Source: Knicks Could Fire Mike Woodson Before Trade Deadline
Feb 05, 2014 11:01 AM EST
The New York Knicks could fire Mike Woodson before the Feb. 20 trade deadline, according to a source.
The Knicks are seven games behind the Toronto Raptors in the Atlantic Division and 1.5 games behind the Charlotte Bobcats for the final playoff berth in the Eastern Conference.
“If things had gotten off to the way we thought they should have at the beginning of the year we probably wouldn’t be having this conversation,” Woodson said. “Again, we’ve had our struggles. With the injuries and inconsistent play in terms of our different rotations it’s just been a combination of things.
“My job as the coach is to get these guys over the hump. We’re still in position. It’s not like it’s the last week or two weeks of the season where we don’t have a shot in making the playoffs.
“We still have a legitimate shot to make it. Until it’s over I’m going to continue to push guys to understand that come April we want to still be playing basketball, not watching it on TV.”
