Message: [QUOTE="newmexicuse, post: 180198, member: 57"] There is a lot of D'Antoni hate out there amongst Knick fans. I am on the fence about him. No doubt that he does some things that I question, but by and large the man hasn't had a full deck to play with. Pre-Stat the talent was low & the strategy was simply to clear roster cap wo regard to acquiring talent. Once Stat signed (pre-Melo) he had a young team that was playing well and was exciting. I thought he did a really nice job with that group. Post-Melo he was at first lacking any inside defensive presence. They then signed Ty to fix that, but until Lin they were totally wo PG play, which is critical in Mike's system. Now, let's see if Lin has staying power, and if so, let's see how Mike does with a full deck. Mike really hasn't had much of a fair shake in terms of coaching a decently talented balanced roster during his time in NY. The time may finally be at hand for him. [/QUOTE]
