He is the Right Choice
Why should a coach be chosen based on what media guy says is the right choice. What do they know? If they were so smart, they would be running a team and not their mouths. D'Antoni is the right choice because A.) He is willing to take on this losing proposition..B) His game plan is more offense than defense, which matches the absolute horrendously defense challenged Knicks...C.) He is not an arrogant ex-player who will come up with every excuse in the world for his pals...er players.

CAMP
D'Antoni should send Curry to Hubie Browns NBA Gladiatorial Big Mans Camp...Either he'll graduate or die trying Ha Ha!!!!
04/28/2008 2:19PM
New Coach
I think the new coach should be Charles Barkley
04/27/2008 7:41AM
Bobby Knight
How come Bobby Knights name has not come up as a real candidate for the Knicks head coaching job? It seems to be that there are many good reasons for it. 1. Perfect person to work with the young Knicks and revitalize the franchise. Why? He is available, Donny Walsh is an Indiana guy. It would absolutely sell out the Garden, Bobby's done it all in college, now he can become the legend of the Knicks. I believe he would wip the Knicks into shape. We need a no nonsence coach like Bobby Knight who will stir up the Knicks. I WOULD LOVE TO SEE BOBBY KNIGHT AS THE NEXT KNICKS COACH!!!

knicks need a bigtime, experienced nba coach, the job requires it, ny media, the fans, gotta be someone who has been there done that. I like rick carlisle
04/22/2008 4:39PM
patrick ewing
how great would it be to see him back on the bench in some sort of coaching capacity. The city needs to be reminded that we were great once(not champs , but good enought to get there!) not too long ago, and Ewing would bring that type of roughouse play that the knicks used to be known for.

So Isiah has been let go as coach but he'll stay w/ the team in some capacity. Here's a perfect job for him, he can run the food & drinks so he can sell his cardboard tasting popcorn of his. Also, Imagine a Toronto Raptors-Utah Jazz NBA Finals? Mention that to David Stern & ABC-TV suits and they'll vomit non-stop like Kate Moss in front of a buffet table!!!!
04/17/2008 11:22AM
i miss john starks
The next Knicks head coach should NOT be Scott Skiles (too much baggage and the media would devour him like Dobermans at an all you can eat buffet.) or Mark Jackson (Don't get me wrong, loved Action back in the day but he should get his feet wet in the D-League) but they should hire HERB WILLIAMS because he's been a starter & role player in the league, he knows the team and can be more of a imposing presence as far as discipline is concerned!!!! Management should not go for the BIG NAME AGAIN. Been there done that as the name of Don Nelson comes to mind.

Remember that shoe commercial from years ago where the guy talks about a player having HEART, HUSTLE and SOUL. Lets put this in a nutshell about the New York Bricks. They have NO HEART, they DON'T HUSTLE and lost their SOUL a long time ago.
04/10/2008 9:26PM
Jeff Van Gundy- HIRE HIM BACK !
A Real coach who actually plays to win ! GET GUNDY BACK !

We are NOW eliminated from playoff contention. Seriously, we were eliminated in January in my opinion!!!! I feel sorry for MSG's Johnathan Coachman because he has to do reports on a sorry franchise and then he goes to his other job as color commentatorfor the WWE's Friday Night Smackdown and lets face it, the sports entertainers of Vince McMahon's company are better athletes and give 100% night in and night out unlike the New York Bricks.

Re: Marbury Gone???
If Dolan had a half a brain, there's no way he lets Isiah/Walsh trade Marbury. If they do that, then the Knicks get more horrible contracts (a la Patrick Ewing in 2001, and, basically every stupid move that Isiah made). We're stuck with Marbury next year. We get rid of him and Curry. We get a couple lottery picks the next couple years. Hopefully Isiah is gone. And then we can start rooting for the Knicks again, even if they dont win 40 games the next 5 years... A contendor in 2015 is our best bet...
03/21/2008 10:50PM
Kiddy Land!
Could anybody find msg 2 on cable tv tonite?????
03/20/2008 10:36PM
Knicks are horrendous !
Dolan can't fire Isiah soon enough. Then, once he's done, he should fire himself. The Knicks are terrible and unwatchable. The next step is to keep maybe 4 or 5 players on roster and get rid of the rest.
03/20/2008 7:46AM
WHO WANTS TO WORK FOR DOLAN?
Hey whom ever we get still will be a Yes Man...He will not have Free rein to do what he wants to WIN.
03/15/2008 11:37AM

Maybe the Knicks should take a page out of the Bronx Evil Empire and have Woody Allen coach and have Spike Lee play point guard just to keep things interesting since the season was SHOT eons ago. BAM! I'll be here all week folks. ENJOY SUPERTRAMP!!!!
03/14/2008 1:59PM
stop
are people still going to games.I cannot believe support them return your tickets for something else.the organization doesn't care what happens as long the money keeps coming in.
03/12/2008 12:42PM
Vacation For Isiah
The Knicks should follow the method of Pat Riley who is considering to leave coaching for scouting in the last quarter of the season for prospective players. Maybe Isiah should follow suit.
03/07/2008 9:19AM
Lebron win one title
I know everone wants to anoint this guy as the next Jordan. I want to see him win just one title before he is even in the discusion.
03/07/2008 9:13AM
Lebron
Is there one Knick who can get a hand in his face or maybe play help defense. They all looked like Spanish Madedors. Pitful Isahia should fire himeself.
03/06/2008 2:21PM
Fire Isaiah
Hey knicks Hire Larry frank and turn ER a kinckerbocker fan
03/03/2008 3:29PM
Question?????
To all Basket Ball AFICIONADOS..Beat writers..an NY sport reporters...This owner acts so ERRATIC..you think he[Dolan} might lift the Knicks out of NY,..and become the St. louis or Baltimore Knicks??????
03/02/2008 8:23PM
NBA Rule Change Idea
What do you think about prohibiting calling time outs to save possession? (When a player is trapped, lying on the floor, or unable to inbound the ball) Everyone loves the rule prohibiting calling timeouts while flying out of bounds. It seems like a logical extension. Thanks Paul R Mount Sinai Hospital, NY
03/02/2008 6:18PM
Laughingstock, Inc.
Is it just me, or have the scores and headlines proven every single night that this once - proud, historic franchise has become a professional sports laughingstock? And now Dolan has a open mind to bringin' Kiki into the GM spot and keepin' Isiah as coach? What pipe is he smokin' from now? I'm tellin' y'all, NYC, our beloved Knicks will b the #1 joke of the NBA and NY sports until new ownership takes over...if that happens ever.

FLASH....JUST IN.
A-ROD is coming to the Knicks!
03/01/2008 11:04AM
The season has long been over.
Can we please find out if Randolph Morris and Wilson Chandler can play? The season is over. Eddy Curry is only playing the first ten minutes of the game anyway. Let's see what these young guys can do. We won't know if they don't get any court time.
02/28/2008 9:44PM
Marburry Gone???
If Marburry goes its because of Dolan...Dolan didn,t like that little insident with the female emplyoee, that came out in the court case...was embarassing!..So Dolan want to dump him???!!??
02/28/2008 5:19PM
Knicks can win!
If Rick Pitino would just press a little more, the Knicks should win some games. He should keep Trent Tucker and Kiki vandeweghe on the wings and have Jackson dribble at the top of the key with Ewing and Oakley down low. Just as long as he doesn;t bingin Gerald Wilkins cause he sucks. Eddie Lee Wilkins can play (as a backup to Ewing) but not Gerald. Johnny Newman and Kenny "Sky" Walker can always score as well!
02/21/2008 1:52AM
BLOWN OUT
Knicks are going for the most Blown out games in one season HA HA.
02/21/2008 1:43AM
Makes Sense?
That sounds plausible..The phrophet Isiah is taking RISK..Going for High Stakes???.....If he fails he should dress in his finest white suit and commit Hara-Kiri on center court at the Garden!!??!!
02/21/2008 12:20AM
The Bad, The Ugly, The Bottom
Here it is before you folks, plain and simple. Isiah has built a team to awe you. No, they don't do it with speedy guards or hulking paint cloggers. They do it with heart-wrenching drama. Isiah drafts big men with a bad record, and wannabe superstars that no one will ever think can make a team better. He's ejected the most efficient players from the roster, and bulked it up with useless, good-once-a-month contract disasters. Honestly, no one in their right mind should trust Isiah with this team for much longer. Let the contracts expire, get a good quality coach who can teach fundamentals without drama and hire a GM who can scout out what the team needs in personnel and players.
02/16/2008 7:24PM
King James is Coming
As silly as it may sound Isiah has positioned the Knicks to have the best player in the NBA in a Knicks uniform after next season. Marburry contract comes off of the books then and a few others. People don't realize that next summer will be the best free agent group ever. Lebron,Wade, Kobe, Okafur, Ben Gordon, are just a few. The Knicks with Lebron would be the best team in the east. And one thing that the Knicks have over any other team when it comes to bidding on Lebron is Nike $$$$$$$$$$$. Nike has it in Lebrons and Kobes contracts that they get a $20 million dollar hike if he plays in NYC. So the next time you hear the Mad Dog or Joe bashing Isiah the secret on why dolan hasn't fired Isiah is out. Two Words. Lebron James !! Coming to NYC summer 2009 !!!!!
02/16/2008 6:45AM
Question???
The Great Basketball minds think Dolan will dump Isiah end of the season as coach,...Will they let him stay on as GM??????

why him
02/07/2008 3:10PM
isiah & dolan
I wonder if the reason isiah is still coach is because he must have something on dolan in reference to the harssment case.emm!!!
02/06/2008 4:14PM
UGH
Short of dousing a garden employee in gasoline and lighting them on fire, what does this man need to do to get fired??? We need a GM with REAL basketball IQ that knows how to assemble WINNING talent. This team does not have 1 player that knows what it takes to win at the championship level. David Lee is the only one a fan can even root for.
02/01/2008 3:29PM

GET VAN GUNDY BACK, BRING TRACY MCGRADY AND JASON KIDD TO THE GARDEN AND SEE YOU AT THE CHAMPIONSHIP!!!!

salary cap
he does not understand anything about the cap. He trades expiring contracts for big money long term guys. (ie steve francis ,tim thomas, many more) the best this team could ever do under this chump thomas is win a 1st round series.... and they are light years away from that.
01/16/2008 9:18PM
The Titanic Knicks
The New york knicks are the owners of the sinking ship the fans are third class passengers doomed to sink and thomas will be the guy who blows his brains out just after telling the dolans its been a pleasure working with them
01/12/2008 7:16AM
QUESTION????
Why do they want to fire Isiah?????...What did he do?????
01/10/2008 12:36PM
Inconsistent Results
The Knicks today are disgraceful. They lose by double digits to single win teams, and yet can play and win or dog it out with teams like San Antonio. It's been maddening to watch these Knicks the past four years. They lack defense, mental and physical toughness, and a desire to win. Their offense first strategy has failed, as the Knicks have players with identical rap sheeps; they fill the box score and hog the ball, committed only to their statline and not to win. The Knicks need to implode the roster, fire Isiah, and hope the draft brings them quality players who can play as a team.

01/09/2008 11:34AM
Pathetic
In all my years as an NBA fan I can honestly say that since the demise of the Knicks, the NBA is just not interesting anymore. The Knicks are the heart and soul of the NBA. Hell I'm not even a Knicks fan, but I have to admit that things are always better when the Knicks are in playoff contention. Isiah can not do the job, Dolan is a moron, and the entire organization is PATHETIC. The players are PATHETIC. I would rather have all the players from Iona or Manhattan playing for the Knicks, at least then you know the team would play together.
01/08/2008 11:49PM
where have you gone John Starks
big deal they won tonight. These morons thought they won the NBA Finals. The Bulls are the same as the Knicks and they didn't have Luol Deng tonight. Fire Isiah!! Get rid of all these stiffs also.
01/08/2008 11:11PM
AMAZAEMENT!!!!!!
The Knicks won a Game...I thought they were going for the 1st Perfect Losing season in NBA history????
01/08/2008 7:23PM
so sick of their awfulness
it's been such a terrible string of seasons that I'm actually excited about the possibilty of getting a top 3 pick in the draft. watch Isaiah trade the pick for an aging, disgruntled ex-star player who plays no defense.
01/08/2008 7:19PM
awful
2nd or 3rd pick in the draft is the best case scenario at this point. just go ahead & keep losing. thanks for yet another terrible season.

Isiah, yo mama must be very proud!
Has there ever been a worse franchise then the new York Knicks are now? Has there ever been a worse Coach and/or GM then Isiah Thomas in the history of sport, ANY sport? The Knicks are the Jamican Bobsled Team and Thomas is the Eddie The eagl;e of the NBA. AND if you keep going to the games, Buying the "Stuff" that idiot Dolan has no reason to make a change. Its in the fans hands now.. STOP supporting this franchise in EVERY way possible.
01/05/2008 3:18AM
Only in New York!
Only in New York can someone be found guilty of sexual harrassment and still hold his job. And only the Dolans can allow this farce of a GM/coach to continue without any repercussions. How long can this losing team continue with the embarrassing play they consistently display. Oh do I miss those wonderful days when the garden rocked, watching the exiting play by the team of the ninties. When Ewing and company had everyone cheering and standing tall as a Knick fan. When will the misery end?

Middle of the ocean in a sail boat and there is no wind or breeze you will sit in one spot and drift, very unpleasant feeling!...That is called the DOLDRUMS...your there as long as it last...knicks are the sail boat...The Dolans are the Doldrums, so we are caught in the Dolans AAGH.
12/30/2007 10:23PM
Isiah only shows up hour and half before game today
Isiah is only really interested in collecting his undeserving paycheck. He shows up only an hour and half before todays embarassing loss to Bulls and it was apparent there was no coaching preperation for todays games. This just goes to show that Dolan could care less about winning as he continues to let isiah destroy this franchise with no regards for the Knicks future which is only getting worse the longer isiah stays. He is the worse coach and GM I have ever seen in any sport.
12/29/2007 11:00PM

they are the worst knick team in years. you missed nothing
12/29/2007 10:59PM

nothing they are the worst knick team in years. isiah cant find any set of players to play out there.
12/29/2007 10:03PM
Thomas as GM
Did'nt he bring these players here? Does Thomas make all basketball calls. The Knicks stinks, period, they continue to stink , someone should be held accountable , if not Thomas then who? the answer is obvious but Dolan has no pride and will continue tobe a loser inspite of the money his father made him.

Donte Greene will be a Legend
I think Donte Greene is worth tanking the season for he will be a legend in the Nba he is a great all around player and could be the best player to come through the Nba Draft since Micheal Jordan the Knicks would be smart to realize this and start tanking the season like the Sonics and Trailblazers did last year. He is worth it i beleive
12/20/2007 9:52AM
Donte Greene I agree
Were all on the same page I believe Donte Greene is a garrantee will be Superstar in the NBA he is worth tanking the season for he is better than Beasley, Mayo, and Rose
12/20/2007 12:15AM
what the hell???
whats this abomination!!!...WHY are they trying to WIN????...how we gonna get into the lottery if they play like this, What isiah and dolan doing????????
12/19/2007 8:15PM

i watched 5 mins of the knick game just to see if any fire isiah signs. 1st game i watched in two seasons.
12/19/2007 7:13PM
Donte Greene is worth it
As a Syracuse Basketball fan Donte Greene is a big time star he can shoot, play defense, score inside and can score in bunches. If i were the knicks i would tank the season and take him with the number 1 pick in the draft. Absolutley
12/19/2007 7:03PM
Donte Greene I agrree
I completly agree with you i would tank the season also and take Donte Greene with the 1 pick in the draft
12/19/2007 12:03PM

I would also tank the season and take Donte Greene with the top pick in the draft he is a star

Stop supporting the team. Don't buy tickets, make a stand!
12/17/2007 3:27PM
Straight to the pros?
Eddie Curry's problems of the court reflect his lack of fundamentals. He is the poster boy for not jumping to the pros from HS. Things like defending the pick and roll and help defense in the interior are skills he could have developed in college. Thepro level is not the place to learn the basics. At the NBA levl it is about tweaking the essential skills not wholesal learning. To bad for Eddie, the system let him down!
12/17/2007 1:28PM

Marbury and Thomas: A 20 win combination
Not for nothing, but Starbury and Isiah together spell disaster. Everwhere Starbury went, his teams plummeted while his stats rose. What ever Isiah touched appears to turn to be gold, but was later found to be a browner, smellier substance. Isiah may of been a great player, a decent coach, and an eye for talent, but he has no business running a financial juggernaut like the NY Knick payroll. Starbury may shine with better, more team oriented players, but as the solo act in NY, he has done nothing. I'm sorry, but both have to go if the Knicks are ever to rebuild from the Starbury-Isiah era.
12/12/2007 2:05PM
Sick of it all!!!
I'm sick of turning on the game when I get home from work and we are already down by 10 in the 1st. I'm sick of our mini runs in the game that get the crowd goin but then we end up falling short in modern knick fashion. I'm sick of hear how hard Isiah's up bringing was and how the goal is to win (no crap!!!). Sick of hearing Isiah, PPERIOD. Sick of losing. Sick of not being able to enjoy my favorite team, ecspecially when there is nothing else on tv to watch. Sick of Dolan. Sick of Marbury. Sick of players not trying. Sick of no defense. Sick of excuses. SICK OF IT ALL!!!
12/12/2007 1:29PM
Horse Trader Isiah
All Isiah Thomas does is trade players like a con man does with horses. He exalts how better this player is over say the rest of the field and gives a few intangibles as to what/would make him a great player. Then the player does decently, and eventually finds himself traded for someone else of equal talent OR to get a collection of pieces for one that is slightly above average. In addition, Isiah has "wasted" his last four years worth of draft picks between trading them away, letting them go, or getting players of decent skill, only to trade them away too. Remember Sweetney, Lampe, Frye, and Ariza? All Thomas did was draft them, showcase them as competitive players or with a specialty (Ariza a defender, Channing a shooter) and then dump them for another suspect trade. Really, the only interest I have in watching the Knicks now is to see what team Isiah will con into next with his horse trading scheme.

There should be a congressional investigation into the waterboarding of New York Knick fans
12/12/2007 9:33AM
Sell the team? Keep dreamin'!
Stop asking Dolan to sell the team. It ain't happening. He is making too much money. Going to the next level under him, who do you want as GM and then as coach here? Chris Mullin would have been nice, but as he already stated, he wants no part of this fiasco. I like Kiki Vandeweghe. I do not know if there is a high profile coach that will take this job. Stop with the "fire Isaiah" stuff. What are sollutions to this problem besides firing him. I don't want to hear just bring anybody in to be GM and coach. You KNOW that is not acceptable. We do not want Bob Weiss coaching this team, do we??? I swear by Hubie Brown. He would whip these guys into shape. Hubie probably does not want the stress. But he is one man that I feel would turn this team into a hustling team. I'll tell you this much; He won't stand for any BS from any of these players.
12/11/2007 2:53PM
Knicks need an Extreme Makeover!
The Knicks need to clean house and get a new owner and management team. There is no respect left for this group of misfits. Dolan has taken a storied franchise and turned it into a laughing stock.

This is not just an Isaiah problem. First Cablevision management in the name of Chuck Dolan should move his son (Jim) out of MSG and insert a seasoned NBA exec. who knows his way around the league. Of course, they won't be able to undo the lousy deals of the past (with all the cap problems); but before any team personnel changes occur...you have to clean house upstairs. How does this group stack-up to Gutkowski/Cheketts etal? Not a dime...
12/11/2007 9:33AM
DO NOT Fire Isaiah!!!
do us a favor and sell the team. dolan should not get to fire him. the new owner should fire him
12/11/2007 7:39AM
Boo Dolan and boycott knicks
Dolan's the problem if you go to the game boo dolan he's the whiney spoiled brat who's ruined this team. We should also boycott the team, make him pay for making our lives miserable.
12/03/2007 6:37PM
Why?
Why root for the knicks. Their last few losses make you wanna start becoming a Bull's fan!
12/01/2007 3:43PM
Remedy
The first things that the Knicks need are a top class coach, a top class GM and top class ownership. With these things in place the rest always follows. The ownership needs changed first. A top class owner will hire a top class GM who in turn will hire the right coach. Results will then pick up significantly in the short term through the improved coaching while the right trade and free agency moves will be made to create a dynasty. It sounds simple and it is but organisations like the Clippers show how incompetent ownership etc can ruin a franchise for decades.

quentin was dumb deal too...forgot to gripe about that one....dump marbury, quentin, curry, crawford and bring in new troops...keep lee, balkman, robinson, etc.
11/30/2007 4:18PM
ke
Dump Marbury. It starts with the point guard. He's the field general and should set the tone for unselfishness and defense. He's never been an elite point guard. Real point guards include nash, kidd, parker....he's a disgrace to new york...and he'sa native.
11/30/2007 1:29PM
Boycott the Knicks!
Save us Charles Dolan or David Stern! To all u knick fans, its time to boycott the team. Please stop going to the games, watching them on tv, listening to them on the radio and stop buying knick merchandise. Its a shame that Jim Dolan fails to realize how bad the knicks are. Its our job as fans to force a change!

Tarnished his 'Star" bury
How can a local schoolyard legend act this way on and off of the court and expect anyone to respect him ever again? What a terrible shame that he doesn't see the big picture. Oh, and by the way, Eddy Curry(ied) chicken absolutely stinks! What a waste of a big, talented body. All he can do is back the defender in and challenge the referee to call a charge or a foul. he's can't shoot free throws either. Let's not talk about his apathy towards defense. I like Randolph, puffy face and all! Imagine how quick he would be if he got in shape. David Lee looks like he can't wait to be the next trade victim! Jamal is one dimensional and q-Rich is hurt. Oh, and 'Q', could you avoid press clippings?

THE CUrSE of EWING!
this is the curse of patrick ewing they need to bring him back to be head coach and replace isiah!
11/30/2007 9:48AM
Laughing all the way to the bank!!
With all of the stuff going on at the Garden, Larry brown must be laughing all the way to the bank! Didn't L.B try the same stuff with Steph and get no support from isiah ? Wasn't Larry right to change his starting lineup more than his underwear to keep these fat cats on their toes? He is the forgotten man. He knew what was up and couldn't wait to leave.
11/29/2007 10:56PM
a big eff u to Dolan/Cablevision
I just got my notice of an increase to my cablevision bill, for "programming costs". it's time for transparency. it's pretty obvious my increase will go towards the forthcoming $12 million settlement for sexual harrassment done by out favorite coach and manager, Isiah. Hey Dolan/Cablevision, where's my NHL refund for 2 years ago, when there was no hockey but you charged me. EFF YOU Cablevision and Dolan. As soon as FIOS is available Im outta here, to the lesser of two evils.
11/29/2007 1:37PM
I cant read the Knicks
The Knicks are probally the wierdest team i have ever seen play. Even throught all the controversy that and the circus going on that always that surrounds the Knicks i have a strange feeling that the Knicks will make the playoffs. I cant explain it.
11/23/2007 7:13AM
Responding to letter to NY Sportswriters
I don't know if it will help but I sure admire your passion for your team. Good-Luck !
11/22/2007 1:29AM
The Pittsburgh Pirates of the NBA
Why isn't Isiah fired? This team plays with no passion, they're just a bunch of imbecils who run around in circles pretending to to play basketball. Just like the Pittsburgh Pirates, their motto is "dedicated to mediocrity" where they're going to be bad for many years to come. I'd rather the Discovery Channel than watching the Knicks. They're better off dumping this whole team and get a streetball team from Harlem to play, at least you'll see some excitement. I'll bet anyone that this pitiful Knicks team could lose to a NCAA team
11/21/2007 12:16PM
I sent this letter to NY Sportswriters - what do you all think?
Dear Mr. ______, My name is Alec B and I am a concerned, no, frightened Knick fan. I know that I don%u2019t have to recount all of Isiah%u2019s transgressions at this time. You, I, almost every Knick fan knows that Isiah should be gone. He should have been gone a long time ago. But after all of this time, he still remains at the helm and he still disgraces the team we know and love on a nightly basis. The Knicks are an embarrassment, and every Knick fan feels and senses this embarrassment. We live this embarrassment. This might make me and fellow Knick fans pathetic, but it%u2019s a fact of life when you are a loyal sports fan. We must do more. I don%u2019t have the forum to really make an impact, but I am sending you this email/letter so that, as a loyal Knick fan, I can look myself in the mirror and said I did all I could for the team that I love. Because at the end of the day, there are Yankees fans, and there are Met fans. Giant fans, Jet fans. Ranger fans, Devil fans, and Islander fans. But (and I do not mean to disrespect the Nets) the Knicks unite all of us. Where enemies from the spring, summer, and fall suddenly become friends in the winter. Under one banner, under one (formerly) great tradition. And so I ask of you, I beg of you Mr. _____ to understand the great position you play in all of this and write a column that basically says: A Plea To All Knick Fans: STOP GOING TO GAMES! We know that Jim Dolan won%u2019t wake up one day, realize he is a megalomaniac, and make the necessary changes. He is entranced by Isiah, much like the King who was entranced by the evil sorcerer in the second Lord of the Rings. But if you, (I would if I could but no one will listen to me) and all of NY Sports columnists write the same plea to Knick fans, to stop going to games, to boycott the Garden, then change will come. Mr. _____, you and your peers have the power to change the situation. You and your peers have a great chance to end the embarrassment, end the torture. With your great power comes great responsibility. And so if we can get you and your peers to beg Knick fans to stop going to games, change will come. It has to. Because we have reached the end of what we can take as fans. Our unrelenting love will only go so far. Jim Dolan and his ilk have sullied the great Knick name. It is up to you and your peers to bring us back. You can do this. I beg you to do this. Have a great day and thanks for listening. You keep writing great articles and I%u2019ll keep reading them. All the best, Alec B

Warriors Humiliate the Knicks
The Warriors Humiliated the Knicks last nite. The fans were shoutig Fire Isiah at the end. Liston to them Dolan and end the Knicks fan's agony.
11/20/2007 7:28PM
Eminent Domain
Their must be a way for the league to take back control of the franchise. If a McDonalds franchisee isn't performing and/or maintaining certain standards, McDonalds takes back the store, fixes it and then sells it. The NBA must have some kind of similar mechanism to address incompetent management of its teams. Anyone know if this is possible?
11/20/2007 5:13PM
Break UP
BREAK UP EVERYONE and that means EVERYONE. TOP TO BOTTOM!!!!!!
11/17/2007 9:16AM
Fire Isiah
Is it ever more clear that Isiah must be fired from both of his positions ?
11/16/2007 12:47PM
What are they waiting for?
Buy him out, fire the other guy and let Herb coach the team. We need peace and quiet so we can just concentrate on the game. Dolan won't be a problem because the two main culprits will be out of town.

Starbury and Kobe in same backcourt !!!
The two really deserve each other. They both love ot hog the basketball. They both love to get involved with young unsuspecting girls.
11/14/2007 6:45PM
UGH!!!
Good god since the Dolans took over the Knicks and MSG it has been othing but embarrassment, scandal idiocy and a downward spiral in talent and basoc humanity. What er really need is not just to get rid of that Smiling Moron Isaiah and his thug pet project Stephon "The Loser" Marbury, but the Commish needs to step in and have the League buy the Knicks and the GArden form those deluded pigs the Dolans
11/13/2007 11:30PM
TRADE HIM!!!!!!
SEND STARBURY AND HIS "BUDDY" "NATE THE SKATE" TO DA KINGS FOR RON ARTEST ASAP!!!!!!!!!!!!!
11/13/2007 9:26PM
Starbury is AWOL in AZ.
The Knicks Starbury point guard decided to pick up his ball and go home when Isaih had the nerve to tell him he wanted Starbury to play defense and be a leader on offense and that his playing time would be reduced until he does both of those things.
11/13/2007 12:44PM
The Knicks Are Improved Somewhat!
The Knicks have been improved. Zack Randolph has been a great addition and Eddy Curry and him have played well together. I like Jamal Crawford and David Lee is a work horse player that does the dirty work and Nate Robinson brings energy and Renaldo Balkman has been a alright player. With the Positives theier are negatives the Knicks are a horrible team defending the three-pointer and Zack Randolph and Eddy Curry are not great defensively. The Biggest problem is Stephon Marbuary i hate him alot. The knicks could trade him to the Indiana Pacers for Jamal Tinsley.
11/13/2007 8:33AM
Artest for David Lee ? NO WAY
I have heard thru the grapevine that the Knicks are looking to trade for Ron Artest and have heard David Lee's name as part of the trade. We dont need another Thug on this team. David Lee is a role model of hard work and maturity and a great player besides. Artest has a proven record of fighting and destroying cameras etc. we dont need him with the Knicks.
11/12/2007 8:12AM
Knicks are racist organization
It is obvious that Isiah is a racist and has no respect for females. The fact that Jim Dolan keeps him means that Dolan is a racist and anti female as well. As a white male I was appaled at what Isiah said about his White fan base in court. I would not step foot in MSG ever until Isiah is gone.
11/11/2007 3:40AM
Durant
Trade lee and nate for kevin durant
11/09/2007 4:23PM
Isiah is the man!
Z. Randolph will take the Knicks to the next level. Playoffs and possibly a first round victory!
11/09/2007 4:21PM
Time is NOW
Knicks make the playoffs and win the first round!!! Thats right, I said it!
11/02/2007 3:54PM
Time for the Knicks
Lets get the season started. David Lee and Renaldo Balkman are great. Marbury and Curry stink, but if Thomas puts in the right line up, the Knicks can win 40.
11/02/2007 11:09AM
Train wreck
keep D. Lee and clean house. Start with the two from Seattle Nate and JAmal, then the one demensional Q rich, bye ZACH and Curry, so long........wait a minute.......just get rid of ZEKE and we'll go from there.
10/25/2007 2:27PM
All ABOUT The Money
I see we'll have Jerome James on the bench instead of the kid from Syracuse and th kid from Marist. Down the road these kids could probably help, James will never. He's the worst. Anther great sign by Thomas, along with Jefferies and Crawford. What a disgrace!! He's still got a job.
10/24/2007 10:25PM
50 wins or bust
With the talent the knicks have thanks to Isiah, the Knicks should win 50 games this season. Zach Randolph is a legit scorer who put up All star numbers last season playing in the Western Conference against dominate teams. Along with Eddy Curry and David Lee, the knicks should dominate the paint.
10/24/2007 10:04AM
What this place needs is an enema!
But there would be nothing left!!!!!

Way to go Joe Beningo
For all those losers that say Joe B. is a pessimist because he says negative things about the teams he roots for, well, tell me now, where is he wrong. Only a true fan will tell it like it is and not sugar coat it. What he is in my book is a realist. Why call it anything else but what it is and that is, JUNK! This piece of crap of a team is nothing shorter than a laughing stock to the league. What a shame!
10/18/2007 4:51AM
Hellooooo, is anyone home?
Where the heck is Dolan in all of this mess? Does he not see the disaster that is stinking up the Garden? Is there no justice in the pain the fans have to endure watching this crap! I can do a better job in privacy of my own bathroom and the best part it is free! Why would anyone in their right mind want to pay to see this junk!
10/18/2007 4:32AM
What this place needs is an enema!
The knicks stink so bad that the only thing powerful enough to clean up this crap is a "Garden Enema". One good whoosh up the backend and presto! See all the garbage wash out! Can anything get uglier?
10/18/2007 4:26AM
This is basketball?
You know what the knicks have become? They are the team that the Harlem Globetrotters would always beatup on. Ahhh the good old days of Ewing, Oakley and Starks. The days when it was fun to be at the Garden. Now, it is the house of misery!
10/18/2007 3:06AM
What a disaster!
Did anyone see the disgrace with the Boston Celtics? Can we predict right now that if we win 15 games that will be too much. And Isiah Thomas still has a job? What kool-aide is Dolan drinking? Where can we purchase the Garden enema to flush out all the crap that is backed up in there. I think I'm going to be sick!!!
10/17/2007 1:21PM
The Knicks are on the rise
Turn the talk radio off and put the newspaper down. I ask you now to do something you probably have not done in awhile. THINK FOR YOURSELVES!!the knicks ar a team onm a rise. Isiah Thomas has done an mazing job. He's done what many have thought was impossible in New York and that is; REBUILD. The knicks are are young and athletic. In less than $ yers , Isiah has transformed the knicks froman old , short team to a young, athletic team. I'm excited about the upcoming year. As far as the criticism regarding the knicks and isiah thomas. It's not rocket science to understand the motivation. Think about it folks..
10/17/2007 12:54PM
Maybe I'm dreaming...
But there appears to be a means of the Knicks competing for Kobe: Kobe to Knicks (5 and 1) plus a number 1(trade restricted-'08) and a 2nd rounder ('09) (Trade confirmed via the ESPN 'Trade Kicker') Jamal Crawford Salary: $7,920,000 Years Remaining: 4 Renaldo Balkman Salary: $1,280,640 Years Remaining: 1 Quentin Richardson Salary: $8,105,500 Years Remaining: 3 Nate Robinson Salary: $1,268,160 Years Remaining: 1 Fred Jones Salary: $3,300,000 Years Remaining: 1 Incoming Players Kobe Bryant Salary: $19,490,625 Years Remaining: 3 Reasons why this could work... Lakers best deals are within conference, but dealing him to Dallas is insanity, even for Dirk....Shipping him to NY (outside of West) is a benefit to the NBA (biggest market), doesn't help the Bulls and provides the laker with several young 'ready-now' players, 3 of which have salaries that are up at the end of the year, freeing up cap room....Richardson thrived in the west and will be energized by a return, Crawford is a rising star that should work well with Odom and the young centers.... Knicks lose athleticism and youth, gaining a true 'star' while keeping their point guard, center and power forward.....If Houston has any 'skills' left, he could provide outside shooting to keep teams honest. In order to 'sweeten' the deal further for the Lakers, throw in another player, accepting one other player (Jerome James' contract for someone Derek Fishers?...I believe his daughter is obtaining medical treatment in NY... Knicks new lineup: Point Guard: Stephon Marbury Shooting Guard: Kobe Bryant Center: Eddy Curry Small Forward: Jared Jeffries Power Forward: Zach Randolph Bench: David Lee, Allan Houston, Demetrius Nichols, Mardy Collins, Randolph Morris, Malik Rose, Derek Fisher? That's a championship-level lineup!... OK....Insane or not?
10/16/2007 4:57AM
Is there no shame in basketball?
Can someone please standup and explain to the basketball world how this franchise ever fell so low? I mean does anyone care anymore? Can we have someone who has some semblence of character come forward and say enough is enough! Somebody please buy this franchise and bring some class back. For the good of the game and the rich history that this organization has, someone do something! Oh where is Dave Cheketts now. Where are the good days when the Garden was rocking! We long for those good times. Now we have nothing but misery and laughter at the disgrace that this organization has become. Fools are we to even attend their games.
10/11/2007 12:14PM
Another Bad Acquisition
The Knicks have just proven they are an absolute farce. The Celtics got Ray Allen and Glen Davis for a draft pick, a role player in Delonte West, and a over the hill Wally Scerbiak. The Bobcats got Jason Richardson and a draft pick for a soft small forward in Brandon Wright. Two Eastern Conference rivals made definite upgrades from at the Shooting Guard position, and how do the Knicks respond? They brush the dust off Allen Houston whose comeback miraculously coincides with the birth of his fourth child. Isaiah Thomas is an idiot and an Autistic 12 year old could run this team better than Dolan and Thomas.

i think dolan needs to have his head examined, how in the world can isiah STILL have a job??? seems mr dolan has no class, no idea how to run a company, im just wondering if theres a few skeletons in dolans closet that isiah knows about

The Sad Part of This Whole Mess
This women isn't even attractive!! It's pretty bad when Isiah makes Marbury look like the smart one. Is MSG hiring?? I would "show some luv" for a couple of million bucks!!
10/02/2007 5:48PM
Knicks are done
bad team, bad owners, bad coach: all who don't care about the fans. I just may switch over to the Nets since they are coming to Brooklyn in 2 years.
10/02/2007 4:07PM
Where is David Stern????
Stern and Selig, two overpaid clowns that pick and choose which issues to address. All sports fans, that's me too, are total idiots for making all of these guys Millions of Dollars!!
10/02/2007 12:18PM
Isiah Still in his own world!!
Where Sexual harassment and racial remarks are OK for Him. I spent roughly $2,400 at the Garden in 2006/07. They will never get another penny out of my pocket. C-YA KNICKS, have a nice life!!
10/01/2007 1:03AM
Wake up Mr. Wilpon
Both Minaya and Willie must go, Willie doesn't have any idea what the heck he is doing and has no control over the team. No discipline period in any of the important aspects of the game. The clubhouse acts like they are a frat house. Minaya must go because you don't get rid of solid pitching such as bradford, bannister,lidstrom,oliver and owens. He has no clue what he is doing either and all he cares about is making the whole damn team latin. 2 clowns. Wake up Wilpon
09/30/2007 7:57PM
It's the Pen, Stupid
The last game is an anomaly: Glavine did well for the Mets this season. How much worse is his record b/c of the routinely blown saves by this horrible pen. Can't really fault Willie except to say that when they were talking about that "abundance of starting pitching", maybe they should have made the move and strengthened their bullpen immediately. (Of course "strengthen" assumes there is something there...maybe they could have putten a bullpen in place.) Can any Mets fan say they were comfortable with any lead once the starter left. Embarassing...
09/25/2007 10:38AM
Isaih Thomas
the only job this this guy should have is cleaning up the place after games. This man went to college and he still has IQ of a high school freshmen at best. And Marbury, forget this guy, he couldn't even complete the application it would take to hire him on a cleaning crew. I guess this is why the NBA fan base has been shrinking year after year.

in the immortal words of kramer... its to much jerry its to much!!!

Your right . The only thing Willie needs is a cane to go with the sunglasses and maybe the Mets should buy some gloves and bats without holes in them

Knicks
They won't make the playoffs anyway, the celtics and nets are both better.
08/07/2007 8:13PM
steph needs to put his starbury sneaker in his mout
marbury needs to keep quiet, maybe he can focus more on how to play defense then worry about kg and the celtics
08/04/2007 3:10AM
Knicks shoud worry about themselves
Knicks will be ok as long as they play team ball. Steph has no excuses now. Playoffs or get traded
08/03/2007 8:19PM
steph needs to be quiet
pilsbury selfishboy should shut up and worry about fearing how bad his own team is and when kg dunks over him since he doesnt know how to play defense
07/23/2007 11:30PM
See ya
would anyone miss him? italian teams can also miss the playoffs with Marbury...btw, how bad of an interviewer is this guy, what a joke that MSG lets this fool have a microphone when he can barely speak english
07/18/2007 5:10PM
Good Go!
The problem with Knicks is they have 2 selfish guards. Marbury should be moved.
