How can ANYONE who is a TRUE Knicks fan

I think Larry was told some things that didnt happen, or didnt happen fast enough when he was hired. When they didnt happen he started his antics which merited him being fired.

The presentation made by Dolan and Thomas was startling in its content and breadth. The Garden environment under Dolan is tightly controlled and intensely secretive. It is extremely rare for officials to divulge private discussions — even off the record — and rarer still for them to go public with a detailed critique of a high-ranking employee. That they did so in this case speaks to the extent of their frustrations with Brown.

I see this as an excuse for LB. What was he told that didn't happen? I honestly believe that Dolan and Isiah knew they needed him and his credibility to turn this thing around. I think they were committed to doing whatever he wanted to make that happen. I think he became totally unrealistic with his demands, combined with his season-long craziness and francis and Jalen became the last straws.

well... whats LB's credibility? I said when he was hired that Isiah signed Larry to clean up his mess.

Just think about it. Do you think they told Larry that if he came aboard he had to be a good little soldier? They payed him more than any other coach in sports. You going to tell me they didnt promise Larry input and control over roster moves? What trades were made after training camp? They got Matt Barnes. Its so obvious they told Larry things were going to be one way and they turned out another. So obvious. Everyone sees this. I can see Jalen Rose. Rose is a scorer but he's also a passer and he showed that in his first game. The whole roster is guys that pound the ball. Jalen moves it and sets guys up. OK... I will give you that. But Steve Francis? Nobody in their right mind can believe LB wanted this guy.

People can believe what they want, but Isiah and Dolan bit off more than they could chew w/ Brown. They picked a guy to bring credibility and stability, paid him to be a good little soldier but they signed the wrong guy. You know they told Larry "what ever you need to win we will give you." And that apparently was QWoods and Matt Barnes for 3 months. Then it backfired when old grouchy started his moaning and antics.

This is just another situation that Isiah and Dolan screwed up. This is why Chaney and Wilkins who did conduct themselves like proffesionals trashed the organization. This is why players with good reputations for hard work and conduct like McDyess, Mutumbo, Kurt, Nazr, Antonio Davis and Shandon Anderson all trashed Isiah after leaving. The list is long and distinguished.
