The 2007-08 New York Knicks Thread

rival.

if he doesn't get fired after this... i don't think he is going to ever get fired.

you could accept a loss to the celtics if it was by 15, where they were close before the celtics closed it out. well at least charles barkley's comments on inside the nba should be funny..

NY PJ1

hahah at last they hit a 3 to get to 59

Just came back from the game.
We left at the end of the third quarter.
Everyone was booing and chanting "fire Isaiah"
The sixers were not even good.
I've seen high school games waaay more entertaining than this one.

some numbers that are pertinent to the latest disaster:

16-6 Sixers rebounding edge after one
28-12 sixers rebounding edge at halftime
47-27 sixers rebounding edge for the game
12-12 rebounds for reggie evans at halftime and rebounds for the knicks at the break.

it was so bad, they were playing music on possessions to drown out the "Fire Isiah" chants.

Getting rid of Isiah would be great, like putting a band aid on a bullet wound. As long as Dolan owns the team, it doesn't matter who the coach is

it doesn't matter what fans do or say, dolan is sticking with him like he stuck with sather in 2003-04 when "Fire Sather" became the most popular chants at Ranger games. Why would he really care when he just found out that his franchise is valued at 600 million?

I'd rather have the Sixers players. Their record might be not good but at least they play hard.

I sincerely didn't think that the Knicks would be that bad again this season! I'm totally devastated!

xavier mcdaniel

it probably can, everytime they hit a low, another one is right around the corner.

well at least he was honest, although he forgot to acknowledge he assembled this team, d'oh. those are his postgame comments from the lastest debacle:


“A team makes a run at us, and collectively we just cave,” Thomas said. “We just give in. We had a good basketball game going, and then all of the sudden, for whatever reason, our team stopped competing as a team and we just gave in and let it happen. There has to be some individual professional pride that comes from the guys out on the floor. Tonight, we didn’t have that.”



“I mean, as a coach, you bring certain things to the table, but our collective energy, our collective heart, our collective toughness, we say the right things but we don’t gut it out four 48 minutes. We don’t grind and we don’t compete like we should for 48 minutes.

“There are a lot of things that can be said about me, and the teams that I’ve coached and the way I’ve played, but I’ve never been accused of not having heart or competing, and tonight was very discouraging to me because we didn’t collectively play with heart and compete like I know I do.”


“I think we have the talent, but just because you have the talent and the skill doesn’t mean you have the heart,” Thomas said. “I’m not talking one individual. You’ve gotta have heart as a team.

“The one thing we prided ourselves on last year was that we didn’t always play well, but I thought as a team we had heart, and we had courage and we competed. I’m not getting that out of this group right now.”
