I think Mike Woodson is available right now. He was D’antoni’s defensive coordinator with the Knicks during the 11-12 season. The Knicks were 5th in defense that year. They did a lot of switching.
Unless he just had a health issue come up or family issue this is ridiculous. If he had neither then he should have retired after the season. Not 1 month before the season starts.
Not surprising. He is noticing where the team is headed defensively with us losing Ariza and Luc and bringing in Melo in the mix. He knows there is no hope defensively with Melo on the team. He did a good job covering Harden's defensive weakness but covering Harden and Melo is to much for any man to ask. Melo has not even started playing for the Rockets and is already killing this team as he always has been wherever he goes. This off season keeps getting worse.
d'antonio: jeff we need you to come up with a defensive scheme that not only replaces ariza's defensive impact but limits melo's weaknesses defneisvely jeff bzdelik:
