Let's remeber it appears that Mark Aguirre is going to be an assistant coach who can be the hard ass that Wilkins isn't. Also Oak was in the building tonight so maybe the Knicks will bring him back as a player and bring his no layup mentality.

Wilkins is 66 years old, he was brought in based on his reputation but also to make our star player (Marbury) an even better player.

I see this move as a stepping stone for Mark Agurre who will eventually be the head coach.

Isiah has a plan and I'm curious to see what happens.

Isiah replaced Layden, who was awful. He's going to have to do a lot wrong for me to turn on him, and so far, I'm down with what he's done.

Then the people in Toronto are naive. This is Isiah's show, and he is going to get the credit or the blame. He knows it, and everyone in NY knows it too.

Exactly. Good Post.

Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

Between Herb and Aguirre (and even Mike Malone), Lenny should be flanked by assistants who won't hesitate to open their mouths.

Yeah... Oak would be a nice pickup right about now...

All of you haters just proved you don't know nothing about bball. Lenny Wilkins is not a great coach, however, he is a good coach. Eons better then Chaney. Canadian you are an idiot, go root for the Raptors if you like their new coach so much and stop hatin on the Knicks. Playa would you pease make all your multiple pesonalities shut the f*uck up! Can there ever be a positive reaction to something? I bet if we trade for Shaq it would be the worst trade ever cause he has injury problem and we gould give our future if a 1st round pick was included. Give me a f*ing break! Root for the damn team for once, give them a f*ing chance! And stop bringing media articles as some kind of backing, 99% of reportes are idiots or have their own agendas, get your own f*ing mind! Actually watch the games for a change, then say something. I can't belave how stupid some people around here are.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

wow good point about Oakley. He's not the low post scoring presence we need but he'll sure help our defense.

Yeah, well why not listen to what Dikembe Mutombo, Who knows Lenny Wilkens pretty well, has to say about Lenny? Nothing but good things...

Fellas (just the NON-haters), Don't let anyone trying to hate on this move rain on our parade. Those are the ones who will try to shuffle and shake and try to sneak on teh back of the bandwagon when things start flowing well around here.

Just remember these threads, and when they switch up, just smash their old posts in their faces. Force-feed their own words to them like the Crow that it is.

wilkens will be judged just like any other coach, with his record. So far his record is pretty good. He's had one horrible year in 29 as a head coach! Chaney has had about 5 in 7 years! Big Difference!

As for Wilkens style, I am a little concerned with the laid back style. I have said that chaney was too laid back for this bunch. BUT, I think with a real PG aboard now, NY CAN PLAY A MORE UPTEMPO Style. They can scrore 95-100 a night, consistently and Wilkens will HELP the OFFENSE!

As for defense, Wilkens will understand matchups better and know when to play the zone and when not to.

Getting the Knicks to defend and hustle every night is his charge and his weakest points too. That being said, he knows how to handle the Vets.

Ny will finish 40-42 this season.

Herb? Defense? I love Herb but no one ever mistook his post defensive presence for Bill Russell. Good man-good offense-great leader-but not noted for his defense

simrud (and others), calling poeple names....telling others to shut up and cursing in posts are not what this forum is about. Please try not to get too carried away when posting. Thanks.

Lenny will be lucky to go 5-5 the next ten games. Has he seen watching the knicks play lately? NO.... that is why zeke will use him like a puppet to coach from the GM position like I said.
