There seems to be some disconnect between the Denver Nuggets players and their new head coach Brian Shaw.

NBA Report: Knicks Interested in Trading For Andre Miller
The Knicks season started off pretty badly but the new year has produced good things for them. Winning four of their last five games the Knicks look to be on the right track.

They reportedly tried to acquire Kyle Lowry from the Raptors but didn’t have pieces of interest to complete the deal. Now they’re reportedly eyeing Nuggets guard Andre Miller.
(Video) NBA: Randy Foye Blocks Carmelo Anthony’s Game-Tying Shot As Knicks Lose 8th Straight
I know it’s still “early” in the season but when the Knicks have more player meetings than wins, it might be time to start panicking. While I’ve noticed a multitude of problems such as poor defense, no ball movement, questionable rotations amongst others, the Knicks themselves seem lost as to how to fix their problems and get back on the winning side of things. On Friday night in their game against the Denver Nuggets, it appeared they may have finally gotten back on track then in the final play with Carmelo Anthony handling the ball as the clock ran down and the chance to tie the game, he waived off the screen and went iso against Randy Foye. Rather than driving to the hoop, Carmelo opted to back him down, turn and hit a fadeaway shot. Foye rose getting a piece of Anthony’s shot, blocking it and giving the Nuggets the 97-95 win and the Knicks their eighth straight loss.
