JoeC - it's not personal. It's strictly business
Why is it I can have an adult debate with a poster like fish.mike, who I rarely agree with, but it never turns personal? djsu and I go at it all the time but do you ever see anything about personal attacks? Nope. Because we respect the others views.
On the other hand, there are some who are simply bent on being "right". You would rather point to Larry Brown having a better win streak than Isiah as the reason he is a better Knicks coach, and then call me ignorant for citing the improvement in season record at the same point in the schedule.
Crazy huh?
“Everything that has been happening is really just a credit to Zeke,” Rose said, referring to Coach Isiah Thomas. “That guy has really hung in there during some tough times and kept us going. And seeing his resolve has kept us all going as a team.”
Plain and simple. The young and unpredictible Knicks are playing better team basketball under Isiah Thomas
that's my story an I'm sticking to it

JoeC - don't look now but this young team is playing NOTHING like the Larry Brown Knicks. Check the record at this time last season dude....
and no, Isiah will not bench David Lee as Larry unceremoniously did during the six game streak.
this Knicks squad is starting to play like a team
deal with it
That is where it turned personal for me. Don't talk down to me and there is no problems. I had no intention of getting personal until you said this. I already posted why I contributed my litle LB tidbit to this discussion. We had a 6 game winning streak in the worst season in decades. We won 3 games in a row. Am I happy, sure. But I'm not going overboard with it either.
You called some people out that don't like this team(and even your phrasing of that could consider be getting personal-especially to people who don't like where the Knicks as currently constituted are heading).
But I digress, when you start the name calling and calling people out using derogatory terms, you should expect replies in kind.
I don't know about yourself and fish or DJ. Nor do I care, there is no reason for me to comment on it, or your "adult discussions".
And contrary to popular belief(aka your belief), I am not bent on being right. I already explained my post about LB once, and I reposted it in this post. I am not going to say it again here.
Everyone (including myself)predicted better basketball from this team with Isiah. Everyone. Not one person didn't. He was the coach they wanted, he is extremely player friendly. I believe the problem was that they would be average to above average consistently intead of contending for championships with him in a few years.
But hey, those are just the
facts, I'm sure you'll prove me wrong with your
opinions.
