That was **** bull what they did to Jimmer. He did a tremendous job for Westchester then they bring him up to basically practice for 10 days? **** that.

I was really expecting to wake up today and see that Rambis had been let go. Dolan was furious last night and I thought he would have canned him. This **** has gotten out of control.

Was always going to be a placeholder/fan appeaser until the buyout/waiver market finalized.


it seemed like a backfire because the fans almost had a mutiny last night :lol:


I don't think anyone could have expected the fans acting like that haha. Should have just called up Trice in hindsight

I want all of you to go to your job and produce the results Phil has, while being solely responsible for the hire of every member of your staff and see if you too can deflect all the blame to the owner, your predecessor and your underling (Mills). See how that works out for you.

If I went into a business, cut out their malcontent, stabilized their assets, brought in a great product for multiple years (Porzingis), managed to keep another great product in the company (Melo) and made their future look much better, I'd be looking for a raise.

There's never been an interim coach that's been the worst coach in NBA history.

We have things we never had before. We have a great cap situation. We have a great rookie. We have a superstar. We have some other good valuable assets. We have no albatrosses or big deficiencies.

Yes, our head coaching situation leaves a lot to be desired. Yes, our depth is one of the worst in the league. Everything can't be fixed right away. The hard part was already done. Phil has reset this team in terms of assets and put us in a healthy situation going forward.


But we have not be placed into great cap situation by Phil Jackson. And we do have both albatrosses and big deficiencies.

The skyrocketing cap isn't due to Phil Jackson's moves, it's due to the NBA increasing the salary cap. Would have applied and been available to any GM. The majority of teams in the NBA will have significant cap space...and that doesn't mean that we should applaud every one of those teams GM's.

If anything Jackson's moves have put a mini choke hold on the Knicks cap, both for this past off season and potentially for the upcoming off season. Calderon's $7.5 million contract is locked in through next season. Afflalo and Williams combined $12.5 million also could become locked in (their option, not team option). Kyle O'Quinn (currently 1 of 7 PF' son the team) is another $4 million of of cap space locked into someone that is not used and don't project to have much use. Even Robin Lopez, a fine role player that would ideally be someone you add AFTER you have established your foundation/core and looking to make an impact in the playoffs, potentially can be viewed as excessive use of the cap (and he counts $13.2 million against the cap this off season).

A non-NBA talent doesn't stick in the NBA for the 5th time in his career.

What a shocking development

Jim Todd 4-33 with the Clippers in 2000 and wasn't fired.
Kevin Pritchard 5-22 with the Blazers in 2005 and wasn't fired.
Kenny Natt 11-47 with the Kings in 2009 and wasn't fired.
And Earl Watson is currently 1-11 with the Suns and won't be fired.

Rambis at 2-6 won't be fired either, no matter how much he sucks. This season is already over for us. If anything, we should all be rooting for Rambis to fail, to ensure that he won't be a candidate this summer.

He deserved at least 1 decent look. He deserved more than 5 total minutes in 5 games. Could have given him at least 10-15 minutes in at least 1 game to see what he can do. Jeremy Lin was about to be sent back down, but before he got 1 decent look and made the most of it. Jimmer deserved that.

Rambis wtf bro? Same damn rotations, I mean try something new, nothing has worked so far. Start Grant, sit Jose and Sasha at the end of the bench and roll.

He also won't be fired because it would be stupid to fire a coach whose very title implies he's a placeholder, and then have to find another coach for 20 games

Sasha is not NBA talent, yet he gets plenty of chances to show us he sucks.
