What do you think Steve Francis learned last night as he sat on the bench and watched his new team get destroyed by the Heat? Maybe he learned that the “cornerstone of the franchise”, Eddy Curry, has a long way to go before he can be considered a decent NBA player. Maybe he learned that his new coach still uses his entire roster 50+ games into the season. Maybe he learned that there are worse things than playing for the Magic.
What Gothamist learned last night was that Knicks management is completely delusional. Isiah Thomas stated that he, “pretty satisfied” with where the team is right now personnel wise. Not to be outdone, Larry Brown compared the backcourt of Marbury and Francis to Walt Frazier and Earl Monroe. Maybe Eddy Curry will turn into Patrick Ewing too!
What is certain is that with the passing of the trading deadline, this is the team that will round out the season. They are 11 ½ games out of a playoff spot with 29 games left. It is time to just put the young guys on the floor every night and see what you have. Then, maybe a good GM can come in this summer and start to fix this mess.

...maybe a good owner will come in and run this team like oh maybe...a professional sports franchise? I am soooo glad that I cancelled my season tickets this year, and I'm even happier that they moved the comics to the back page of the post and news. These guys are a f-in joke, and the Dolan's should be run out of town.
Why no blame on the $10 million coach? Zeke is trying to fill out Next Town Brown's checklist. he guy may have been a great coach, and may even still be a good coach, but a great coach could figure out how not to get blown out every single goddamn game with these guys. I don't think there's any debate whether anyone on the team (save Q at this point, he is horrible) should actually be in the NBA. I guess I just refuse to believe this collection of players--really, it's a stretch to call them a team--is THAT bad. So I blame Larry.
That said, someone's got to arrest Jerome James. Not only do I think he ate Jackie Butler, but now he even has a Shaq-esque nickname: "The Big Enron".
Isiah Thomas is pound for pound the worst GM in Fucking HISTORY!!!! Have you ever heard him speak? The dude sounds like a 8 year old trying to sound smart.
the old owner needs to buy msg back from the dolans.
