This goes to show when I said Chandler was your most vital player not Melo, I was right the whole time. Your whole offense and defense is built around one player. Chandler. His screens, PnR's, defensive anchoring skills, his rebounding bad chucking shots from whoever on your team. This isn't a surprise but like I said, once he comes back and the Atlantic is so bad, you are still in it oddly enough.
Have to disagree with you. Chandler has not proven himself to be reliable enough to be the centerpiece. Unreliability and inconsistency is what we have gotten from Tyson. The offense is not built around him, he struggles on offense. Defensively, he is fine, but still gets outworked by stronger players. Tyson is okay but has a lot of excuses.

Never said he was a centerpiece, I said he is your most vital player. Meaning the player you need the most to win games. Clearly Melo is the most talented.

I see your point. I would rather be Tyson-less than Carmelo-less though. I will concede that Tysons presence makes things easier on both defense and offense. I'll give him that.

Anybody else peep Pablo having to demand the rock from JR emphatically in the 4th? That fool kept trying to bring the ball up. If Pablo is on the floor, YOU LET HIM RUN THE OFFENSE. He has ZERO effectiveness off the ball. Why has Woodson not drilled this into the teams head? Why does Prig have to clap his hands and yell to get the ball from 1 of the lowest IQ players in the league? Bargs looked tentative in the 4th. I think he sat too long. Woody put him back in when the Knicks needed points and I don't think he had enough time to get back in a proper rhythm. He looked like he was rushing and missed shots he'd knocked down all game. The was a wack foul to call against the home team. I know it gets called, but that's not a call you should make to decide a game. Not a touch foul. I can't stand Joey Crawford. He makes everything about himself. Ain't nobody paying to watch you ref. Settle down. It was also a dumb foul too commit. The beloved defensive ace with the Bruce Bowen ceiling should know better.

Yeah Pablo Was Pissed, Him And JR Also Had Words Over A Turnover

He's Not Holding His Tongue This Season, He's Already Screamed On Amar'e And Bargnani For Not Helping On Defense, He Was Letting Bargs Have It lol

Last Season He Let JR Rock Bringing The Ball Up But You Could Tell It Bothered Him Cuz He Would Just Stare At JR As They Come Up Court

This is the type of stuff that leads me to believe Woodson wont be fired.

Hard to blame Woody when the GM don't know how to build a team.

I'm not blaming Woody- I'm just saying certain stuff that goes down is clearly favoritism(whether Woody is instructed by someone or its him on his own). There's no reason for JR Smith to be playing PG.
