My observations:
1.) I'm glad it's over
me too
2.) Obviously hiring Isiah was not part of a long-term plan so as of this moment we are again starting from scratch. Hopefully we can make moves to move forward.
right there with ya
3.) GM and coach? When has this been successful? I will be rooting for Zeke to do well but it frustrates me to know end that once again we are placing a coach in position to fail.
Riley and Miami Heat
4.) If the team does poorly Isiah will be fired. We all know this. The players know this too. They once again have a built in excuse. Great!!
ofcourse, but maybe they all know that if they don't perform then they are goners as well...Glass is half Full bip, half FULL. try saying things like...If they succeed then...it great being positive when you have young kids in the house. 
5.) This upsets me for one reason. Once again it shows that the Knicks have no long-term plan or are once again adjusting one.
long term plan = young and athletic, before LB it was coming to fruition, with LB we had to trade for a Jrose or Franchise or eric snow or or or...but now we can continue rebuilding with our youth.
6.) Dragging this out had nothing to do with the team and everything to do with Dolan's wallet.
Dragging this out had to do with not paying LB $50 million for 23 wins. It's the off season, the only people that really pay attention to it are bulletin board posters...I have knick fans in the office here that didn't even know he was going to get fired and they are season ticket holders. So stop acting like dragging this out affected anybody but UltimateKnicks and Larry Brown.
7.) If Isiah is fired who the hell will ever coach here? I can understand wanting Larry out but what NY fan in their right mind would think the way this is handled is a good thing.
Isiah won't be fired, he's going to stabalize the ship and win atleast 10 more games than last year, 33 wins is horrible, but not enough to fire the coach when he improved over the previous year AND didn't add any more clowns to the roster, but I think we will win more than 33 , we won 33 the year before...remember glass half full, think of little bip, he can't grow up hating the knicks because his father hates Dolan.
8.) Stephon is the only player on this roster without a built in excuse.
True, we suck and he's gone by the trading deadline, no if's and's or but's, but like I said, we win 10 more games and he's back to being important again, we go .500 he gets a billboard and if we make the playoffs, he's back to New York's favorite son (remember when he was that only 2 years ago)
9.) Just once I'd like to see us hire a proven winner at GM or coach or both and stick to a long-term plan instead of making trades based on the current record.
Keep dreaming and be happy we have what we have...just once I'd like to win the championship. Beggers can't be choosers. Just once I'd like to see some rah rah go knicks out of you.
10.) Can we do anything as an organization with dignity? My guess is no.
if this were the middle of america, say denver, nobody would have even have noticed, but because it's new york, it seemed like there was no dignity, but LB was half culpable in how this went down, he could have stepped up publicly and stated that he was sorry for the way he acted and was looking forward to next year, instead it was a public pissing match and the owner always wins (see detroit)
Quit your bitching, it's just another coach...we havne't won a title in 23 years...what's another year...one thing, last year under LB was not only unbearable to the players, but to the fans as well...now we get to see Crawford and Curry and Frye and Lee in all their glory, running the floor and defending with Starbury...I mean, how can you not like that line up...Lee is going to get better at defense, he's our Jeff Foster.
Either you are with us or against us, but don't say you are a knick fan and then after the first blowout make a topic about how you hate the knicks.
This chapter is closed, get over it.
I love ya bip, and you say you are a coach, coaches get fired for not getting results, even that drunk in hoosiers was able to get some wins...the bad news bears collection of misfits also were able to win.
Coaching is all about the players believing in their coach (see Heat) and these players all know their careers basically rest in succeeding and the only person in the entire world that actually believes in this collection of lovable losers!
I do as well.
all kool aid all the time.
