I was on the road so someone can post details later. Tidbits. Asked it was relief to get the win. KM says good win and a good learning experience. Got slacky at the end but came through. Asked about CP comments on JH. KM says emphasis has always been too move the ball. Team is better when ball moves and JH is better when he moves fast and makes quick move rather than holding. He has told Jh that. Same with Dwight. He is better if he moves immediately rather than waiting. Asked if this is trade off between superstar and ball stopping. KM says Rox have had goo games with JH and without him. He does hold the ball a bit but he is a great offensive weapon. Asked about player friction because of this. None at all. Everyone on the team has been stopping the ball and forcing bad shots at times. Asked about last play I'm the Dallas game. KM says we have hard time with Dirk. DMo did a good job. CP did a good job initially. Tried to throw different people at him. He makes tough and unbelievable shots. One of those nights but he has had 3 of them. Asked about Dirk's profficiency given age and knee injury after ring. KM says Dirk should be all star and like TD has been able to resurrect himself and play well. Km just sits in bench and says "I don't know" what to do with him. Thrown all kinds of sets. Asked about Calderon's last shots. KM first thought no way. Players were hypersensitive to Dirk and players kept running at him and thankfully he missed. Asked about KD's game against LBJ. Who is most unstoppable offensive force apart from MJ? KM days Kareem. Unstoppable, has 38 K points. The sky hook and a great passer. Sky hook the most dangerous ever weapon in the NBA. Durant is a great player. kD doing stuff tht is more difficult than what MJ faced. What KD is doing is amazing. Asked about guarding Kareem. KM says amazing weapon and the sky hook was unstoppable. KD reminds KM more of TMac than Gervin. KD a longer better shooting TMac. Legit 7 ft with silkiness, ball handle improved. Is JH back Saturday and a back up center. KM says he is hopeful Jh is good to go. Will know tomorrow at practice. Omer starting to run on the treadmill and his knee has not reacted. Lot of practice days coming and hope to get those guys back esp a big back up like Omer. Seahawks or Broncos? KM would like Broncos to win and will do some BBQ and enjoy it.
"Not Linsanity, not trying to live up to all that stuff, which is impossible but being comfortable with who he is." McHale basically thinks Linsanity was a fluke, and always has. He's saying it's IMPOSSIBLE for Lin to play at that level. He' always called it Lin's ceiling, yet how many players hit their ceiling in their first 7 starts of their career? McHale has made up his mind that Lin is a 14 and 5 guy and won't be much more than that.
Yup. And he's doing his best to make sure it won't be much more than that. Who likes to be proven wrong .
Basically the only thing you need to know about the interview is Asik seems to be faking his injury after all. Rest is irrelevant.
It was a fluke. Linsanity can only survive on a crappy franchise like the Knicks. All flash, no substance. If we could find a taker, he'd have been gone as soon as we brought Dwight in (if not earlier when Harden was brought in). But, guess what, we're still stuck with him as nobody wants to pay his horrid salary. We were also the only team to offer him a contract. We outbid ourselves to bring in fans you like you to pad Alexanders' pockets during a down time. Fortunately, we don't need you or Lin anymore for that to happen. Time to walk in to the desert.
you might be a lin hater, and thats fine but be realistic, linsanity single handedly carried the knicks to the playoffs...thats right, the knicks actually won a lot of games with lin leading...sometimes i wonder if people on this board even think before they type
Single handedly carried them to the playoffs and sat out to ruin the pick position. Harvard IQ there.
