http://realgm.com/src_wiretap_archives/435...h_warns_knicks/ <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>An irate Isiah Thomas guaranteed yesterday the Knicks will reverse their home misfortunes and start edging toward .500. He delivered his message during a morning-shootaround rant in which he threatened "drastic measures" will be taken if things don't turn. Thomas told the team no more excuses, it will win at the Garden, boos or no boos. In addressing their home mental block before the game, Thomas said, "They need to be more afraid of me than the crowd, more afraid of what I can do than what the crowd can do." Even in victory, Thomas seemed down. Their dispirited fourth quarter when they nearly blew a 16-point lead with 10:41 left put a damper on matters. "It's a win. I'm satisfied we won but I want more from our team and we'll keep pushing them," Thomas said. "I'm not disappointed. I'm glad we won but I'm not satisfied. I want more."</div> Give me a break. How many times has Isiah threatened these guys and had quotes similar to this? Has anything changed? No. I remember he said he was going to bench both Marbury and Francis if they didn't show anything soon, and Marbury has been playing like crap every game this year. Francis hasn't been doing very good either. He never took action, did he? Come on, Isiah. Stop doing this, the team is not going to change, they aren't going to start winning because you threatened them (once again).

I don't think isiah is a good coach tho and I think he needs to step down.
Isiah should threaten himself, because he is responsible for that mess in New York. If he can't turn around, he should take "drastic measures" against himself, and "be afraid" of what he can do to himself.He's more than likely going to be gone after this season anyway.
