that was a HORRIBLY coached game by Lenny...after the first 2 minutes that Sundov was on the court, it should have been CLEAR that he wasn't going to make an impact in the game...he should have put Vin Baker in the game when KT got into foul trouble, but he stays w/Sundov for some unexplainable reason.

then Ariza is in the game making plays all over the court & spurring the comeback, then inexplicably he takes him out & puts Tim Thomas back in the game...Peja then immediately goes off to extend the lead.

then when it's at the end of the game, there's about 38 seconds left & the Knicks down by 6, he chooses not to foul & the Kings run down the clock & hit another jumper...then he chooses to foul after the game is already decided...tell me what sense that whole sequence made because i'm still trying to figure it out.

all in all, a HORRIBLE 1st half, & a spirited 2nd half, & a non-sensical ending that i'm still trying to figure out.

i'm beginning to think Vince Carter was right about Lenny.

as well as all the raps fans who told us exactly what lenny would be like...........and they were all 100% correct.


WILL ZEKE EVER DO ANYTHING ABOUT THIS?

he is a smart bball man, he watches every game from the entrance way. he must see the same mistakes we do?

of course he does...he just can't fire a guy just because they lost 2 games in a row. but when it happens time and time again then it's justifiable. IMO tommorow their will be a trade and shortly after Lenny will be fired. Just like Last year with Chaney

The only thing Lenny did right tonight was not playing Penny in the second half
I wasn't born with enough middle fingers!!!

you know whats funny...after some people were calling for Lenny to be fired after last season all people kept saying was how we needed to give Lenny a full training camp. Well what do you know he got a training camp and they still don't come out to play.

I was also amazed that Nazr was out on the last 3 minutes of the game.

You know what? I want the Knicks to go on a losing spree just so Lenny can get can or to force Isiah to do the much needed trade.... This team has overachieved so far, and Marburry has saved Lenny's rear end many times this season.....It is time for him to go. The Knicks have a real chance at becoming a good team if we can elevate someone else to run this team. Isiah doesn't have to hire anyone from the outside for now. He should just give the job to Agwire and allow him to earn the job..
The true Knickabocker..........

before anyone takes this thread as me jumping on Lenny's back & blaming the loss solely on him, that is NOT my intention...but i do think he did a horrible job of coaching tonight...i'm just calling it like i see it...Lenny's nonsensical coaching decisions leave me scratching my head all too often, & it's getting to be a big concern.

Zeke will do nothing about this because he doesn't like to admit mistakes made. He would rather suffer than to admit he made a mistake. His ego is to big for that

When he hired Lenny, Bankrupted the CBA, Gave KT and extension lord knows why yeah he has made mistakes. He is only human. Its ok to go back admit a mistake and make needed changes.

The jury's still out on whether Lenny was a mistake for this season. The team really isn't underachieving at 16-15.

Giving KT an extension was not a mistake when the only other option was losing him for nothing. Keeping an 11/10 player is better than losing him for nothing.

I couldn't care less about the CBA

please guys, get real.

Unless a trade is made that would allow us to make a great playoff run (like getting some help inside, abdurrahim, dalemeberrt and co)


>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LENNY IS HERE TO STAY

He's be given a job that no coach would have accepted. He has no future and he knows it. The team is flawed and lenny is here to wethear the storm.

Once the team will be a true contender, he'll be shipped at the first bad streak and another IT peon will take the lead.

Changing the coach right now wouldn't help our defense or solve our problems at the 3 and 4 positions.

Yeah I couldn't believe that Sundov was in; he turned the ball over with a crappy pass a few times. And then I see poor Vin Baker wasting away on the bench hoping that he comes in. Oh well, Lenny screwed this one up

Down by 6 with 36 secs to go, yo still have time for a defensive stop!

Imagine such a thing, then you gotta get a quick three, and say 10 secs left, foul and pray!

Foul with 35 secs, they go up by 7 or eight. we get a quick three they up by 4-5pts. Hmmmmmmmm, could do either. Maybe they should have fouled?

Maybe it was time to show some faith in a defensive stop! Bottom line was after TT was touched on the attempted dunk, the team kinda gave up! Kings hit the shots, knicks did not!

I have a feeling Bruno is about to be cut. You see this right before guys are released. Utah did it with Rado-whatever. I was at the Utah game when that guy was starting at center. I was suprised because I never even heard of the guy.

we pretty much have 4 roster spots that are being used up by players that will not contribute any value to the team - brewer, bruno, penny, vin. that's pretty bad. i like what isiah has done with the main roster but these last 3-4 spots are pretty bad.
