Even the players are dissecting Thomas' comments. After Renaldo Balkman accepted blame for leaving Michael Finley alone moments before the Spurs guard tied last Friday's game with a last-second three-pointer, Thomas told reporters that Balkman was instructed to stay home on the shooter.

"He didn't tell him anything," said one Knick.

cant really blame balkman because thats just basketball instincts but if he was told to stay on finley then he choked, just a bit over 4 seconds left, up 3, why collapse on somebody who seems as if he's going for a layup?

How can any one player get called out as a scapegoat when the TEAM blows that kind of a lead? Zeke needs to leave, and we need a refund....It is becoming increasingly difficult to watch an entire game. I thought I would start to get numb after a while....like I did during the Kotite years with the Jets...But nope....It still hurts.

Exactly man. Regardless if Balkman blew the coverage, Isiah still publically blames somebody other than himself for the loss. Just once I would like to hear Isiah admit that he f*cked up. But that never happens. It's always somebody elses fault. Kind of sounds like a certain point guard that used to play for the Knicks.
