Why are the Knicks so horrible?

[TheReturn]

false. We have tha potential to be a championship team bro.

Outside of Melo and Chandler, none of the players would be consistent contributors on a championship team. Alright, maybe K-Mart as a big off the bench.

[hawkfan]

1. No point guard who can get to the rim.
2. Carmelo Anthony hasn't significantly improved his game from last year.
3. There isn't a good passer in the front court.
4. Amare Stoudemire is adjusting to coming off the bench.
5. Tyson Chandler is hurt.
6. Mike Woodson's coaching has not been creative. Give this roster to George Karl and the Knicks would a more interesting team to watch (this may happen).
7. Lack of confidence - lose a few games in a row, confidence gets shot, it becomes a vicious cycle.
8. Some games lost to bad execution.
9. Not playing young players to develop them. Why are Hardaway and Aldrich getting so many DNPs when this team needs some youth and athleticism?

Mike Woodson is an awful awful coach. He got fired off a 50 win season for a reason.

He got fired in Atlanta because he insisted on double teaming Dwight Howard in the playoffs and the players quit on him.

The Hawks should have won that series. His coaching cost us.

Right now, he is doing what ownership and management want him to do - run isos for Melo and JR -that's the whole offense.

If anything, he should specifically run plays for Amare when he comes in off the bench, and pick spots where he runs plays for Bargnani.

[T-Time3]

they miss one ingredient doe.

LINSANITY !!!!!

[Mr. Incredible]

Notice how once Melo started swinging the ball from side to side, they got back into the game. You can tell his teammates are getting tired of playing with him if you listen to their press conferences.

1. No point guard who can get to the rim.

[hawkfan]

Exactly.

[OldSkoolball#52]

So what is it that makes them so awful?

Bad roster?
Bad coaching?
Combination of the two?

Bad culture

[coin24]

They could use a decent pg, there offense is stagnant as fu*k. Also the D is non existent.
Woodson is useless and they're all playing like scrubs basically.

Time to blow it up, or get a beast to throw the ball down low to

You really think a different coach would make this team a contender? Or even respectable?

Mike Woodson isn't a very good coach, but that's not even the MAIN reason this team is trash. You act as if he's the one thing holding them back from being a powerhouse.

My god you are a foolish homer (sexual)

[Dagouch]

I kinda Agree with MetsPackers. I really wish he was wrong but it's getting apparent that it may be the case.

This team is free falling and bad. I'm not sure what our offense is.

Would Lin have been a difference maker for the team? Half the people on ISH think he was an over achiever Scrub while other's think he was the Savior.

The real reason we are horrible is Dolan. We gave up a lot of assets to get Melo. Do I think we still get Melo if the trade wasn't done is 50/50.

I think we can still turn it around especially in the East but enough saying from Woodson about not panicking. With this road trip starting it's only going to get worse before it gets better.

His team is quitting on him now. He has killed the one good young player (Shump) that they have, and is on his way to ruining the other (Hardaway).

George Karl could make this team better.
Not saying great, but definitely better.
Might as well bring him in - Dolan likes big names, and Karl is a big name coach.

Shumpert needs to sit because he doesn't seem healthy.
Hardaway and Aldrich sitting on the bench makes no sense.
