		<description><![CDATA[This team is SO bad, that it makes our few good players (Gallo, Lee, Nate, Douglas maybe) look bad too. Honestly, I think we would be best served to just forfeit the whole season right now before on of them gets injured. This is ridiculous. I cannot take watching they&#039;re games anymore. What happened to Wilson Chandler? He was serviceable last year. And we need a point guard so bad it is ridiculous. I actually have no idea how to make this team better. They are all untalented, selfish, stupid players. I was expecting a terrible season but not this. And then I think about how with our draft pick we will be getting John Wall, who was awesome last night. Oh wait... The Jazz will be getting John Wall. We better get some ridiculously good free agents next year]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If Mike D&#039;Antoni is an acknowledged &quot;offensive-minded&quot; coach who has never gotten his teams to play good defense, then what can be done with a Kincks team that can&#039;t score because their &quot;offense&quot; amounts to badly missing 3-point attempts on virtually every possession?

Why will D&#039;Antoni not bench Duhon, when he has no qualms about banishing Darko and others, who - it can be argued - have not played well either, but have caused less harm (probably because of their fewer minutes) to the team?

Gallinari looks more and more lost by the minute. He is running VERY slow, doesn&#039;t look for open shots and there is a very good possibility the kid will be damaged by D&#039;Antoni&#039;s chaotic coaching patterns.

When will D&#039;Antoni give MEANINGFUL minutes (as in &quot;let him start a few games&quot;) to Jordan Hill and Douglas? What&#039;s the advantage of falling behind by 20 points with Duhon, Harrington and Chandler as the starters? What&#039;s the advantage of losing the games with Jerffries and Curry instead of giving serious minutes to Darko to see if something can come out of it? After all, we know for sure - by now - that Curry and Jeffries are NOT salvageable. Don&#039;t we?

Hey, I&#039;m even agreeable to the idea of the Knicks making Nate into the starting point guard, with a whip in hand to keep him under control. Anything is better than Duhon, another ESTABLISHED BAD player (he is not a rookie and has never been anything other than a mediocre PG backup).

D&#039;Antoni is GUILTY of ignoring the obvious: ALL players - great, good or bad - just CAN&#039;T give more than they are capable of. They try hard, but they can&#039;t do better: Jeffries, Curry, Duhon, Chandler are NOT starters in any decent team. Chandler is a decent backup - we have three years of evidence. The guy is what he is and D&#039;Antoni is completely out of his mind expecting him to become a good starter. Curry is shot - yes, he will have a few decent games here and there, but he will forever suffer little injuries and the usual lack of motivation. Darko is not far behind, but at least, he is young and seemingly in far better physical condition. We could - and should - take a cvhance on the guy.

Duhon is back to what he has been his entire career: a bad PG. Yes, he had a decent 3-months with the Knicks, but good players don&#039;t go into 9-moth funks. He is back to whatever limitations he has had throughout his career. 

bad, bad coaching. An appalling lack of common sense being shown by Walsh and D&#039;Antoni - the team is not as bad as it looks. Maybe I&#039;m just a lousy &quot;armchair coach&quot;, but I think the bad coaching - at every level, beginning with D&#039;antoni - is killing the team as much as anything else.

God, someone gimme a dozen Zantacs, please! This is getting fu**ing hard to stomach...]]></description>
