Its just the same article on the UK hopepage... but here it is

Anniversary Anything But Happy
As Thomas walked off the court, he was probably wondering how he survived a tumultuous week that included an ugly brawl, calls for his head and a written reprimand from his boss, Garden chairman James Dolan. Still others marvel at how Thomas has avoided land mines -- some of which he planted himself -- and managed to make it to his third anniversary as team president. "These are tough times for the New York Knicks," Thomas said when he was hired three years ago today. "We want to change the situation. We want to turn things around and we don't have a lot of time to do it. Mr. Dolan wants to make the playoffs. I want to win the championship. In my mind, everything else is failure." If you use Thomas' scoring system, his tenure here has been a flop. No championship. Zero playoff wins. -- New York Daily News




Minutes Will Slow Undermanned Knicks
Eight men. Two miracle overtime wins. Countless sore muscles. Meet the post-brawl Knicks. They are a battered, sore crew right now, and may pay the price this weekend for Saturday's black-eye brawl. Isiah Thomas -- who celebrates the three-year anniversary of his hiring by the Knicks today -- is extremely worried his eight healthy players will be unable to withstand the pounding and minutes. Hold the violins, though, because Thomas' unseemly behavior Saturday helped cause this potential weekend mess. -- New York Post




Knicks Loveable Underdogs
New York loves an underdog, and with only nine players available for the Bobcats as a result of suspensions from Saturday's brawl and injuries (only eight played for the second straight game), the Knicks seem far more comfortable in that role than in anything else. "I think we're really determined to win these games," said Channing Frye, who had a career-high 30 points against the Bobcats. "There's been a lot of things said about us and we're definitely feeling like the underdog." -- Newsday

IT is a coaching genius. Problem - too many repetitive players on the team and not enough focus. Solution - get a quarter of the team suspended forcing players to focus because they know there is no margin for error or replacement players and automatically shorten the rotation. Result - 2 wins.
