    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">If Herb Williams owned a sense of humor about the Knicks' remarkably creative ability to squander games, perhaps he'd channel John McKay, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' first coach, who when asked about his team's execution, responded, "I think it's a good idea."

    Instead, buzzards now circle above both a season and a coaching job he has 30 games to save (including tonight's pre-All-Star break finale against the Bucks), plus a team that may be tuning him out as it often did with his predecessor Lenny Wilkens.

    He tells his players to switch, not double-team, on Philadelphia's final possession Monday night - but they double-team Allen Iverson anyhow, and Iverson passes for the winning basket.

    He tells them to play aggressively with a lead in the final minutes. Instead, they watch the clock, play not to lose and blow an 11-point lead with less than 3? minutes to play in Sacramento, a nine-point lead with less than 2? minutes left vs. Charlotte, a seven-pointer with 1:35 to go in Utah and fourth-quarter leads to the Clippers and Suns.</div> Source

    Our team has a pretty big ego for doing absolutely nothing to earn it.

    I'm telling you we need a new team. Isiah is not doing anything but riding Marbury.
