OK, if they make the playoffs it will be a great injustice to all the better teams in the West. What a pathetic group of lazy loosers.

Lenny is the leader of this pack.

Seriously what a f-ing joke! No intensity whatsoever, they made Amare look like Shaq and Marion look like Jordan. Hell, Jahidi White embarrased us! Hey Shandon, if your not gonna play D either, whats your purpose? Kurt, when a friggin 19 year old gets in your face, sack up and show him whats up! I feel really bad for Marbury, the last few games it feels like its only him out there. The last thing we need is for him to become disillusioned and stop trusting his teammates. Thing is, his teammates are a joke. Nazr Mohammed are you kidding me? You couldnt hold Sweetneys jock! AND WHERE IS FRANK WILLIAMS, OUR BEST OPTION AT THE 2 RIGHT NOW?!?!?! Yeah, Im mad.

By the way Lenny, when your team gives up 4 consecutive fast break layup/dunks, maybe its best to call a T.O.

Thats exactly what he meant!!

The team is in a short slump... we'll take the next 3 and move on from there... Every team has slumps.. every single one... We;ll pull together and head in strong into the playoffs... Our schedule for the rest of the season is ridiculously favorable for us... majority of our games are against the lower half of the NBA. We'll pull through this... Rome was'nt built in one day. Or one season for that matter. lol

you are right about every team having a slump. but i can not help but still be alarmed with these losses. sacremento was the only loss that was unserstandable and that was when we were at our most competitive. being blown out by utah, cleveland and phoenix is inexcusable. it is not us losing but how we lost. everyone, and i mean everyone, are playing tentative. one thing i noticed is that they are not playing loose like they did three weeks ago. it seems like everyone is on edge which i do not understand since the trading deadline came and passed. i am also worried about being in a funk. the players are not walking with confidence. getting out of such a thing is difficult and can spread throughout the team. things like turnovers, missing layups and missing free throws are contagious and could last through many games. this is when we have to evaluate lenny as a coach. he has been down this road before. now he has to figure out how to turn it around. like i said before, i thought the hard part of the schedule was behind us. but it seems like they have to fight their biggest foe: themselves.

TFK SAID: I agree Andrew: this topic is becomming ridiculous. Now people are blaming Zeke, saying he gave up too much and that Frank williams could of done the Job and blah, blah blah.....
As a NY knick fan it sickens me at times to listen to other NY fans and their irrational logic. We add a top 10 player in the league to our team and when a few things go wrong, we are looking for scapegoats. Typical NY BS!! If anyone thinks this team was fine before the trade does not know basketball at all. The knicks were a dying team and a struggling franchise, zeke made the knicks matter again... We were not going anywhere hopind lampe developed at all, and hoping for milos scared azz to come and compete for a job, and we are not better with Frank williams than we would be with Steph.. Period.. Put all of this garbage to rest..

I bet if we got shaq and lost 3 games in a row, people would be mad because shaq would be taking minutes away from Deke and doleac!! this is almost the type of logic being applied here by many. YOU FUNNY!!!!!! LOL

This is of topic but I just have to ask, Playa is it really you? lol

Anyways, a day after being pissed off beyond beleaf at the game (I watched this one with a bunch of freinds, and that turned out to possibly be the worst way to spent the night) this is what I got to say.

First of all, this team is clarly not built to win this year. It hit me somewhere in the 4th quarter that with Demarr, Sweetney and Mohammed all getting signifcant playing time our linepu can actually look like this:
C Mohammed
PF Sweetney
SF Thomas
SG Johnson
PG Marbury
The oldest guy here is 27 if I'm not mistaken. If this is not rebuilding then what is? On that list there are 4 lottery picks and one 1st rounder. Johnson and Sweetney both had very good games. Thomas had a great game before and was going well before gettin a minor injury. Marbury is Marbury. Mohammed had a great game before, he can definetly start at C on most teams in the NBA. I don't know about you guys, but this exciting, we have a possiblility of a core starting 5 under 28 years old all across that has the potential to have everything you can ask for. I mean all 5 of these guys can dunk. When was the last time we had that.

Also, Thomas in injured, he can't rebound and play good D as he is, so he is half the player he is. Houston and Thomas were out for the game. How exactly are we supposed to win with 3 of the best 4 players out or hurt?
