even the knicks are believing in their coach.

D'Antoni is a hell of a coach. Don't get me wrong the Knicks are talented and have been perpetually underachieving, but D'Antoni has made a huge difference changing the culture and attitude of the team.

Lawrence Frank is one of the hardest working coaches in the league, there is no questioning his effort. I know as a Nets fan that he is trying his hardest to make this team the best they can possibly be.

My problem with Frank is that I don't believe he has the ability motivate the players and therefore plays less talented players who are known as "effort players" while putting the under achievers on the bench and hoping they'll figure it out. I also believe Frank is one of those coaches who gets so emotionally invested in a game that he misses the mismatches and throws out horrible lineups situationally. For example when we are in a scoring drought he'll throw a lineup out featuring Trenton Hassell, Keyon Dooling, Bobby Simmons, Edjuardo Najera and Brook Lopez...not exactly a lineup of scorers.

Really good analysis, that is exactly what Frank does. If I ever see Hassell out on the court with Najera, I'm just turning off my TV right there. Playing those guys in place of the youngsters is really not what this season should be about.

At some point though, don't you have to look at their drafting the last few years? Marcus didn't pan out at all, Wright was borderline atrocious, especially with Granger available. Boone is best described as "serviceable." They gave away Korver who would have been a 2nd round steal for cash. Lopez fell to them and should be good, but they haven't had a draft pick really pan out since RJ. That was 8 years ago!

Knicks are slowly but surely turning into Phoenix of the East. 132! pts against Memphis tonight. I guess coach has something to do with this

you see what i am saying?

frank has to go now!!! under him robinson lee and chandler would not be playing.

 

[nets1]

how do you draw the connection that the nixs are doing good therefore frank should be fired. The main reason the nixs are winning is because meburry is on the bench. 3 other coaches didn't have the balls to bench him before. Its called addition thru subtraction.

Frank plays Boone, Yi and Harris so what makes you think he wouldn't play them?




Note: Boone has one less year of experience than Lee and Harris has one more than Nate.

he is forced to play boone yi and harris.

chandler would get no minutes over richardson.

frank would prob have james as the starting center.

robinson would be buried behind duhon and whoever else. stop sticking up for this clown we have as a coach,
