God forbid anyone blame the players! If they don't play with intensity, that's their own fault. No one needs to motivate Kobe. No had to motivate Patrick Ewing or Allen Houston. It's called professionalism. You can try to blame Isiah for that, but you probably blame him for 9/11 and WW1 and WW2, and if you have a bad day as well.
The total loss of fire since Isiah got extended is sad. Lee Nate Balkman leave it all out there but the rest just dont give a crap. Its sad. We have one big similar pile of crap player to player that doesnt care and we just gave the guy that built it a huge extension. Its really strange to me. Impossible to understand.
Isiah I think is a good motivator type coach, I do not care what kind of job you do...it's always nice to have someone on the job that can maybe not necessarily inspire you, but lead you to do your best. Yes they are in the NBA, that should be motivation enough but like with all jobs you do it and after it while it no longer has the same luster as when you first started.
Isiah does have an eye for talent, true.
But Isiah doesn't bother to know how to read a financial report on the cap space he does not have, nor think looks at the draft to see where his picks could be landing...
Would I tank the ****ty team in order to get say the 2nd pick overall and 16 pick overall in a draft? Yes...
Ahahaha @ the replies in this thread...
Im no longer glad to see Isiah got the extension, Im tryin to think of what he did in Toronto that i was referrin to, probably draftin Camby and T-Mac.
I think this was before Crawford got hurt last year and a couple other players, they were playin 500 ball at this point? I dont think there record was 500, but I remember from some point in late December on they played 500 ball until crawford got hurt.
Bottom line is I knew this team would never be a championship team but I thought theyd at least be competitive, they showed us fans reason to believe that last year. I think the Zach Randolph trade made the Knicks worse and the East got better. Those 2 things have made the Knicks a lottery bound team with a coach/gm and owner who need to go but it dont sound like they goin anywhere so what are we the fans supposed to do?
- root for another team
- protest infront of MSG
- hope Isiah can obtain a player that can make the team competitve again
- hope that player is Ron Artest
- commit suicide
- join in with eddy, zach, and jerome and eat Burger king nightly with them
- Go onto other team forums and talk trash about their teams to make us feel better
- Cry
- Do drugs
- Drink
- Lie about who our favorite basketball team is
- Accept things for what they are and hope for the best
- Stop watching them
- jump off the empire state building
