I'll be blunt, the local media has been besides themselves since yesterday afternoon pretending that Tom did nothing to warrant his dismissal when there were glaring signs all season long that this team had serious issues.

What they think doesn't matter.


i think a lot of them find it sudden and unfair at face value, which i can understand.

but they nor we know what was said behind those closed doors. all i can do is wait and see if we do better.

but the chatter never matters. agree or not.
RIP magnumt

thanks for everything, thibs.

Agreed and it should also be required for players to dress in suits or business casual at the very least! I think them dressing like slobs or Lady Gaga sends a bad message to kids but what do I know!

Can we get an auto-ban for any Mark Jackson suggestions?

Bryant, Dan Hurley, or Jay Wright. (Spo or Kerr would be nice, too).

I believe in Leon.

Bryant is the 'hot young coach' everybody wants and that usually means the Knicks don't hire them. Although, the Suns picking the other guy because of his Michigan ties so the owner is fascinated with him and choosing that guy over him.

So...let me be the first to introduce your new....Knicks...coach...

Mark Jackson!!!!!

Mark Jackson tried to heal Steph's ankle with prayer and holy water. He's a nutcase.

Monica McNutt kept it real. On ESPN today, she explained it from the perspective that the team had outgrown Thibs.

And yet the candidate pool for replacements seem to be a bunch of player development focused coaches. I don’t buy it - we’re hiring an established NBA coach or it was a big mistake.
