Dolan is not dumb, I know that the room for success as a black man is much smaller than that of a white man in this world, but in all actuality, Isiah had to first fix what was left from the old regime before putting his own stamp on this team. As many white GMs that there is in this league and 95% of them have failed in their first 3 years, but why must it be different for the few blacks?????? In one year, Isiah has done a lot more than those who have been around for 4 years...Give the man a chance to do what he knows how to do best. He has a couple of draft picks and expiring contracts, he will find a way to improve this team. One thing is for sure, if you don't produce or show the desire to do your best, he will get you out of town in a heart beat. Dolan needs to STFup and let the man do his job.

I think Herb is just coaching for his job right now.
He is told to try to win as many games as possible, probably by IT, so he doesn to look that bad, I mean, what is IT supposed to tell Dolan, after spending all this money and coming up with a team worse then any Layden has put together at least if you go by the wins, which is prolly the only thin Dolan understands about basketball.
It's basically every man for himself, the vets are selfishly padding stas, the coach just wants to win some games, and IT just wants something good to report to his boss.
Everybody is covering their behind, and nothing is getting done, the organzization is in shambles. But it has been these way for a while now, so whatever.
Don't confuse activity with progress. Isiah has done alot, but what is questioned is has he furthered any progress?
Also bold moves were designed to improve THIS SEASON! Many of us expected a .500 season. Chad Ford wrote a damming article early in the season we all dismissed as "hating". The dude was right on.
Very few are calling for isiahs head, but many question what in the heck is he doing!
IM estimating we will have 31 wins this year. That is the kind of record one would expect if you blow it up. He did not, he added! And now he must face the rath of question.
