I don't want to point fingers, but I think as a team we need to step up and play a little harder. We can be up, but we stop concentrating and lose the lead."

    He has a solid point, he just got back from injury, you think the team would have some fire in their eyes, but nothing..they need new ownership.

    McDyess does have a business to talk. Even though he's been injured for this long, he still cared about the team and their progress while he was away. The Knicks should step up he's right. Once McDyess plays for a majority of the season, he'll get his All-Star self back in control. Everyone besides McDyess are embarrassing themselves, and the fans of New York.

    Funny coming from a guy who was in the playoffs once in his career.

    What do you mean by that? McDyess said the right thing, because he's been a winner before in his career and knows what it takes to get to the playoffs.

    C'mon. McDyess is coming from the right direction, so you can't fault the guy from trying. But it would be much better coming from Houston or Thomas, not a guy coming off the bench putting up garbage numbers.

    McDyess will get better, but he'll never be back in 'all-star' form. And the Knicks won't make the playoffs unless he is, so...

    Are we talking about the same guy? The guy who put up decent numbers while playing for some sorry Denver Nugget teams? You can hardly classify a person as being a "winner" when he's been in the playoffs once in eight years.

    No he does not. Dice talking is like Grant Hill talking about how the Magic can improve their roster, or Todd MacCullough talking about how the 6ers need a back-up center.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Everyone besides McDyess are embarrassing themselves, and the fans of New York.</div>

    Dice hasn't been embarassing himself while sitting on the bench?

    Fans need to stop being so nice to injured players that are messing up the teams salary cap. Dice shouldn't be complaining about the Knicks losing when he hasn't been there to help them.

    <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Even though he's been injured for this long, he still cared about the team and their progress while he was away.</div>

    So what?! If he cared about their progress thenhe should care about it more now, and work so that they can win. I'm tired of these tired excuses.

    Anotnio McDyess is not like Grant Hill because Dice's injury wasn't as serious as Grant Hill's. Believe me, it is ok to talk if you're an injured player. At least he still cares enough about the team and it's progress. Most guys that are injured don't have a say of the team, they feel once they're injured, they can relax for the time, and have no comments on how the team is doing. Dice has not been embarrassing himself while he was on the bench. I want to see a Knick fan try to play with the injury he has had, and to tell me how it feels. If you feel that fans are being so nice to injured players, what about Chris Webber? How long has Chris Webber been sitting out for Kings games? How many ballgames? Don't you feel he's messing up their salary structure?

James Dolan is one of the worst owners in sports. On one side of the spectrum you have George Steinbrenner (I'm a Yanks fan) who cares too much. Then you have the small market baseball owners who don't care. Then you have James Dolan. He gives the money but honestly doesn't care where it's getting spent for THE KNICKS AND THE RANGERS. How sad is that? No owner cares less about where his money is being spent. The team could be a bag of rusty nails and broken hockey sticks for $1 Million and he wouldn't notice.

    I'm glad McDyess is speaking up. This team needs some fire in their bellies. Don Chaney is a terrible motivator. This team needs a fire and Chaney can't provide it. Time to make a change Dolan. Listen Up!
