I said in a previous thread that in football the words ?high ankle sprain? are invariably followed by the words ?six to eight weeks.? I don?t see why it would be any different in basketball.

I was actually going to post a “good job” to whoever made that previous comment, because it turned out to be SOO on point. I didn’t know it was you, Dave!

Good job!

it doesn’t mean he can’t be fired in a year or two, it just means Dolan is on the hook for more money if that happens.

Fine for Isiah to finish out his contract at which point a full evaluation can be made but an extension? Like some other team would snap him up if his contract runs out. This ownership is completely depressing.

a multiyear extension for the universally loved Isiah, seemingly for both jobs:

“Interesting Newsday piece on Lee, making the case he is the injured player in the Eastern Conference most missed by his team. Apparently they have botched his rehab by being too optimistic at the start.”

Aside from rebounding and a little bit of D,Francis gets to the line a LOT. Always has. Crawford could, but sits out there chucking up 3s. No reason to push him out the door, but aside from the rookie contracts JC is the only guy on the team with any trade value at all, so obviously he is a good bargaining chip if we’re in the hunt for someone like Rashard Lewis, or trying to move up in the draft.

hopefully it doesn’t come down to that, since NJ ALWAYS beats us.

Out of the four teams struggling for the final two spots in the east, the 3 that aren’t the Knicks have been really struggling.

I really don’t mean to jump the gun, but I would say New Jersey has the best chance of finishing ahead of the Knicks. Interestingly, we’re scheduled to play them twice in the last week of the season. Those are looking to be some very, very intense games.
