the loss to Boston was the only one of the six games that surprised me. In general the team still looks like the 45 win team I thought they were. They just have a rough schedule right now.
So now strength of schedule matters to you? Last year you completely dismissed the fact that the Knicks played one of their toughest parts of their schedule when Layden was still GM. But now you take that into account? That's pretty funny.
Here's whats wrong with the team: Isiah Thomas. He's the one who traded for Tim Thomas. He's the one that just had to have Lenny Wilkens as the coach. He's the one that hand picked every assistant on this team and who answer, not to Wilkens, but to Isiah. He's the one who put this disjointed team of unwanted players together. This is what happens when you just acquire players without a plan of how they're all going to fit. But Isiah did get headlines though, thank goodness for that.
Allow me to be the first to start the "Fire Isiah" chants.
