Keep Isiah. He's a good coach.

Secure a shooter (i.e. Morris Almond, Marco Bellini). Trade Frye, Nate to Miami for a mid 1st rounder & Wayne Simeon....or a similar trade to give us a pick to go get Acie Law IV. Next year's team is:

C - Curry, Morris
PF - Lee, Simeon, Jefferies, Rose
SF - Balkman, Q, Jefferies
SG - Crawford, Bellini or Almond
PG - Marbury, Law

Keep Isiah as a coach and fire as GM...

I still care, but I'm not staying awake till 4 or 5 a.m. anymore this season to watch the games. Too much painful for me. But it is still disgusting to wake up and see these late results in the box scores.

I care enough to watch if there's nothing else to do and I don't feel like getting work done or watching MSNBC. I knew the season was over when Lee got injured and basically started watching much less.

My passion for the Games NEVER dwindles. I will watch even if it's just to see how our younger players do. This is nothing like how I felt when layden was still here and I didn't like what he had done to the team. At least in this case there are a lot of young guys that I can see developing and there's some hope that we can grow into a good team. i had no such hope back then.

For the most part the youngsters looked pretty decent last night. As Isiah pointed out they made a lot of small mistakes that cost us big. The rotations on the perimeter defense is still a big problem. It's amazing how often the defense breaks down and they leave a 3pt shooter WIDE OPEN. I'm praying that we'll solve that someday soon.

If Isiah could make a small trade for a 2nd rd pick, would you take a guy like DJ Strawberry, who's known as a good defender?

I definitely do not care. Even assumiong the Knicks make the playoffs, they're going to get SLAUGHTERED by Detroit and their amazing starting five + McCrackedKnees or Clevelan and Lebron. Everyone like to believe this team has a chance versus Cleveland, but that's dumb.

Does anyone think there is a player on the Knicks that could actually slow down--not even stop, just slow down--LeBron?

Not to mention there is no incentive to root for this train wreck of a team to lose whatsoever. There is no decent draft pick this year and no friggin Tyrus Thomas (EDDY CURRY IS A BUM AND THAT TRADE WAS TERRIBLE... IWISH SOME OFF YOU WOULD PULL YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES). Say what you want about Thomas, but I'd be ecstatic about the Knicks if next season the Knicks had a team of:

PG Marcus Williams (should have been picked)
SG Corey Brewer
SF Lee/Balkman (would have been there at 29)
PF Lee/Tyrus Thomas
C Frye

With either Lee/Balkman/Thomas serving as the sixth man. How could you not love that team? How could you not be excited about the Knicks. Instead, I get to watch this AIDS infested ****ing steaming pile of horse**** squad fight for teh scraps in the deepest NBA draft in a very long time... possibly ever.

HOW THE FUCK CAN ANYONE BE EXCITED ABOUT THIS CRAP?

No room on the roster, there only be room for one draft pick unless Isiah can make trades.

You can ALWAYS MAKE ROOM on a roster, if you truly want to. I think Cato is gone and perhaps Francis. The Idea of a trade is highly possible given the makeup of the team right now. It has to be refined to make it work better with Curry being the focal point inside. I wouldn't say a trade is a lock, but i'm sure Isiah will be eager to try and make this team much more potent if he can.

You can teach concepts, like rotate to guard the corner 3, but its tough when you don't have the personel to execute it. The reason a team like San Antonio is so good is because they have premier perimeter defenders like Bowen and Ginobili and perhaps the best interior defender in Duncan. The help, if any, never has to come from the wing.

Sh-t in the popcorn to go with sh-t on the court. Its a theme show like Medieval times.

Cato probably is gone. It's sad he's on the bench because he's probably our best center.

I counted Cato being gone as the 1 roster spot that would be open. There better be a trade, or else next year is going to be similar to this year.
