We need a 5 game win streak real soon

You are right, but where was the admonition of Layden? You kill isiah but Layden was cool?? You sound just like playa man. what is it with Western NY and Toronto? Does all that snow make your brain freeze?

yes exactly

Hardcore, did I ever tell you that are my favorite poster here?

The worse thing that can happened to this knicks team to finally blending together but being a little too late making the playoffs.

All of a sudden Phoenix endes up with the #1 pick in the draft in this yr's draft. Remember, it's not lottery protected.. Us Knick fans would die... Thats is a possibility

Win streak? Right now we got a LOSING streak! Chaney gotta get the hell outta Dodge ASAP!

We had a four game streak with Frank at the point guard so stop the maddness. Chaney was coaching that same team with the same players and we played like a well oiled machine.

If we gotta trade Frank in a package that would get us a low-post scorer, then so be it.

We're 2 games out of the 8th playoff spot, 3 games out of the 7th, 5 games out of 6th and 5th. Don't panic. It's a long season. Not even halfway done. We'll make the playoffs.

We'll pass Boston. Maybe Toronto, Philly, Milwaukee. Too much talent to miss. Agree we could make it tough for ourselves if we dig too much deeper into the hole, but we got a 5-game homestand coming. Even if we only go 3-2, we won't lose ground against most of those teams.

The way the East is this year, not that much difference between seeds 5-8. Guess I'd rather get Detroit or NO in 1st round than Nets or Indiana, but not by a lot. Remember, wasn't too long ago that we went to the finals as an 8 seed!

It was discouraging to lose last night, no doubt. And if Yao and Gumby beat us, that would be upsetting to, but we need to have at least a little patience.

Sorry man, thursday's game against (beetle juice) and the Rockets is a must game.

If we lose that game, how soon should Chaney be fired?

I had to ask since I know how much you luv JVG.

Chaney should be fired even if we dont lose that game! He is a terrible coach! He kept all our starters on the bench till 4 mins left in the fourt!

the Knicks are about 2 games out of the playoff picture. That's all that matter now, just making the playoffs.

Seriously, firing Chaney mid season is no way to go. Who would the replacement be? Thomas? Absurd. Would he have enough time to coach and make the next trade (if there is going to be one)? If it is not Thomas, than who? No good coach in his or her right mind would start mid-season.

Now, the end of the season makes more sense. The new coach would have a sense of who the team is and also have an entire training camp. Doc Rivers is not going to jump from TV to the Knicks bench right now. Neither is, say, Riles (maybe a bad example). And if Thomas wants to coach himself, after he is done sculpting the roster, he can take over at seasons end.
