I just wan't D'Antoni out already. There's no use of having him here if we don't have the personal to run his gimmick system.

God Shumpgod what else is there to say

Jeffries worst b ball player ever I think I can beat him one on one but I'm sure he will draw at least two charges on me

Harrelson a nice late pick but a little too three happy and losing minutes to the above scrub is ridiculous

Td should be a professional dart player

Bill walker needs to perish

Landry would be timid even In the WNBA

This is my Knicks team that I still love and will be here to watch them win or lose but the heartbreak is starting to take it's toll

Go Knicks


I don't understand the unequivocal praise for Shumpert. He's been up and down. He looks promising, but the Bucks game was not one of his good ones. He threw some nice lobs, but he couldn't find any way to score, obviously didn't do much to help the offense work as a whole, and to me it seemed as if his defense was just okay, regardless of the steals. Don't get me wrong, I'm optimistic about Shumpert and I think he's a good prospect, but he has struggled.

I was at the garden court side for the bucks game and most of the 3rd/4th all you heard was fire d antoni chants followed by boos.

We win and we gain some momentum or we lose and d antoni is going to be on the shopping block.


I wish this were true, but it's really not. If we win, we win. If we lose, D'Antoni gives the other team credit in the postgame presser, says they made shots, and continues being awful.


He won't last if we keep losing at home, the crowd was calling him out all night the boos where louder then I have heard in the last 2 seasons. He himself won't take it.

One of the guys I was with last night at the game was beyond hammered, Amare was standing at the free thow line and we were right next to him at court side. The guy stands up and screams Amare your not worth the 20 million. You could see by Amares facial expression he heard it.

I don't think D'Antoni can go very far with this team and he shares plenty of blame for what's gone on...but do you honestly think firing D'Atnoni will fix this team's lack of depth, consistent guard play, shooting woes, ball movement and disinterest on defense. Will firing D'Atnoni all of a sudden have someone throwing the ball to Amare in stride for easy baskets?

I suppose you're a fan of the switching on defense and even heavier isolation play, because that's exactly what the alternative in Mike Woodson provides.

And we're losing at home against bad teams. I still think we'll turn it around, but things have been a lot worse so far than I thought possible.

^ Baron's shooting before every game nowadays.

Technically it's a win win if you think us winning this game will actually build momentum.. But i'd say it'd be more of a W if we lose..... Not saying I hope we do, and considering the opponent, as nice as it would be to get MDA out, gotta beat Denver.....

But if we do win, it's only going to allow us to have okay - decent games against the next 2 bad teams we'll play, and build some false sense of 'being out of it' or 'on a run' and hear all the bs from the players and coach... Only to slump back into it once we play good teams, like Miami on friday.

I just have a good feeling about this game, like this is the game the team needs to move on from the past and embrace the present. We'll see how my intuition is working tonight.

Honestly, I'd be surprised if we lose this one. As good as it would be to put MDA on the hot seat.. We aren't 'lucky' enough for that to happen.. We'll get some fluke performance from someone, W, while still being the same team we are.
