Carmelo and Amare just drain any kind of energy out of every teammate.

Not that D'Antoni is a great coach but he's been dealt a shitty hand with these "star players". They just can't carry a team at all.

I seriously think that any combination that doesn't involve anthony or stat is more effective for the knicks.

This myth still going around?

It's not a myth. His decision when he goes left is extremely predictable, and it's usually not shooting. If the lane is left open, he'll take it but teams are playing him to the ball side now and so he can't get the separation he was getting before.

He's not the only ball dominant player with a major weakness to one side, but it's not exactly common. A lot of rookie guards come in with it as a deficiency, I think his is just more severe than others'. It's extremely easy to fix, it's just an issue for the remainder of the season.

The Knicks are clearly better than the bottom feeders, the problem is I'm not sure how much better they are than average. Their winning streak was mostly against the worst teams in the league, and now they're getting crushed by the best teams in the league.

For the Knicks to do well, Anthony and Amare need to evolve and adapt their games. Both are go-to scorers who thrive off of isolation basketball and don't play very much defense. Moreover, both are ball-stoppers which doesn't work at all in D'antoni's system. Amare is a good roll-man, but it seems that Chandler is a better one. It's also up to D'antoni to change his system more to adapt to the players; he can incorporate more weak-side action involving Amare and/or Anthony while Lin runs angle pick and rolls or something. The same criticisms were made of James and Wade but both of them adapted their games and Spoelstra drew up an entire new playbook that incorporated both of them. It can work.

Lin with 5-18 shooting... Didn't get to watch the game but that's just abysmal

I think the Knicks have a philosophical problem. They need to turn this team into the grindiest team they can, try to contain the weakness of their inefficient offense. As it stands, they're just playing too fast.

EDIT: And I've been kind of surprised at how marginal Evan Turner is. He's a nice rebounder, which makes sense for his size and position, but I never knew that he had no range and can't get to the line. He plays nice defense too, though.

To be fair, that just means he's weaker going the left and not that he can't go left at all. I do agree his left is a lot weaker compared to his right, and some training camps or so over the summer should fix that. Although that problem should be pretty low priority for the knick's, he goes left enough times to keep teams guessing, and that should be good enough for now.

Amare on the otherhand...I feel like he's got a negative net effect when he's on the floor, his offense isnt good enough anymore to account for his non-existent defense.

When you have someone like camelo playing in the knicks current system its not going to work. When you have Amare playing without a pass first PG while playing lazy D, its not going to work. When you have an help defender like Chandler play a man to man game, its not going to work. When you have players like Lin and Fields who drive and the middle is clogged by all 3 of those 'stars', its not going to work. That line up needs a massive shake up.
