most say that LB tanked games for the Knicks. 23 wins this past year and if he didn't tank them it would have been around 35? 10 game swing reasonable? Progress *should* be benchmarked around the 35, right? Or something close? So, can we say that Isiah needs to read the 45+ mark to show that he improved the team?

that's my thinking, But 45 is pretty much fantasy land considering how much this roster had been bashed and we only added two draft picks (one of them briggs hated, which means fish, et al fall in line in the bashing) to the mix of crappy talent (quotes from some of the posters, the papers and LB).

But sht, he get's 45 wins, then you guys really have to say that LB SUCKED!!!

I mean, 45 wins!?!?

That would have been second in the atlantic this past year and 5th overall in the east?

the bulls went for a 500 record and everyone is saying they are the second coming of the ... well, bulls.

Are you trying to tell me that LB did tank the season? Or, you just hypthetically saying that IF he did tank the season and SHOULD have won 35 then isiah SHOULD be able to "magically" erase last year from the entire teams memory and DOUBLE the win total of the great Hall Of Fame Coach with the awesome resume?

if that is true, and that happens, LB should be put out of his misery (I mean with a shotgun out back) AND needs to fork over the money he was paid.

But, you could be speaking hypothetically.

How may wins do you honestly think are enough to show significant improvement? and be careful, I'm going to use your answer to both asses LB's performance last year and your belief in isiah's moves that led to the current roster.


ps...sorry fishy for calling you out today in so many posts, but hey, I owed you for a few JJ comments while I was in lala land. it's all in good fun...well, sort of.

btw, he wins 45 games he get's both GM and Coach of the year in an unprecendented announcement and at the same time LB hands the trophy's to him personally.

as usual, no idea what you are talking about...don't you have a marbury bash thread to start or something?

did we just play the Blazers Sixers and Wolves

Posted by rvhoss:

I think isiah and the knicks will win their 24th game BEFORE the all star break.

Would that be significant progress?

no, it would mean you're sleep walking.

41 wins. 18 game improvement. and that's not even kool aid filled, I read and reread your post and didn't see your prediction?

You gonna take a stand?

phew, one down, one to go. thanks for having nothing to say...AGAIN.

If Isiah wins over 40 he should be annointed coach of the century. That would mean that not only is the team playing better but he must have done incredible work turning around attitudes.

I personally have had enough of predicitions. I want results. I wish our owner would give the man some time and space to coach the team without yealry ultimatums. All this does is place us at risk of Isiah making a move to save his job. I pray we get off to a good start so that this is not a future issue.
