Isiah's biggest mistake is pursuing players that are stat stuffers and can't play defense. He also overlooked team players. Reprogramming players to play winning style after years of neglect will only lead to apprehensive performances... LB tried to initiate the effort but this is a players league... now Isiah is preaching the same things Larry was with similar results.... who are the players gonna blame this time? The Bulls will swap picks in the draft and the Knicks will have a new coach next year.

Back on 12-10-06 Zeke made this comment and NY Post writer Vaccarro twisted it to make it sound like Zeke SPIT on the Knick fans. Vaccarro, I have a red hot poker I'd like to show you. --- "I can't expect them to understand the game the way I understand it or see it the way we see it," is what he said. Look at that sentence again. Study it. Let's have some fun and italicize it. "I can't expect them to understand the game the way I understand it or see it the way we see it." That has to do it. That has to tear it. They have been playing basketball at Madison Square Garden since 1930. They have been playing professional basketball there since 1947. Knicks fans don't have to be given any kind of remedial study course on what constitutes good basketball; they've seen it with their own eyes, with their own teams, with clubs that weren't put together by this poser from the West Side of Chicago. </B></I> --- Re: "The Brawl", I think Zeke is giving the Knicks some Piston DNA.
Knicks beat the Jazz in double OT. David Lee did the honors. Are these guys scrappy or what? Getting rid of Brown was the best thing for this club. The bank roll my be too high but these guys can ball. I'll go out on a limb and say these guys make the playoffs.
Knicks 150 Pistons 145...triple OverTime 4 and 0 in OT games this year. They're 4 and 1 since the "Brawl". I'm really starting to dislike this team. Zeke or no Zeke. These guys will probably win the East pushing the Nets down another notch. However should they meet the Pistons in the playoff they will taste the agony of defeat. Zeke will prove Larry Brown was a crook last year.
This team is either better than we all think or Zeke is a better coach and maybe should be the next Pistons coach if Flip fails again......
I'll be naughty and say what about GM? Hey, if these guys win a playoff series. Fuss pot Roscoe might be down.
Easy there cowboy...let us not forget that the owner doesn't have to be reminded of the word "soft cap".
I have a hard time understanding how someone can be supporting the job Isiah has been doing with the Knicks. If they do not at least make the playoffs then he should hand in his resignation and take out a full page add apologizing to all Kick fans for the past few seasons and for all the damage he has done to the Knicks. He should also explain that it will be another 4 years until the next GM has any manuverability because of his decisions and to keep that in mind.
Are you blaming Zeke for the whole Larry Brown thing? He's collected some expensive pieces and they are starting to pay dividens. This year, is the sky the limit?
While the Knicks played on emotion following that mess, they now seem to be returning to the norm. Maybe it's because Zeke can't decide who to play of all that "talent" he's gathered? When Nate and JJ were suspended, the bench was shorter and Zeke had less decisions to make. The emotion was carrying that team.
Actually they were starting beat people up before the fight. The Jazz fell and that wasn't a easy task on the road. What should his rotations be?
