Bring back Patrick Ewing.

 

[allen3xis]

I think we need to separate our hearts from our heads...


Pat aint a good basketball mind, sorry..he just isn't.

Mark Jackson has zero coaching experience.

Greg Anthony hasn't been anything but a commentator since his playing days


Yall just wana give these positions to unqualified people?

 

[nycknicks105]

Well look what Pat did for Yao..dude helped him out a lot.

 

[allen3xis]

IMHO,

We could all coach a 7'6 man with that athletic ability to the success he's reached.


I love Pat, but he just isn't a guy that will live and breath basketball now after his career his over.

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

Allen I agree with you. Pat is a good assistant coach maybe someday he will be a good head coach but not right now. And your assessment of Jackson and Anthonyare right on IMO. Dudes are not really qualified. I am all for giving opportunities but lets give it to some young assistant ie Tom Thibadeau who has payed hisdues.

 

[tommykairaa]

why did let go demetris nichols?

Francis

 

[true 3 blue]

not enough space on the roster. plus they had more interest in Chandler than Nichols.

 

[tommykairaa]

oh

Francis

 

[allen3xis]

He is and was garbage.

A streaky shooter and that's it

 

[nycknicks105]

^^what team is he playing for now?

 

[tommykairaa]

bulls

Francis

 

[viiheaven]

Wait, people want Mark Jackson for coach? Heck nah, I think he'd be a better GM. But I hope we can pry away Kiki, not looking good though, from all thetalks, looks like Rod Thorn will be retiring and Kiki will be taking over next season.

 

[flatbushfiyah23]

I wouldnt mind giving Nichols a shot at the roster for next season.

 

[typerpinoy]

i remember having this mark jackson argument in this thread already....my feeling about it...it's obvious he would love to do it so why not? avery johnson,doc rivers, scot skiles....none of them had any experience either and they all brought their teams back to the playoffs and relevance...plus we've had hallof fame coaches in the past few years like wilkens and larry brown...their experience didnt translate into wins so why not go out on a limb?

 

[allen3xis]

My thinking with that is...

If we take that in experienced route...

Why not at least grab an assistant from a successful team that can bring a winning attitude/philosophy..

 

[typerpinoy]

my logic is that first time coach means new philosophies and a new and different outlook...assistants are going to coach like their mentors...kinda like howjvg coached the same hardnosed defense first kinda team...clearly what's been going on the past 7 years is not working...so some new and fresh ideas couldhelp turn things around


im not trying to argue with you...cuz im sure we can both agree that anyone not named isiah thomas is who we want coaching

 

[mez 0ne]

I have no problem against Marc Jackson, I want no part of Scott Skiles (new faces never hurt).

Now....the Knicks BETTER lose tonight vs Miami, it will be inexcusable if they win.

Exactly what i believe. Mar would be a great coach. He is smart and he is young and would bring energy to the players.

[true 3 blue]

I love that vid

 

[mez 0ne]

I used to have that same reaction when I would pretend to be Ewing @ the park.
