    Why didn't Francis start the last 2 or 3 games. What the fuc* is wrong with this coaching. Wheneva he's on the court he is always our number 1 scoring and 2 defensive options. He should be starting on whateva team in the nba he is own besides questionbly the nets. Is larry brown serious??? What the f***

    Have you thought about it being possible that Steve Francis hasn't learned Larry Brown's coaching stratagy yet? My god, Stephon Marbury made it public, the Knicks have not learned his style of coaching yet...

    Hope you see more stuff worth posting for. We're kind of hitting a drought of Knick fans.

    Gee I dont know. Maybe the fact that the Knicks have been competitive in their last two out of three games has something to do with that. Just a thought.


    Anyway I think Isiah Thomas should be fired.

    Stop being so stubborn about Stevie's playing time. He hasn't learned how to play under Larry Brown yet but he will get there. He is an underacheiver IMO.

    Who cares how talented he is? He's another shoot first, underachieving point guard just like Marbury. There are a whole bunch of reasons why he's probably not starting. Maybe he doesnt know the system yet. Another is that Larry Brown needs someone off the bench who can run the point. Another reason is that having two shoot first point guards in the starting line up kills the ball movement as well as causes problems on the defensive end. All I know for sure is that the Knicks have finally started playing acceptable basketball and as long as they keep doing that then Francis should keep coming off the bench.


    Anyway I think Isiah Thomas should be fired.

    It's who finishes the game that's important.

    And besides, starting in NY right now is hardly important given how much Brown is mixing his team up from night to night.
