Lol. that'd be awful... it's just ironic that he is out hurt after they hired him

sounds like a plan. altho im not in love with barden. randle needs to step up.

lol. if the knicks stay undeafeated and melo "stats stay as is" we will hand the award to carmelo anthony of the undefeated 82-0 ny knicks moral of the story - it's game 5 of the season. its way too early to talk MVP

i heard on espn radio today d'antoni isn't even cleared to coach since he had knee surgery a month ago or something...? lol i never heard of a coach getting hired and unable to coach the team for some time

Yeah, it seems the Lakers have played 10 games, Knicks 4. I know that's not true, but with all the hoopla and talk about their coach/struggles, just seems like they play every damn day.

This year is a little different for several reasons. Coming off the SB last year, I think definitely takes the edge off the team. I don't care what anyone says, it's hard to stay hungry after winning last season. In a league where the slightest lackluster play exposes you to extremes, it's going to be hard for the Giants to finish strong. Secondly, this schedule is BRUTAL. I was looking at it yesterday, thinking the Giants will be fine with this divisional lead. It's a pretty darn tough schedule. I honestly can see the Giants losing just about every one of their remaining games. Seriously. Now, the great thng about the Giants in the Eli/Coughlin era? They PLAY TO their competition. If the team they are playing sucks, such as yesterday, they come in unprepared, unfocused, and seemingly without a care. I'm hoping this tough schedule gets them to rise to the occasion. I think 9 wins gets you the division crown this year.

Maybe I have no life, but does it feel like the Knicks play one game a week? I am pumped for the game tomorrow, and it's game 5 of an 82 game season. LOL

Man, that's tough for Philly. I've never been a huge Bynum fan for this reason alone

this team [expletive]ing blows headed towards another 2-6 collapse to end the season smfhj

Ok, so I've always liked Mike D'Antoni and I think he's a good coach. I really do. Things didn't work out in N.Y. mostly because he was forced to give up a lot of the guys he helped draft (ex. Gallo) and forced to take on Carmelo when it didn't fit his vision for the team. No one, including me have any idea how D'antoni will do in LA. I really don't. My brain tells me he's a good coach and can succeed with this roster, but my gut tells me he'll be considered a failure for the Lakers a year or two down the road. I'll leave you with this... The Knicks are 22-6 (reg. season) since Mike Woodson took over. D'Antoni was well under .500 when he resigned.

Missed the first half because I fell asleep during the pre-game. Yes, I fell asleep at 7:30. I woke up at 9 to see most of the second half. Decent game, sloppy basketball all around but the Knicks still looked good despite their sloppy play. Made plays when they needed to and Dallas got very few good looks in the 2nd half.

Lol, yeah, what dude? ECN just proved YOUR point in his last post.

If Phil Jackson doesn't want to come back, they could always get this guy: http://sportsrapport.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/06/micky-arison.jpg Close enough to Phil.

This is a Phil Jackson type of team though. Ready to win right now. But, I just don't see him coming back at this point. Sloan would make perfect sense, but would Jerry want to come in during the beginning of the season after training camp and Pre-Season? I'm assuming he would since there's so many games left.

He shed a tear or two during his last campaign rally in Iowa a few nights ago. He had to wipe them away really quick. I think his quote couldn't be more true: "I ran because your voices had been shut out of our democracy for way too long." —President Obama

Van Gundy isn't coming out of retirement to coach this team. No way after what happened with his brother in ORL with Dwight. D'Antoni would accept this job in a heart beat, but would the Lakers be that stupid to offer it to MDA? Everyone on this site knows I'm a fan of D'Antoni, but not for this Lakers team. Sloan makes sense, or if Phil Jackson wants to come out retirement one more time. How about Brian Shaw, too?

Wow. They must know something I don't. I mean, you give a Coach essentially five games and fire him? I realize they had a terrible Pre-Season, but that is meaningless IMO. That is just definitely unfair IMO. He's by no means a good coach, but it's just really not right to get rid of him after five games.

Lmao Jeb Bush has mexican wife >>> Appeals to minorities.

My Dad was saying they had Nash primarily playing off the ball when he was watching one of the Lakers games a week or two ago before Nash got hurt. Is that true? I really have not watched much of them.

Pretty much this. Sometimes I think Romney wouldn't have made a bad President, but then I don't even know what he truly stands for. If he's the moderate Mitt Romney, I think he'd be a decent President...but I'm afraid he'd be far too right.

This. I think Christie will definitely be interested in running by then. If Hillary wants to run, I'm sure she'd win the primary. I wouldn't oppose her being President, Deval Patrick and Elizabeth Warren would also make terrific candidates.

I've said from day 1 I think Mike Brown is a mediocre Coach at best. I don't think he's a good fit for this L.A. team. And I don't understand the entire 'Princeton Offense' philosophy. But, the team plays with virtually no emotion or care from the little I've seen.

I'm going Chris Paul in just about everything but rebounding. Rondo might be the slightly better defensive player because he has really active and quick hands. But I just would take Paul if I was starting a team. I like his leadership a bit more than Rondo, who can get immature at times. Rondo is a helluva player and I love watching him play. But I think Paul is slightly better in most facets of the game so I'm taking him.
