Wake me when MSG puts a real product out there. The Knicks are an embarassment to league.

Just like the last two years, putting out an embarassment for a product has gotten me from die-hard viewer to occasional watcher if there's nothing else on. The last time I was truly excited about this team and our future, Isiah traded for Tim Thomas. Enough said.
Wishing everyone well. I enjoyed posting here for a while, but as I matured I realized this forum isn't for me. We all evolve. Thanks for the memories everyone.

It's a dark day for the Garden, James Dolan, Steve Mills and Isiah Thomas have turned this franchise into an absolute laughing-stock. This is just pathetic, I never thought it could ever come to this. Never once...

Who says you have to have a new team just because your team of choice is pathetic? Don't come around here endorsing team switches. Real fans don't switch teams. It's surprising that you of all people would suggest that.

Sorry for answering for other guy.
Knicks is my team but the team which is now playing in the Garden is not Knicks.

The Knicks we all like can be back any day - the day when IT will go, the Dolan and company will admit that this team need to start from "0" and healing process will begin. We ned to bring credible people assotiated with organization glory days and start building around hard work, commitment, and fundamentals.

AND ITS COMING SOON

This should be the last thing needed for things to really be shaken up.

This whole team is going nowhere. We have many vets that don't know and care nothing for playing team basketball. We have young players that could be good or great with the right advices and teachings, but this is no surrounding for such thing. We have a coach/GM that thinks he can do nothing wrong and fails to see the mess he has created.

And the owner has to stop repeating the mistakes we have done for centuries and start from zero.

We can keep Curry, Frye, Lee, Balkman, Jeffries and even Nate, who has really learned nothing good from Isiah. If you need veteran leadership, keep Q.

Everyone else can go for all I care, and that including the coach.

This was more than a sick fan tired of his pathetic team could take. This has to end and in big messures. This team needs clair air.

I'd rather have them lose while getting better, while learning real team basketball, good defense and sportsmanship. Bringing again the pride.

This is enough...

No. Get rid of IT and crew. After 500mm$ spent--we have some product here--need someone who can take us out of this hole and mesh a few of the good parts with some new and different pieces with a new head voice. It can go back to his crackerjack gig.

I like the idea of Donnie Nelson, I think he's a great young basketball mind and he *might* be available with the turmoil thats going on between Cuban and Don Nelson(father)

Give R.C. Buford a blank check and complete autonomy.

Let Herb caretake the head coaching position for now.

You guys might be right. It might be time for IT to go. I was of the opinion that he should finish the season and then Dolan could evaluate him based on a full year of working with his players. I thought he deserved that much. But the reason we got rid of LB is because this team did not need the negativity and circus that LB would have brought. IT has turned himself into just as much of a distraction and circus. I would not mind seeing Walt coach the team and Kiki would be a decent choice as GM.

Donnie Nelson wouldn't come because of how they treated his dad.

Stan Wouldn't come because of his brother's (jeff) bad relationship with Dolan.

Mark Jackson is a (YES) man and loves working with Marv Albert. They'll be moving to Brookyln soon.

Pat Ewing would get frustrated too easily because he played the game at such a high level ala (magic johnson).

Kiki and Greg, I say yea bring them on.

JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.
