So you're saying that it's the media's fault? It's the media's fault that the Knicks are even further over the salary cap than before and for a longer period of time? It's the media's fault that this team looks like it's been put together with very little thought as to how the pieces fit? It's the media's fault that Marbury still refuses to buy into the team concept which permeates through the entire team? It's the media's fault that Isiah's hand picked head coach is so lost and has seen the game pass him by? It's the media's fault that the Knicks are below .500? I guess you gotta blame somebody other than the architect of the team when you're pounding that Kool-Aid.
that's what i'm saying dude. how can we "blame" after just one season? where are fans getting this idea of "blow it up?" and that this is isiah's finished product? seriously, it's b/c it's been driven into our heads by reporters, analysts, etc. i'm just saying that if everybody was on the "get as many high paid stars as you can" bandwagon, we'd have completely different arguments. it's b/c they don't have any patience for plans that don't follow their own, just like you are already resolved to the fact that isiah has screwed this team up b/c 1. you don't like him and 2. you don't like marbury yet this team does have some nice young chips (which you won't admit to your dying day b/c of isiah) and this team CAN get significantly better next year. but all the critics, the same ones that were saying two weeks ago that marbury "gets it", whatever that is, "is now saying he's been a failure everywhere he's gone".
media can't be patient ergo, fans can't be patient unless it follows their plan. i had no problems "blowing it up" but i also acknowledge the fact it couldn't be done until 06/07 at the earliest. so i'm willing to give isiah 2-3 years before basing his "legacy" here as a failur on a now sub .500 team in january of his 1 1/2 year here.
