want on offense, as long as they play hard on defense. Thats Woody's offensive strategy.

Except our defense sucks

If your local Chinese Restaurant is looking to move waiters for shump Knicks need to do it.

Too much melo at the end of the game .... Same reason the bulls came back on us... And again out coached ... Why would you stop what's working in ball movement and go to what we know dose not work in crunch time... Bad call woody shame on you tonight should have been a big w and that loss is on your shoulders.

I say Woody would probably get let go if we lose tomorrow, and I think we will too. I am not trying to be negative, but I am trying to be a realist. This team hasn't shown any fight from day one.

+1 That makes sense

I think jr was in because he is less pathetic then shump. The stuff about stat is a team problem. They just weren't moving the ball and had no flow.

I am starting to think Woody wants to be fired. I can not believe someone can look at the STATs and say run more ISO's. We run ISO's more than any team in the league and get the lowest percentage of ISO's leading to a score. There is no way he can be that bad of a coach.

Thats not really a negative, Woodson is not a championship coach.

Stoudemire and Martin are why we play good-- once Martin left and Melo and bargs took too many shots we lost. we have 0 guards

Dude I know you want to try and be fair to Woody but he flat SUCKS!!!! There's no other coach that would allow his team to fail over and over again to get the ball to their highest % big in the post. Why the F was STAT on the floor if they were just gonna ignore him. As coach you have to pull your team aside and point that ish out to them. What else is Woody there for if not to do that??? NO F'N EXCUSE!!!

The momentum change as soon as Beno stepped on the court...Our back court was 3-20 tonight..Prigs won't even take a wide open layup after a nice pass from Melo...Knicks need to make a decision with Shump..His head is fked...He is either here or ship him out...JR, can't be explained..Melo logging too many minutes..He can't keep this up all season..Last time I saw this was with MDA and Amare..Two years later Amare is trying to make it back..U can't run Melo into the ground...I have said this before, Grunwald did a horrible job addressing our back court situation in the off season...I still won't give up the ranch for Lowry, but man we need him...
