Nate robinson? He's streaky too streaky lol

What do you mean he is too streaky?

[DeviousOne]

What that means is that he's never been consistent he will have 2 or 3 monster games then for the next 20 or so won't do well..

[THUGGEDOUT]

Knicks continue to look good and winning convincingly, hope Mike Woodson can get these guys to keep it up!

Stat is going to ruin the chemistry of the team once he comes back smh

What makes you think that? He was part of the training camp and he's fortunate to have been injured at the start of the season. He has his chances, only time will tell.

[DeviousOne]

The past 2 seasons he's been there with carmelo makes me believe that before carmelo was there he was beasting when they are on the court together they have no chemistry. Ill post some stats when I get home.

Why would that even matter? Thanks to Amar'e the Knicks are relevant and thanks to Carmelo the Knicks are still alive.

Because they playing styles clash! So you get an inconsistent style of play however I will say with felton at the point it could work we'll have to see but the way they are now they are playing cohesive together something I haven't seen with melo and stat together yet.

Lakers fired coach Brown!

Kind of unfortunate although they started off slow I think coach Brown needed more time. D'Antonis name has been thrown in the pool of possibilities but I sure as hell hope they don't hire him.
I think the problem with the Lakers this season is their defense, sure they were having problems with the offense but at least if you have your defense together you always give yourself a chance to win. And D'antoni sure as hell would not make things any better IMO.

[DeviousOne]

I had heard they fired him....only Phil Jackson can fix this shit....anyone else its gonna be the same situation

Agree, Bring back the legend!
GM said they will consider him. If they do I hope he still has the passion and health to coach.

[DeviousOne]

Well Jackson is an option however they still owe mike brown a lot of money another option maybe Brain Shaw?

It should be a quick process in regards to a coach selection by the lakers

[x_terna]

From what I've been reading, Jerry Sloan might be the guy but then again I keep hearing the Zen Masters name as well. They'll hire a coach by next game.

Knicks again!!! Still early but like the winning, winning is good. How bout Brooklyn destroying Orlando...

[skyballin]

Yea my Knicks looking real good. They're pretty much guaranteed 5-0 now because they play the magic next and the Magic are trash. I'm interested in seeing how Amare's return affects them too. They were 6-1 with him under Woodson though so that might tell you something.

Lakers are considering Dantoni lol....what a joke.

[DeviousOne]

Don't be dissing my Orlando magic we trying to win the lottery son!!! Lmao..

Kobe is lobbing for Jackson...i don't think sloan is a good fit however I think D'Antoni is a better choice then sloan..

I personally feel that Jackson is the only one that can clean up this mess that is the Lakers..

Interested as well in how the knicks do with stat back I'm hoping he doesn't mess up the chemistry of the team.

I'd be interested to see how Woodson will deal with it if that starts happening, this would be no time to cater to player ego's.

[DeviousOne]

Lakers hire D'antoni!

Phil mustve been asking for too much?

[robvandam111]

Phil Jackson: "Taking my talents to South Beach" lol

[DeviousOne]

Phil didn't want to travel as much...I think that was a deal breaker for the Lakers....maybe D'antoni can bring some life and organization to the lakers office...since brown was fire lakers are 2 and 0 lmao

[robvandam111]

Nope, just read he wanted more control. He was healthy for traveling.

[DeviousOne]

I read something on espn where he wouldn't travel on the road with the team???

Jackson wanted to humiliate Lakers vice president Jim Buss far more than he wanted to coach the team. He wanted significant allowances on travel, coaching duties and an ability to veto player personnel moves that didn't fit his vision. With an unprecedented 11 coaching championships, Jackson had every right to make unprecedented demands
