Here is another view. Dolan sat right up on the court and faced Spree. He did not hide.

Dolans timing of hiring spree is very interesting.

But Lets look at one fact. Dolan shocked the fans and Fired Laydog, and bought in a happening kind of GM. Thomas may not be my first choice, but its not the worst hire.

Dolan made a move to right the ship. Its a step in the right direction, and a big step for him.

A prop to Dolan for doing the right thing. now lets see if he gives Zeke his balls to impliment.

This is another thing I was pissed off about. There is way too many people indirectly sticking up for Dolan and that is just ridiculous. Not you here Nolad, but almost everyone, including me indirectly backed Dolan about the whole minnesota game mess.

I hate Dolan and I should hate spree more for doing something so ridiculous that I have no other choice than to feel bad for Dolan. Another thing, I am sick of talking about spree or anything to do with the spree incident so this is my last post that concerns that. I request everyone else try and do the same.

Moving on topicwise is a good idea. If the haters just stopped provoking the board into those discussions we can discuss Isaiah's rebuilding this team.

I don't hate Dolan or Spree. I don't respect Dolan as a sports exec due to his persistence in infusing the corporate cookiecutter to team roster management. Spree didn't respect that either, and Dolan used those same corporate tactics to get him traded. Like I said long ago, he's the only one who can get himself off the hook in this regime. If the Knicks turn things around and win a title in 2 years, then Dolan will always be known as the owner who helped the Knicks win their first title in 32 years. If Dolan looks at it like that, and sees the potential profit boost in actually winning a title, There is still a possibility of it happening.

As for Spree, there's no love lost IMO. I still respect his fire and intensity. Maybe next time we play the T-Wolves, we can have a product on the floor that can both win the game and take their respect.
Another season, and more adversity to persevere through. We will get the job done, even BETTER than last year. GO KNICKS!

YOU DON'T HATE "DOLAN" OR SPREE????????? Man you crack me up with your side stroke routine. Everybody has read your thread you can't stand Dolan stop tripping. G
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.

I can't stand Dolan's decisionmaking till this last move, I DON'T "HATE" him though. Hate is a strong word. I dislike him. As for the sidestroke , the only one KNOWN to backpedal on damn near all their stances is YOU, Playa. Now that you had all that reaction, you can go somewhere and sit down now. LOL

Dolan isn't an a**hole on purpose. Atleast he isn't the Clippers owner that lets talent slip thru enthused by his greed! Dolan is a retard not a dickhead. He doesn't know basketball and makes all his decisions on a different medium.

In most businesses, security would have carried out an x-employee for crossing the line like bobby said in the other thread but in the NBA, security doesn't come on the court. The players wearing the uniform are the security and Dolan hired griesbacks and cowards to work that. I think it was Berman that said, Dolan made them millionaries but none of them came to his rescue. It was Lon Kruger the lowest paid person there that night that stuck up for Dolan.

I really think Dolan will let Isiah work free without any restraints to fix the roster and the attitude. I want to see cut-throats roam the MSG court. I want to see hardcore players that I can root for not soft, timid, overpaid and underskilled losers! 10-19 and soon to be 10-20 record speaks for itself.

calling him a jerk and such things becuase he cursed out an owner we do not like anyway is ridiculous. especially when we loved it ten years ago. now that we are the recipients of such behavior it is wrong. i am more upset with our players not giving it back. they do not have to actually attack him but someone should have stepped up and went off scoring wise. instead what did houston and van horn do in the final quarter?
Posting this here because the other thread is impossible to maneuver out of. I loved it 10 years ago and still love it when it comes from a knick! Of course that is inconsistent and i'm not shocked because he cursed Dolan and Kruger out, i'm shocked that Houston, KVH and crazy eyes Kurt did nothing. Wimps! I am always going to root for something my team does. But as soon as the other team does it, its retarded because I hate that team.

Enemy bombs us without warning, its terrorism, we bomb the enemy without warning, its to stop terrorism. I'm not comparing war and basketball but just using the mentality as an example. Do you expect me to like it or applaud it when some other team athlete embarrases my team? Or do you want me to not applaud when H2O head butts Eddie Jones? (That was a hypothetical. Houston will never dare head butt anyone but it would be a little embarrasing if he did) The rant was about the knick players bitching out not someone else bitching us out.
