Knicks · Beno Speaks Out! (page 2)

I wish it were Sunday already! I'd rather watch the last game of the Giants/Jets than this crud.

Udrih said his troubles began with the unconventional jerseys that the league gave its teams for the five Christmas Day games. Udrih, who tried to roll the sleeves up, said the uniform did not fit him right.

“I’ve never actually worked out with those tight jerseys,” he said. “It bothered me on the shot. When I was going to the shot, it would kind of stop me to get my shoulder and elbow up.”

Udrih began the third quarter by making a layup, but it was his lone basket in six tries, and he essentially deferred on offense to J. R. Smith and Tim Hardaway Jr.

Udrih struggled just as much on defense. Westbrook, who finished with 14 points and 10 assists, and Westbrook’s backup, Reggie Jackson, who had 18 points, tormented Udrih with their speed.

his guys are melo and smith and felton.

these aren't his guys:

jeremy lin
novak
copeland
shumpert
udrih

yep... sad but true..

great posts on this thread. amazing a third string player would call out his coach, but, it is telling, and, hard to disagree with him from the cheap seats. Other posters said it well - the apparent favoritism shown by "mr accountability" (or, was that, Mr. Defense?) woodson towards this roster is appalling.

Woodson is selectively tough with his players, at least MDA had the spine and integrity to insist on a system (agree iwth it or not), and, call out bad behavior.

Everytime Woodson quoted in press about 'being tough", "accountability', etc, he sounds foolish given the limitless patience he shows towards Smith.

Are you kidding in regards to D'Antoni? How many guys came out and said they didn't know why they weren't playing? Communication was D'Antoni's biggest deficit. Sorry, but having a spine and calling out bad behavior were not things that characterized that guys tenure in NY.
