When he proved why he might be our best perimeter defender....whenhe was in the game, there were no jumpshots form kapono....and isiah takes him out after 5 mins...WTF

It's obviously because Isiah is senile and the game has passed him by.

And he's sabotaging the team.

I'm with you, NYKniCksFan87. I cannot figure out for the life of me, what he has done to deserve his basically "doghouse" status. The man has done nothing but bring great energy and enthusiasm to the line up when he's in there and I can't figure out why he is sitting so much. Especially in a game like tonight, where the team came out completely flat, Balkman's energy was exactly what we needed. Instead the undersized Malik Rose gets his minutes. Balkman did come in and contribute immediately, but I guess it wasn't good enough for Isiah. I so thought once everyone was back healthy, that Rose's feet would hardly touch the floor. But no, Balkman sits instead. At least Jeffries finally rode a lot of pine. Ridiculous...

And he as a coach has behind the back talks with himself as GM to trade Lee for Ricky Devis because Lee is playinng so great the he reminds him his "buddy" Bird and brings some painfull memories.

i want isiah gone no matter what the record is...the man has sabotaged and ruined my favorite franchise, the only guys that i enjoy watching are lee,curry and balkman, along with steph when he is playing to his potential and robinson when he plays under control (like he did today in the 2nd half)

everyone else i want off...this team is pissing me off because isiah plays players by money status to show his free agent signings were worth it....im sick and tired of watching a mediocre product for the past 7 years....just watchign knicks games now, im never confident before a game like i used to be back in the 90's....now its like o ****...here comes an L

OK, but... you realize Isiah's directly responsible for bringing those guys here too, right?

i actually don't think Nate played under control. I just think he hit his shots so it was less noticeable
I just hope that people will like me

Its really cause for firing, Jefferies was getting pissed on as usual, Balkman came in and was pretty good on defense and that was it. Isiah is just awful

What does Isiah have in common with the other guy?

Both guys you have to save from themselves.

You can't give Isiah too many options otherwise he just tries to use them all. This is also a CLASSIC case of why some guys can't just be a GM and a coach. Isiah the GM can't separate from Isiah the coach. He is coaching like he has to justify signing Jefferies. He is coaching ike he has to at the very least start Frye because he was an 8 overall pick.

If Isiah the coach can stop caring about Isiah the GM's job, we would be in a much better position.
