December 19, 2007 — Knicks fans irate over the team’s lousy play under coach Isiah Thomas have a message for Madison Square Garden management: You can toss us from our seats but you can’t shut us up!
Nearly 50 die-hard Knicks fans — carrying a giant 8-foot-tall pink slip for Thomas — gathered this morning and said they won’t let up until Garden bosses stop tossing critical fans from games and instead put the miserable team’s coach out in the cold.
The Knicks are 7-17 this year and 40-66 since Isiah took over as coach. I think Dolan won’t fire him this season not because they are best buddies, he won’t because it will stir the focus of the media to Dolan’s incompetence managing this franchise.
I think Thomas and Dolan are both the reason why these Knicks team are so bad. Trying to find the quick fix through bad trades and giving up picks in the process, instead of rebuilding gradually, like any other team in this league are aiming for. What’s sad is Knicks fans (yeah me too) don’t know when they will be relevant again. Well, at least we have the young guns (Lee, Collins, Balkman, Nate) to keep us staying positive.
