Fans have been called haters for demanding changes. For demanding that someone put their foot down. So many names were thrown around that we almost had a war here. Now the team comes out and puts up the most embarrassing effort of our lives and those same fans that were slinging names are now saying that Isiah needs to put his foot down. I find that annoying.

It's comical. It's like that dim lightbulb finally went off and now those people want to act like nobody could have seen it coming until now.

Anyone know where RemBee is hiding? I'd like to hear what his thoughts are about where this team is now.

Subtle Change

"I trusted my instincts tonight, went with a couple of guys and they delivered," Thomas said. "Just a gut feeling I had. "

In his best game as a Knick, Jones went 4-for-4 for 10 points, drove hard to the hole and didn't have a turnover. Jones also played stiff defense on Michael Redd (27 points), who went 2-for-8 in the fourth quarter.

Thomas also spotted in David Lee, who has been struggling to get minutes, at the right time for the abysmal Eddy Curry (seven points) with 7:50 left. Lee had five key rebounds down the stretch. Curry's starting job could be in jeopardy.

bippity - only the shadow...I mean, The Answer Man... knows...

Phoenix Suns Sunday Shift DuJour:

Fred Jones - he earned it, besides is there a more mundane name than Fred Jones? Fred Smith, CEO of FedEx?

Jamal Crawford - World B Free light can get hot if you give him the pill. Cool that he spoke up after Celtics game.

Q - 11 rebounds from a player with a bad back? Keep Jeffries and Balkman warm in the bullpen - just in case

Zach Randolph - does this mean I'm an idiot? I been called worse. No worries.

David Lee - if playing a 6'9 center was good enough for Dave Cowens...

We need to start looking at the reasons behind our inconsistency. Why is it that over the past 3 years the same core has followed up horrible losses with big wins. And great wins with horrible losses.

I have a theory. Everytime the Knicks have a big win they want a reward for their moral victory. The fans are happy with the win but will not be trusting until you get the record to where it's supposed to be. They do not trust you because you have done this to them before. The fans refuse to give you credit for yet another moral victory.

Unfortunately for the team, our organizational attitude has been wrong. We have constantly said "don't listen to the fans. They are idiots. They don't know what they are talking about. These NY fans are crazy, you guys done good". The team says "thank you. You are correct. We did do good. We don't need these fans to give us credit. We have each other. Then they let out a collective aaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh. They relax and give us another stinker."

As Bip has said many times, and hopefully Isiah is learning(all those his post game shots at the media and fans show that he hasn't grasped the concept yet) is that this is the worst possible moment to let up on the team. To get this team to the level that most of us predicted in the pre-season we need to keep the pressure on. From the organization to the coaches to the fans the pressure must stay on. This team cannot be allowed to let up. No credit for moral victories. For the first time in 3 years it is time to get the record up to what the talent says
