Mike Woodson Calls the Knicks Season "Kind of a Disaster"

(Source) - Mike Woodson offered a rough assessment of both himself and the New York Knicks on Thursday.

"This year has been, for me, it's been kind of a disaster from a coaching standpoint in trying to get players to compete and play at a high level," Woodson said in an interview on ESPN New York 98.7 FM's "The Stephen A. Smith and Ryan Ruocco Show."

"That's the frustrating part about it, because I know we're better than what we've shown and we've still got a chance."

The Knicks fell to 11-17 at home with Wednesday night's loss to Portland. At 19-30, they are in 10th place in the Eastern Conference, 2½ games out of the eighth and final playoff spot.

Is it a disaster, Mike?  Is it really?  Because I had no idea that it was bad when you went from 2nd place in your conference and 26 games over .500 to clawing for a playoff spot, despite not losing any key players. Were you expecting to win games with the second highest team payroll in the league or something?  Are those players you shelled out millions to supposed to perform?  

HA!  I cannot begin to express how happy this makes me.  Fuck Melo, fuck the Knicks, and honestly just fuck New York altogether.  That city has the Yankees and nothing else.  Sure the Giants won a couple but at least they still have to deal with the consummate frustration and letdown that is Eli Manning on a week-to-week basis. The only reason Mike Woodson hasn't been kicked to the curb yet is because, by the grace of God, the entire Eastern Conference (aside from Miami and Indy) is in absolute shambles as well.  Being 19-30 and still somehow very much in the playoff hunt is nothing short of a miracle. So for your sake, Mike, I hope your team pulls it together enough to squeak into the playoffs and get massacred by one of the elites. At least that way you might get to keep your job. 

PS - The sad part is that this season really isn't even Mike Woodson's fault.  Melo basically admitted to wanting out before the season, JR Smith has somehow become more aggressive and less of a factor simultaneously, Felton is absolute garbage, Bargnani is hurt and wasn't even useful when he was healthy, Tyson Chandler looks like he's on his last legs, and Iman Shumpert hasn't been formidable since the first two months of his rookie year.  And the worst part is that none of these guys on the floor are even giving Mike Woodson an ounce of respect. The guy literally isn't even being given an opportunity to coach.  Two words to describe the Knicks: total clusterfuck.
