After a remarkable Jeremy Lin-led run that made them the toast of the NBA,
the Knicks have lost 8 of their last 10 games. There's plenty of blame to go
around, but while some within the organization are questioning superstar
Carmelo Anthony, most of the fingers are being pointed at head coach Mike D'
Antoni, according to several sources close to the situation.
D'Antoni, hailed as an offensive genius during his successful tenure in
Phoenix, has lost the Knicks' locker room, the sources say.
"The players like Mike as a person," one source said. "They think he's a
good guy. But he doesn't have the respect of the team anymore."
D'Antoni is in the last year of a four-year deal and all indications are
that he will not be brought back after this season; that is, if he survives
the rest of this season. The Knicks are expected to make a run at Phil
Jackson, who retired from the Lakers last year with 11 NBA titles.
But the Knicks, losers of six straight games, still have 24 games left to
get through this year, and according to numerous sources close to the team,
the reeling club is as dysfunctional in the locker room as it is on the
court.
In addition to questioning D'Antoni, players are complaining about playing
time, and confused about the offensive and defensive schemes.
It is lost on no one that the Knicks' free-fall coincides precisely with the
return of Anthony. While Anthony was out with a groin injury, the Knicks
won 6 of 7 games, including victories over the Los Angeles Lakers and
defending champion Dallas Mavericks. With Lin leading D'Antoni's offense,
the Knicks played fast and free, spacing the floor, hitting the open man,
and even improving defensively.
But the day Anthony returned, the Knicks lost to the struggling New Jersey
Nets, starting a sorry stretch that has washed away all the feel-good
emotions of Lin's emergence and left them on the verge of missing the
playoffs.
Management, the coaching staff and the players know Anthony is hurting the
offense and in turn, the defensive morale, according to the sources. While D
'Antoni's offense calls for Anthony to plant himself on the wing at the 3-
point line, he often creeps in to his favorite spot in the floor -- the area
between the elbow, the arc and the post. That kills the Knicks' ability to
run the high pick-and-roll and ruins the spacing that is so critical to D'
Antoni's offense.
"That's at the very core of our problem," one person close to the situation
said. "That messes up the fluidity of the offense. Melo could do it, but he'
s got to trust the offense."
When Anthony first returned -- and it still appears to be the case -- Lin
would bring the ball up court and try to run D'Antoni's system. When Anthony
would abandon the offense, Lin would not pass him the ball, which irritated
Anthony, sources said. So when Lin tried to talk to Anthony on the court,
Anthony would turn his back to the point guard and tune him out. The two
never had heated exchanges, though, and the players tried to come to a
compromise, agreeing to run D'Antoni's system while also mixing in post-ups
for Anthony.
"But it's just a mess because D'Antoni's system is not designed for that,"
one source said.
Despite his often poor body language, many of the players believe Anthony is
trying to adjust and sincerely wants to win. He has told people close to
him that he is being asked to do things he's never done, saying that
throughout his career he has always had plenty of post-up opportunities and
that he is uncomfortable standing on the wing spacing the floor.
"Half the team is trying to do what coach says and the other half is doing
something different," one source said. "Then it spills over to the defensive
end because players are (ticked) off about somebody taking a bad shot."
With Anthony sapping the energy from the offense, the players often lose
their incentive to play defense. But even when he's trying to play defense,
Amare Stoudemire struggles. Having spent almost his entire career in D'
Antoni's non-defensive system, Stoudemire has trouble making defensive reads
and rotations. Anthony knows what to do defensively, but simply refuses to
do it consistently, the sources said.
Some players believe D'Antoni had the leverage to force Anthony to adjust to
his system when he first returned from injury. The Knicks were rolling,
showing they could win without Anthony, and their fan base was believing in
D'Antoni's system. If D'Antoni had checked Anthony, perhaps even benching
him, when he strayed from the offense, the players and fans would have been
behind the coach and Anthony would have had no choice but to conform. But D'
Antoni, ever the one to avoid confrontation with his players, would not do
it, and now it's too late. That's when he lost the locker room for good.
Now, the players believe they need a coach who will hold players, especially
the stars like Anthony and Stoudemire, accountable, the sources said. They
do not believe D'Antoni is willing or able to do it.
On top of that, Baron Davis, who just returned from a back injury, is
unhappy with his limited role as Lin's backup. Davis, averaging just 17
minutes a game, has already spoken to D'Antoni about giving him more playing
time, according to the sources. While Lin wants to run D'Antoni's system,
Davis is more in line with running the offense through Anthony and
Stoudemire, the sources said.
"The only way this is going to work is if we have a coach that will hold
Melo accountable and teach Melo, Amare and Jeremy how to play winning
basketball," a source said. | l***o

发帖数: 1403 | 11 主要是尼克斯的老球皮太多，战绩一不好的时候这帮人就要出头闹事。melo, davis都是
早有名声的了，搞不好还有mike bibby. JR本来就缺点心眼，跟哪个教练也合不来
其实呢，尼克斯把这些人踢掉，只靠钱总，jefferis,fields,shumpert,novak和lin的
核心
阵容来打，防守有硬度，肯定可以进季后赛，但是遇上前四的队是没有抵抗力的。
