Van Gundy shook his head in disgust midway through the second quarter as the "Fire Chaney" chant broke out again. Van Gundy never endured that kind of treatment from the New York fans when he was the Knicks coach — even after he quit with two seasons remaining on his contract.
When he first returned to the Garden on the night the Knicks retired Patrick Ewing's number, Van Gundy got the second-loudest ovation.
"The chant was totally unfair," he said. "We know all about the good part of coaching. In New York, that (the chant) is the bad part. That game had nothing to do with coaching."
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.

At least Zeke knows a thing or two about chemistry. We lose 4 games and fans forget about the previous 4 games won before Steph tries the point.
