If you believe that headline, you're clearly delusional. But that seems to be exactly what Isiah Thomas believes. In mid-December, Isiah said it would be fair to ask about his coaching status after two weeks to see if he improved. Well, those two weeks are up and he still believes he's fit to coach the Knicks. more ›

Let’s not get too excited by the fact that Larry Brown won his 1.000th game last night. Sure it is a nice achievement for him, but the other coaches who have reached it, Lenny Wilkens, Don Nelson and Pat Riley, all coached the Knicks and never won a championship. Instead, let’s focus on the fact that the Knicks have won six in a row, the latest a 105-94 victory over the Hawks. more ›

Have you ignored basketball this year until now? Don't worry, Gothamist Sports has sympathy for you, the casual hoops fan. Now that NFL season is over and the NHL doesn't even bother to play, we've assembled a half-season recap to help you catch up. more ›

After their third one-point loss in seven days on Friday night, Lenny Wilkens decided he had seen enough. He met with Isiah Thomas after the game, then announced his resignation on Saturday. more ›

These losses (especially the one to the Hornets last week) have put Lenny Wilkens' job in serious jeopardy. Isiah Thomas has sworn that he would never install himself in the coaching role, but the New York media have never really put much stock in that. Given Thomas' proclivity for trades, expect some shifts in both players and coaching before next month's trade deadline. more ›

What's next for the Knicks, sinking back below .500? Raising their level of play to make the playoffs again? Maybe it's way to early in the season to talk about that and we should re-direct our thoughts to when and if Lenny Wilkens will be axed. That said, the Knicks are somehow in first in the Atlantic Division. Impressive if you choose to ignore the fact that everyone else has sub-.500 winning percentages. more ›

Isiah Thomas made perhaps the first move in what figures to be a series of unfortunate events for current Knicks head coach Lenny Wilkens by sacking assistant coach Dick Helm. Helm, a longtime Wilkens assistant, was the only assistant on the staff not handpicked by Thomas. His replacement is Brendan Suhr, a longtime Thomas compatriot. more ›

Sure, Albert was biting the hand that fed him, but who is James Dolan kidding? Has he seen the Knicks of late? They deserve criticism. Leafing through the paper this morning, Gothamist was shocked, stunned, shaking our heads. But what do we know? All we know is that Knick broadcasts will not be the same. more ›

We don't want to be agiest, but there has to be a time when you hang it up. If you're playing well, as in Clemens's case, by all means, keep playing if it's going to make you happy. But if you're just coaching away and not really performing to expectations, isn't it time to retire? We know that many Nitanny Lions fans want JoPa to retire so the program can move into the next era. This may sound unreasonable, but Paterno's teams haven't played up to expectations, going 22-26 since 1999. Sure, it will be difficult for Penn State to move on when Paterno leaves, after all, he's been the head coach for 38 seasons, but sooner has got to be better than later. more ›

- Wilkens joins the Knicks on 1/15, team is 17-24 and 20-18 since, improving 11% more ›

The Knicks, fighting for a playoff spot and playing at home, could barely muster a win against the Wizards, a team that will watch the the post-season on their TV sets. Gothamist hopes the Knicks make the playoffs, but if they keep playing like this, they either wont make it or they'll get bounced out in the first round. more ›

Also, it's great that all the stories about Lenny Wilkens now coaching say he's the winniest and losingest coach in NBA history. That's like getting a lawyer who loses as many cases as he wins. And tien sums it up pretty well: "Lenny Wilkens is an old, old man." information leafblower turns his attention to briefly the Knicks team: "I read some thing today that said Allan Houston hasn't had an assist or a rebound in over a week." more ›
