James Dolan is an easy target. He has more negatives I can pile on but I don't want to bore you. All that being said, he is far from an impossible obstacle to overcome for the Knicks to win a title.
Now that Mike D'Antoni is out, this is Carmelo Anthony's big chance to have it his way, to lead the team on his terms, to shine. That is what is expected of him now. Anthony got exactly what he wanted!
Knicks fans may one day look back and mark March 14, 2012, as the official end of Linsanity. Mike D'Antoni's run-and-gun version of it, at least.
Maybe there's a big-name coach out there who can bring out the best in Carmelo Anthony and the Knicks. Just don't expect Kentucky coach John Calipari to be that guy.
You can look right through him. Walk right by him. And never know he's there!
Anthony said that sometimes a change is needed, which is exactly what the Knicks got.
Craig was understandably happy this morning and not afraid to show it.
Before saying good morning to Boomer, Craig went on to call D'Antoni a coward and a quitter, punctuating his feelings with a good riddance.
Amare Stoudemire made all seven shots in the first half, Carmelo Anthony passed and shot well, and the Knicks shook off the surprising departure of their coach to rout the Portland Trail Blazers 121-79 on Wednesday night.
Knicks owner James Dolan said that D'Antoni felt it was best for the organization if he was no longer coach of the team.
Knicks management had to choose between Mike D'Antoni and Carmelo Anthony. It should come as no surprise that Carmelo Anthony won. The coach never had a chance.
Anthony says he's doesn't want to go anywhere. Nearly 13 months after being acquired from Denver, Melo found himself thrust once again into the trade deadline spotlight Wednesday.
Seems like this was a case of temporary Linsanity. The New York Knicks' fantastic February is forgotten, replaced by a March meltdown.
Despite having the night off, the Knicks were still the story this morning.
Melo was supposed to be the Knicks' savior. Nearly 13 months after the Denver trade, however, there appears to be trouble in paradise.
