Well...we lost...

The Perennial great Knickerbockers lost again tonight, making it 7 losses in 8 games, with the one win coming against the lowly Bobcats. Not only did the Knicks lose, but they lost to the Cavs. The Cleveland Cavaliers. The Lebron James-less, Kyrie Irving-led Cleveland Cavaliers. 


Now, due to a contract dispute (GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER, TIME WARNER), I was unable to actually watch the game, so I can't speak of the competitive aspect of the game. But here's a few things I can say, looking strictly at the stat sheet. 


Carmelo Anthony said the other day that "maybe" he needs to shoot less. That's true. But in my opinion, he should still be taking the majority of the shots. Melo is a better player than Ama're. He should be the primary option. Melo needs to learn to pass the ball a bit more, but he should still be taking the majority of the shots for this team. 


We need a point guard. Shump is a good player, a nice player, but he's not really a point guard. A point guard should shoot better than 30 percent (Shump was 3/10 overall tonight). We need Baron to come back healthy and actually play well. 


If the Knicks want to see wins in their style of play (run and gun), it's about time they learn to shoot the threeball. I don't expect a team to go 20 for 20 from three, but is 8 for 20 out of the realm of possibility? Regardless, 3 for 20 is just plain unacceptable, which leads into my ultimate solution for the Knicks:


FIRE MIKE D'ANTONI. Seriously, he can't coach a championship. I was talking to a fellow tweeter (@NYYankees326) and she agrees. D'Antoni has proven that he can't win a championship in this league. This team has waaaaaaaaaaay too much talent not to be performing, and that can be targeted into the coaching staff.
