That being said, he was NEVER the man for the job. They just needed someone other than pringles to coach the team at the time. He was a band aid. They should have kept him at interim and did a legit coaching search, but I understand why they couldn't so they had to rock with Woodson.
Agreed. We didn't really have any alternatives. Up and comers aren't given a chance and they responded to Woodson the best. He showed the lack of ability to adjust several times throughout the following season and this current one but that great year bought him time. It is what it is.
As a general fan of the NBA, I think that's a cop out. If that was ya mans before and you were dying to get him here, don't quit on him. Don't shun him when things didn't pan out.
Those people are the worst. Like all the people I saw wearing Mets hats when they were doing well and the Yanks got eliminated from the playoffs that year. People need to understand that you cannot root for both. Pick a side. I never let the "I'm rooting for NY" mentality slide.theres too many fake fans in ny. i listen to sports talk at work at night. i actually heard a dude last week talk about he's done with the knicks, woodson has no idea what he's doin, he ain't even playin ron artest anymore
i'm at a bbq on saturday and almost swung on some dude talkin about he's a nets fan now, when the knicks get it together he'll come back ... cracked my knuckles and all that ...
... you can say well melo dont even have pieces around him (true #2) to make him great.... and that might be true but great players can lead their teams all alone rose, dirk, lebron, etc... i think he will stay though and if he doesnt lets be real thats a B move since he forced his way here
