I mean if it makes us better than fine, but I dunno if he's still got it.

because:

1) his contract finally expired this summer and he wants more money.

2) he might be able to provide the leadership that's been missing from the head coach and starting point guard.

3) roger clemens was unavailable.

he should just coach the team

it wouldn't work. he's too competent.

EDIT: i've always been a fan of herb williams for head coach.

true that.

maybe John Starks?!

I was there. It was the ugliest night I've seen in the three-plus seasons of doing this, uglier than the night Howard Stern walked out in the third quarter on Opening night in 2004.

29 turnovers, 17 steals for the Warriors and many scowls on the face of Jim Dolan. When I saw Steve Mills return to his seat near Dolan in the third quarter for a second I thought he was coming back from drawing up the papers to fire Isiah.

I read this in the newspaper and am curious if it's true....Is Dolan seated in a spot where only one camera (MSG's) can actually get a shot of him, but they are banned from actually focusing on him? In other words, he is seated where newspaper photographers can not get a clear picture of him.

As a Dolan/cablevision hater, I can't help but enjoy this immensely. But hey, at least they blocked the Jets new arena down the block.

It's true. He also has PR staffers type in their blackberries what the players and coaches are saying about various topics. I assume this information finds its way to Dolan at some point.

I don't know a thing about basketball, but I really think it doesn't matter if the coach gets fired, or Marbury gets cut. I don't think they'll be any good or even a respectable operation until Dolan has his favorite toys taken away from him.

that's definitely a factor but they could still be better if a proven basketball man was brought in and left alone to do his thing. If they ever do get rid of Marbury it will be the first time that the team he was traded from won't get better because his contract is terrible trade-value wise.

A proven and competent basketball person doesn't use their mid-level exception on the likes of Jerome James and Jared Jefferies.

A proven and competent basketball person at some point uses a draft pick to get an impact player at some point. Nate Robinson and David Lee are ok players for what they are - role players.

A proven and competent basketball person doesn't trade the franchise player (Patrick Ewing) as his contract is headed into the final year. That's among the things that started the Knicks on their current trajectory.

Knicks are down by 45. 82-37
