Don’t Blame Isiah
For all real NY Knick Fans, the days of Scott Layden were far worse than they are now. Our roster before Isiah Thomas in the fall of 2003 consisted of Shandon Anderson, Howard Eisley, Clarence Weatherspoon, Frank Williams, Maicej Lampe, Othella Harrington, Travis Knight, Dikembe Mutombo, Michael Sweetney, Lavar Postell, Kurt Thomas, Keith Van Horn, Injured Allan Houston and Injured Antonio Mcdyess. The beat writers that cover the Knicks target Isiah as if he has done such a terrible job upgrading the roster, but before Isiah came here the same writers said that whomever took over this team would have to rebuild it by starting completely over and it would take at least five years to do so because the Knicks were so far above the cap and had players nobody in the league wanted.  All Isiah has managed to do in his three years is get rid of all those players and bring in players that are younger, with more trade value and much more exciting and talented but no matter how talented they are they still need time to gel together. The Pistons, Lakers, Rockets, Spurs and Bulls all needed two to three years playing with each other before they were able to take home the Championship rings. It takes time for players to learn how to play with each other. Isiah is only in year three of that five year turnaround and the outlook look a lot more inspiring than it did before he got here. Isiah’s worst decision since he got here was hiring Larry Brown.  Next Town Brown set the Knicks up, they were desperate and he knew it. He had no intention of being here to see this team get better, he just strong-armed the Knicks into a 50 million dollar deal and in his control-freak way of doing things alienated every player on the team except Jamal Crawford and Quentin Richardson. Larry used the beat writers to insult his players and make his move to get Isiah fired and have complete control of the team. Isiah has made some mistakes i.e. Moochie Norris, Maurice Taylor, Jerome Williams, Jerome James and Jalen Rose trades, but Kevin McHale has been in charge of the Minnesota Timberwolves for eleven seasons and he hasn’t been able to get them consistently in the playoffs, so why aren’t people calling for his head? Kevin O’Connor has been in charge of the Utah jazz for seven years and where have they gone since Malone and Stockton?  Carroll Dawson with Houston Underachievers, he has been in charge for 10 years and they can’t make it out of the first round of the playoffs. Isiah is building a young exciting team that is still a work in progress but the more they play together, the more cohesive they will be and that will translate into wins. After November the Knicks will be alright, they will turn it around and make the playoffs as an eighth or seventh seed with a record of (42-40). I know that seems optimistic but if you look at their schedule it lightens up in their favor, and once we get Jared Jeffries in there at the small forward and slide Quentin Richardson down to the two guard position, the Knicks will be stronger defensively. Kelvin Cato and Renaldo Balkman need more minutes on the floor for defense and rebounding and David Lee should be starting alongside Eddy Curry. Curry will be a better low post threat when he doesn’t have to worry about grabbing rebounds, rebounding is about effort and Curry has shown he is not there yet as far as give effort consistently, so we have to work with what we got and complement his strengths by putting a hustle player alongside him. David could easily average 10 rebounds a game while playing excellent defense, getting put backs/tip-ins and grabbing lose balls that would inspire the rest of team to work harder.  Channing Frye is a finesse player so he would be a good change of pace coming of the bench providing offense with the second unit players.  The starting lineup when Jared Jeffries gets healthy will consist of Eddy Curry, David Lee, Jared Jeffries, Quentin and Marbury with a strong second unit of Frye, Cato, Francis, Crawford and Robinson. Don’t count the Knicks or Isiah out yet. For Mad Maestro Sports, this is Hakim Wray signing off, and I’ll be back as soon as I see another one-sided attempt from the Knicks beat writers, who attempt to distort and discredit the work of Isiah Thomas or any other powerful person of color.

The Knicks suck! Go Lakers!!!

Yeah, I have to side with you on that one. It’s Purple and Gold for me all the way when it comes to basketball, but only basketball (I don’t want you getting me confused with one of those laughable Omegas. LOL).

It’s well known that cash makes us free. But what to do when someone has no money? The one way only is to get the mortgage loans or college loan.
