...Isiah Thomas let Don Chaney come to work, and moments before he was to leave his office after preparing the game plan with the assistant coaches Garden Security showed up at the door, said leave everything and come with us, and they escorted him and his wife out onto 7th avenue on an 8 degree light-snowy evening.

It made everyone feel like we had the right man for the job, who was intent on cleaning out Layden's trash and making a huge statement about it, one that brought the confidence we were on our way up.

Little did we know............

Makes me want to vomit right on Isiah. Maybe I'll run into Isiah, invite him for a couple of drinks. I'll have maybe 6 or 7 beers, but then immediately chase them with a shot of 151, while facing Isiah. I think I'll make that happen.

Isiah will be passed out on the kitchen floor before you got your chance.

Coincidentally, that's also one of my favorite memories of Isiah.

LOL!

I'd also have to say the other moment that sticks out is when.... we all hated Shandon Contracterson... and wanted him gone. We had that game in his hometown and Isiah purposely sat him out - even though it was known Shandon had a consecutive game streak going, had bought tickets for family to watch him play - and Isiah like the snake he is with about 3 minutes to go in the game went and asked Shandon if he wanted to play. Shandon probably told him to go suck a fat one.

Then not too much after that moment Isiah tried to fight Shandon in the tunnel at MSG. Shandon just kinda walked away from him. Dammit Contracterson, you shoulda f'd him up!


Again though, as a fan wanting Layden's crap gone, I wrongly perceived these actions as those of a man confident and willing to get rid of Layden's trash and make us a competitive team again.

Well, I was wrong, so wrong... damn.


============
For the record my favorite Knick moments were, in no particular order:

Starks dunk.
Ewing blocking Pippen(?) at the perimeter to seal a win.
Ewing putting the Knicks on his back and dragging them single handedly back from an 18pt deficit to the Cheat in a game6 that had we lost we lose the series...and then dunking the Heat out of the playoffs in Game 7 in Miami after Zo went for the steal (i think that was the same series?)
Allans running layup in Game 5.
LJs 4pt play.
Spree's 9-9 3pt FGs.
Houston dropping 53pts (?) on Kobe.
Spree and Houston dropping 65 on the Hawks en route to us sweeping them 4-0 in the playoffs.
JVG clinging to Zo's leg.
Charlie Ward scoring 20 points in a game to cheers from the crowd saying afterwards "It felt like it was my team."
Chris Childs punking Kobe.

...theres more, but the ole' brain cells aren't up to the task.

Some other just regular moments in Knicks history:

Knicks opening games with alley-oops to Allan Houston.
Charles Oakley always taking the first shot of games.
Starks always finding a way to turn a broken play, with the ball rolling on the ground and bodies all over the place, into a 3 pointer.
