<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Knicks beat writer Frank Isola reports that Isiah Thomas is likely to receive an extension as long as the club doesn't suffer a collapse and wins at least 30 games.

He adds that some people believe James Dolan has already made up his mind that Thomas will be retained.</div>
:HAHAHA: Wow. Just wow.

What a joke.

Yeah they should fire him and bring back larry brown who did the worst job of his entire career. isiah is doing a good job and I'm not even a fan of isiah. I was the first one that wanted him fired but he has instilled confidence in his players especially eddy curry, and stephon recently. they're gonna win above 30 games for sure and make the playoffs as well and that's a big improvement from last year. 6 more wins and they've equalled last years total.

He's employed in the Philadelphia front office anyway. I think that he needs to hire a real head coach, a la Rick Adelman. He's been doing an impressive job, and is drafting well. Balkman is playing well for the Knicks, and David Lee continues to show that he was a steal.

Only 30 wins in 82 games and he can keep his job? That's crazy.

</div>Considering we won 23 last year, it's an improvement. Plus, Balkman has been as effective as any rookie out there. He's a great role player off the bench, and perfect for our team. Good drafting by Isiah.If we could win 40 next year, then were are going the right direction. But if you keep improving your wins by 5-10-15 games each season, you'll start winning more often.

Isiah isn't actully a bad coach, hes doing as well as Brown W/L wise. And keeps players on there toes knowing he is the GM.

Jeez....while the Knicks are at it, sign Jerome James, Steve Francis, and Jared Jefferies to some more ridiculous extensions.

 

[moses2121]

Can't believe this is really happening I mean come on they are still 5 games under .500 and arn't gonna make the playoffs anytime soon.

 

[nykfan4life]

actually 8 :cry2:

 

[Serge]

Ah Idiots OMFG get the dude out of there what are you doing????????? And let me tell you it was not Larry Browns fault last year. They should never have fired a great coach like him.

 

[Amare320]

F*ck James Dolan.

 

[MosDefinitely]

They should at least get a new GM if they're not going to part ways with Thomas, sign him to coach the Knicks for another year and see if he could improve on this season but definitley its time for a change in the office because Thomas cant be a GM
