Knicks in chaos today....

[NickfromNJ]

FWIW - The Knicks, a 5.5. point favorite over Orlando are likely to be firing HC Don Chaney after tonites game. Supposedly Mike Fratello is waiting in the wings. NY GM Isiah Thomas is acting true to form and hasn't contacted Chaney about the move and won't confirm or deny anything. Basically, Chaney and his team are trying to prepare for a game tonite with Chaney being hung out to dry by Thomas. WFAN, the All-sports station in NY is ripping Thomas to shreds for his gutless behavior. He was on Letterman last night and supposedly cut down Chaney.

I wouldn't put any $$$ on NY tonite.

too late

but what if it's a good thing

every coachng change or percieved change in the NBA so far,,ahs Yielded an OVER WIN BY MORE THAN 20-30 so this is where ZAP and I agreed to leave the OVER as an agreed play,,,, Im not much for trends,,I am IN FOR PSYCHOLOGY,,,, you saw what happend the other day when they let Penny and Stephan go unleashd they came back from a 20 point deficit,,, to almost win,,,, that final score was ???? 220 I think,,,,

anyway,,, in times of transition,,, they will typically ust say,,go out and have fun,,, lets score,,,, and run,,, what a prefect team to do that with,,,, Orlando,,,,

good luck to all

TOMORROW'S HEADLINES

KNICKS LOSE TO LOWLY ORLANDO....CHENEY FIRED

 

[RobFunk]

fratello though. . .that is damn good choice, if he cant turn the ship around no one can. isiah is really doing a great job over there. the knicks are looking to be a top 3 team in the east. they should do some serious damage in the playoffs.

fratello will get the knicks away from loopy ideas such as "zone defense against peremiter teams" and "run the offense through allen houston" now chaney can smoke his crack in peace and the knick fans dont have to witness the after math of it first hand anymore.

ROB YOU ARE FUNNY MAN!!!!

WE KNOW YOU LOVE THOSE KNICKS

where do get all your logo's for name???

 

[tatehill2000]

I cant believe I am saying this,,,but dont be suprised if the knicks win tonight outright,,,
I do NOT like stephan,,, hes a scumbag ghetto thug,,, but le him play street ball against ORL,,,I think they can win this game outright,,, not by 6,,,, but I do think this one thy amy win,,

I dotn play sides by the way,,, so discount my above statement,,,

Fratello is not the answer don't do it knicks .Hes a over the hill has been has to be somebody else better, have you heard him lately rammble he must be on crack .lol just my 2 cents.

 

They didn't..it's Lenny Wilkens time.

sb

 

[NickfromNJ]

NY Media , specifically The NY Daily News, blew it on the Fratello rumor. That was their back page story this morning ( Go to nydailynews.com and click on SPORTS at the top of the main page - the Fratello story is still up !!!).

 

[gamblingman+]

If they can get a decent center (not that mutombo(sp) isn't) lenny might get it done.Was hoping isaih(sp) would of got a former knick player as coach.

 

[NickfromNJ]

gamblinman - Who were you thinking - Doc Rivers perhaps ??? Would have been an interesting move.

 

[gamblingman+]

Actually nick i would have to think it over a little bit more.I think doc may have coached them before, correct me if i'm wrong i like doc tho.

Let me think on that tho actually chaney was a former knick player but i always thought of him as a celtic,like don zimmer as a redsox

How bout spike lee lol nahhhh

 

[NickfromNJ]

Gamblingman - I could be wrong but I think Doc's only head coaching gig was with Orlando. I think he retired in '96 and started coaching the Magic in '99. I believe he did TV work between his playing and coaching days. Whatever the Knicks do, keep their former star Willis Reed out of the picture. He butched many a draft for the Nets as their GM .

[gamblingman+]

Willis had the hart of a lion but made some bad moves as a gm.Actually isaih probably would of done a good job and i also like doc.

The biggest thing i could never figure out and i've wrote many things on this was trader phil jackson we couldn't of kept him in the fold eh lol.

Still thinking about the ex players.
