The point crazymd is making that I agree with is Horny has been a bit too much of a pleaser.
Baker clearly should have been our backup from day 1 but we never saw him get consistent PT
Rose and Melo took nights off on D and never got yanked for it
Melo and Rose player isolation basketball and again he didn't call them out on it.
The biggest thing was Noah. Come on why did he keep staring Noah???
He's basically a very very smart set creator - he can set up great time our plays and even make the Triangle look good. But he doesn't mesh with Melo or veteran stars.
I think Horny will be great for the Youth Movement.
KP helping the tank with some nice fouling.
BIG WILLY WITH THE THRILLY!
We got someone real good in Willy
Kuz is 6-9 but plays like he's 6-4--the prototypical soft European player. Hope he can get some toughness but, since he's already 27, it's pretty unlikely.

Not sure why he stopped starting. This is an ideal time to see what Willy and KP have as starters together.

Horny and Youth usually go together; can't argue with that.

Kuz and KP are really bad at defense.

I blame Melo.

At least KP is one of the league's best rim protectors though.

REALLY???
Yes? What offense are they running? Please explain with screen caps from the first quarter. I'll wait.
At least I contribute more than LAME ASS JOKES! If this is the best you can offer i'd pass on commenting if I were you. Watch the game and STFU!
Man, my guy, you have zero credibility. You're all positivity and zero honesty.
Hornacek has done a bad job.
That wasn't a joke. He has not been a good coach. The joke, in fact, has been the job he's done as coach. Sorry you are too blinded by rose colored lenses to see otherwise.
So HONESTY is suggesting that Jeff Hornacek doesn't know what he's doing??? PLEASE! You made a DUMB ASS comment and that's all this is about. Nothing to do with Rose Colored Glasses Bruh.
I honestly don't think he knows what he's doing with this team. Which is a large reason they are 25-38. Is that so hard to believe? This is his second head coaching gig. I'm not one to complain about the coach. I liked Woodson and I liked Fisher. I don't like what this team is running relative to its personnel. I don't think Hornacek has done a good job or made good adjustments this year. That's 100% honest from me. Why would I possibly lie about that.
Yes. Let's hire ANOTHER coach. Great idea. Blame the coach. It's the knicks way.
Edit to add - I literally said in the post you quoted that I liked Fisher and Woodson. I also defended D'Antoni against most of the harpies here.
Anyone who thinks Hornacek is a good coach please defend this starting lineup:
Rose
Ron
CLee
Lance
KP
Notice how those guys shot 30% and were down 22-8 after 5 minutes?
Please defend that lineup. Please. Tell me they they were trying to lose (but then I'll ask you why they bothered coming back?)
That lineup is the result of someone who does not understand this team or basketball.
That lineup is someone who has no real plan for how to win with this team. Why is Willy Hernangomez suddenly no longer starting?
Willy probably isn't starting becauae KP is really more of a center.
What're we working on giving up--40 points in the third quarter?
KUZ just KRUSHED Green with the hammer!
Nice power burst by Kuz for a change.
