When it was announced that former Indiana Pacers’ CEO Donnie Walsh had agreed to take over as the Knicks’ President of Basketball operations, there was dancing in the streets (I did a back flip followed by a cartwheel). The reign that was “Isiah the Terrible” is over! However, as ecstatic as we all are about …

After listening to yesterday’s quotes from displaced Knicks team president Isiah Thomas, I think I now understand why Zeke still hasn’t been canned and evidently will instead twist in the wind for the team’s remaining games: Comedic value.

It was reported last week that Walsh has had discussions with Madison Square …

I’m gonna go out on a limb here: Isiah Thomas is done with the New York Knicks. Laughable, I know, but if the Knicks have proven anything this season, it’s that they defy all reason.

Perhaps Zeke be retained within the organization in some capacity, however, the prospect of him returning …

Fellow hoops fans, we’re in a state of mourning. Lets face it, both of our area teams are horrible. The Nets are rebuilding with what would be the equivalent of rotten wood and the Knicks…urrggh (beating my head against a brick wall).  So, instead of going into a deeper state of depression, let me get …
