He tells me he slid a note under Phil Jackson's door about the troubles with this team (among them being Jose at PG, Fisher rotations and Polyester uniforms - the last one was a Seinfeld joke). Anyways, to his surprise, Phil responded by basically saying (Paraphrasing) "we're aware of your concerns and consider it a problem. Be patient, changes will be made soon". That's awesome, thanks for sharing kinda eases my mind about my nightmares of Jose starting the rest of the year . I wonder if we do end up buying Jose out... I also wonder if Phil is coaching fisher and trying to get him to settle on a stable rotation. |

Egyptian cotton...it breaths, wicks away moisture, and it should help our endurance during the game.
EnySpree: Can we agree to agree not to mention Phil Jackson and triangle for the rest of our lives?

I do really appreciate you sharing this, but I do worry about you getting your friend in trouble- when you mention him, he must be very easily identifiable to MSG, and Phil has said in the past that he doesn't take too kindly to his trustees talking. |

I was riding a bus on the upper west side in the late 80s, and when the bus got to Lincoln Center, I saw Michael Richards talking to a couple, he was dressed exactly like Kramer, no one was filming, thought it was very odd.
Loved that show, Curb your Enthusiasm too, and Ive seen the first season of Veep, and that is funnier than I thought it would be. Its like Elaine becoming vice president. |

Wow, thank goodness for the note. Im sure mills or phil and the legion of coach's with rings in their safes had no idea of the back court problems!!!!
That, and the media! Thank good for the media too!! otherwise phil would be smirking 27/7!!!!! Lets be cryptic and think maybe PHil is putting this stuff out to "friends of friends" so hyped up superfans are put at ease? Fish may be a sort of rookie coach but he played 16 years in the league and WON. |

Melo, Rose and even Noah will have some nice moments however this team should be about PORZINGUS. the sooner they make him the primary player, the better

Why not this is the best knick board in the country ... I know there's beat writers all over this board stealing ideas from our topics as well as belonging to this board ... So why wouldn't one of us know someone who works in the front office of the Knicks? |

Please don't when it comes to Jose, lol I know it's important to keep your sources identity a secret but it's nice to know that the front office has the same concerns as us which fill up 90 % of the topics on this board |

Anyways, to his surprise, Phil responded by basically saying (Paraphrasing) "we're aware of your concerns and consider it a problem. Be patient, changes will be made soon". First of all, who places written notes under doors in 2015? If placed there anonymously, how would Jackson have addressed it and would he have had any respect for an anonymously-written note under his door to address it at all? If signed by a note under the door? Why not an email or a knock and say it in person? Did Jackson tell this person in confidence and this person's job is now threatened? Did Jackson call the staff together and reveal to a group of staffers what could then get to the press and the team itself. Sorry, this story strain credibility. Just doesn't make any sense. |

The premise it was a joke, but it isn't much one. That Jackson didn't get it. The missing info was how he responded. And the premise is Jackson didn't care if the info made it into the locker room, where it could cause uncertainly and anxiety. This has the makings of the sort of story people believe because they want it to be true. Just doesn't seem like the real world. |

Ned, I hope that your friend is independently wealthy or that you have a spare bedroom for him.
