Small ball and short rotations can work short term, but the team doesn't have the energy or scorers to do that over the course of a season. Reality check for Knick fans who thought this team is elite or the top of the conference right now and can steal the 4th or 5th seed.
45 wins and the 7th seed = an accomplishment for this team considering where we were last year.
I probably won't ever be a "fan" of D'Antoni as the coach, but I won't call for his head because it's probably pointless. He makes the playoffs and he'll be here for at least another year, he's not going anywhere anytime soon.
