The struggle for the Knicks early this season are causing people to point fingers in hopes of trying to explain why the team is performing as bad as they are right now. However, no matter what direction the fingers are pointed to, there's just no way it is going to help with the current problem for the Knicks right now. And here are some reasons why. The Coach Much of the blame has been, rightfully so, directed towards the coach Mike Woodson due to his insistence to playing lineups and schemes that are simply not working. However, a coaching change in this part of the season just seems so drastic and simply a bad decision. If they fire him, who will be the replacement? It's not like there are plenty of good coaches around that they can hire. And even if there are good coaches available, seeing how the management replaced their coach this early in the season would make those candidates worry about the security of the job that they are going into. The Owner Another target of the blame is the owner of the team itself of which I think that despite a douche, isn't really someone to blame for the bad game. Although I agree that James Dolan hasn't helped with building a championship-caliber team, it really is not his fault that the team is playing worse than their current talent. Also, even if it is indeed his fault, you can't fire him as the owner and you'll just have to accept the inconvenient reality of it all. The Superstar So let us move on ahead to another receiver of blames, the team's expensive superstar Carmelo Anthony. His propensity for settling on jumpers and his inefficient scoring have drawn indignation from many fans. Still, he is the best player on the team right now and the Knicks will have to do with him. However, it would certainly be nice if Anthony actually worked on improving his game. Let's face it, the Anthony that we are seeing right now is not that different from the one we saw two seasons ago. For crying out loud, the times are changing and tons of players and other teams are improving. The Broken Star Well here's the name that grinds the gears of many Knicks fans. Amar'e Stoudemire. It is easy to take a dump on the guy for being the highest paid player on the team while spending more time on the bench. Still, the Knicks were successful last season despite Stoudemire being a non-factor. Also, it is not his fault the team overpaid for him and that his knees aren't working as they should. It's not like him being on the team is making all the other guys bad. And even if he did, nobody's going to take his stupidly outrageous contract.
