Because the team is now the utter mess he always wanted them to be and was hoping Dolan would make them. At least he was right about Dolan being an idiot -- but now he has to also support Dolan because he said no to Jeremy Lin and yes to JR Smith.
In a very convoluted way, Isola hated Dolan because he probably knows how stupid his judgment is and Isola is not that stupid (just evil). But Isola targeted Lin, because Lin was special and could rescue the Knicks from their misery, and now that Dolan dispatched of Lin because Dolan is an idiot, Isola has to line up behind Dolan. Any questions?
You should read this TL on Twitter about Isola and his Fake hate of the Knicks and his agenda on Lin. Its pretty Interesting.

And finally ... telling us that "this is about Lin ticking off the organization that gave him a chance." Well, Frank would know.

And then compare it to the character-questioning tweets about Jeremy Lin: 85%, no playoff experience, didn't practice with team usa...

The truth is: I know Isola doesn't have a anti-Knicks agenda, because it's plainly obvious he has a Pro-Frank agenda.

As if - even if he were truly at 85% - his play would have done ANYTHING for the Knicks when he struggled against Miami at 100%.

And the most reprehensible - this insistence on bringing up an off-the-cuff "85%" health self-evaluation when he was fresh off surgery.

For the writer and the team, it's win-win. Lin is gone, Isola doesn't need access to him, anymore And he engenders himself to The Garden.
