The Knicks do have a lot of talent but nobody who likes to pass. They all play the 1 on 1 game which doesn’t get you many open shots. They need 1 or 2 playmakers and 2 less scorers.
P.S. I’m from the bean and am loving this Boston thing but Dwight Howard is a man-child and scares the shi+ out of me. Rondo is underrated but needs to improve his shot, but K-Perk absolutely sucks.

with the appeal of the summer lawsuit still in process they can’t fire Isiah without damaging the case…let’s just enjoy our own 1st round pick for once, Rose etc., and look to trade the expiring contracts, Rose etc…

Young guys? Who are you referring to? Most of the Knicks line up are half way through their careers… Perhaps more than that if they continue to play that way.

Was at the game last night and noticed Marbury was absent on the bench through most of the 4th. Rumor was he got hurt. I think that’s nonsense. I think he went off to throw a tantrum. Let’s hope he’s making his way back to Minnesota…

Maybe I’m still bitter over some Knicks fans flaming us Blazer fans over the Randolph trade, but this is hilarious.

Better to have Fry sitting on the bench than Randolph out on the floor, hogging the ball and quitting on defense.

Starbury is hands down the best point guard in the NBA, maybe top 5 all time. He is a shoe in for the hall of fame. His winning attitude and team first style of play is why he has always been a winner wherever he has played. Its not fair to hate on Starbury, he is the only one on the Knicks that doesn’t suck. If the Knicks had 12 Starburys on their roster they would be the greatest team of all time.

FOR THE TEAM TO QUIT LIKE THEY DID, THERE IS NO EXCUSE. ISIAH SHOULD GO. THE COACH’S JOB IS TO MOTIVATE AND INSTRUCT THE PLAYERS AS WELL AS PROVIDE A STRATEGY FOR SUCCESS. TALENT WISE THE CELTICS ARE NOT THAT FAR AHEAD OF THE KNICKS TO WARRANT SUCH A LOPSIDED DEFEAT. I DONT CARE IF THE KNICKS WIN TONIGHT. IF THEY CANNOT PUT TOGETHER 3 CONSECUTIVE VICTORIES IN THE NEXT 10 GAMES, THEN THE COACH NEED TO GO. PERIOD. IF THERE ARE NO SIGNS OF CONSISTENT GROWTH, HARD WORK AND DEDICATION, CUT ISIAH LOOSE. THIS WIN TWO LOSE SIX, WIN ONE, LOSE EIGHT CRAP WITHOUT EVEN PUTTING FORTH AN EFFORT IS A JOKE.

The best blog KB has written since Isiah Thomas took office – short, simple, self-explain, and straight to the point.

But don’t expect Isiah Thomas to resign. It’s obvious Thomas wants to get fire so he will get the money from his contract.

Also, don’t expect James Dolan to fire Isiah Thomas. Dolan and Thomas are fun buddies and they had a threesome together and Thomas still has the pictures. Maybe throwing another 5 years extension to Thomas will encourage Thomas to do some REAL coaching.

Its not Starburys fault. He is by far the best point guard in the NBA, without a doubt yo!

Hey for all the fault that people want to put on Isaiah and Dolan. I think much of the blame has to be put on the players. One thing that can be said about the Knicks and other New York teams is that they will pay money for players. I could tell from the first three minutes of the Nationally Televised Game! that they didn’t come to play. Ultimately some of the blame has to be put on the players. Curry, Steph, Jared Jefferies! I’m not saying that I like the job Dolan and Isaiah are doing but they are not the ones out there on the court. I think the GM and owner should think twice about the players they are going to pay this big money to. The Knicks as we all know have a history of paying players at the end of their superstar prime or with some type of baggage. X McDaniel Rolando Blackman Larry Johnson (loved him because played his heart out even though he was hurt) Eddy Curry Jared Jefferies. One comment on Jared. I was a big fan of his signing for defensive purposes basically put him on the team?s best player Lebron James Paul Pierce etc….. That’s the sole reason they brought him in and he hasn’t played a lick of defense. If I’m Isaiah I don’t let him shoot in practice, shoot around I don’t even let him touch a basketball I make him work on his defense 24/7. I could vent more but I’ll stop for now.

When remembering massive losses on the road and teams that nonetheless came back, don’t forget this one:

One of the greatest afternoons of my life.
