Pharzeone, you know everyone is going to ignore that quote (they ignored it when he said it back in March), and we as knick fans know Riley to be one of the best.

Coach Riley says the talent is there but the coaching....
March 20, 2006 -- Heat coach Pat Riley said Knick fans must relax and be patient.
"I love their young players," Riley said before the Heat's 111-100 victory over the Knicks last night at the Garden.
"They have a lot of good young players so they just keep working it so that is what they have to do. You are never going to make anyone happy in New York unless you win. They are not going to have any kind of patience with rebuilding unless you show results, so they are having a difficult time," he said.
Riley is speaking to a small minority of the board that post the most and are the most venomous in their postings. The patient fans are trying to keep the calm by spreading the blame. But when you have over 5,000 posts, you have a right to be, how should I say this, an angry poster.
The former Knick coach put the onus on Larry Brown last month when the Heat were in town on the day of the Steve Francis trade, saying "the cupboard is full" regarding the Knicks' talent.
He only left New York because he didn't have control of the talent being brought in, that's why Parcell's left New England.
LB had a tough go of it this year, and he, Marbury and others need to do some serious soul searching this summer.
We are not this bad. We ARE rebuilding. We will win 45 games next year and get to the second round oft he playoffs!!!
see sig.
