Nate Robinson explains what went wrong to Isiah Thomas who still believes his team will one day win a championship. Walt Frazier was unavailable for comment. Too busy jiving and diving in a pool of laughter. 

With the big news of a championship coming courtesy of lifetime Knicks President/Coach/GM (General Moron) Isiah Thomas after his team’s latest humiliating double digit loss to a shorthanded Kings team at Madison Square Garden, I figured this would be the appropriate time to make an upgrade to the HB site.

I mean what better way for all NYC and Knickerbocker fans to celebrate the team’s third NBA title then by creating their very own category separate from the NBA. I mean after all, the Knicks are a guaranteed lock for the 2008 Larry O’Brien Trophy.

Who cares if they’ve dropped a league high 15 of their first 30 by double figures?!?!?!?!?! Not James “Woh is me” Dolan!

Who cares if they’ve won only eight of those 30 including five consecutive defeats to improve to 8-22- third worst in the NBA with only the sad sack old and older Heat and rebuilding T-Wolves with fewer wins. At least those two teams actually boast a young franchise player (Mia-Dwyane Wade, Min-Al Jefferson). 

It’s all going to change starting now! Who’s doubting Thomas these days?!?!?!?!?! This could become the real-life NYC hoops version of Miracle on 34th Street. He’s got the support from Dolan who still also believes the 2007 Mets didn’t collapse. They just hit a slump. Right, Omar Minaya? Roger Clemens also didn’t inject steroids either. It was Vitamin B! CBS’ Mike Wallace believes him!

Whatever happened to just having carrots and OJ? Oops. OJ just isn’t what it used to be. Not since June 1994. Just ask Patrick Ewing and his old teammates who couldn’t even get air time on NBC over OJ Simpson. We hear he’s finally discovered Nicole Brown’s killer! The exclusive to be held on the MSG Network with Dolan, Steve Mills and Bozo the Clown conducting the interview because no other network employee would take part.

Anyone got some extra popcorn? We want to enjoy the circus!

Hey. The Knicks might be struggling these days but look at the bright side. They still have 52 games left! ;)

They trail the league’s best team the Celtics (27-3) by only 19 games. That despite winning seven of their first 18 on the Garden floor even with Eddy “Fat Albert” Curry hanging out by the concession stand. He wanted to stay out of foul trouble and be productive at the same time.

Zach Randolph looks very enthused during last night's 107-97 home loss to the Kings.

Zach Randolph was busy meanwhile waving his arms at the refs while the Kings scored another bucket in transition. “It was the one armed man’s fault,” the ex-Blazer crowed. “You find that man!!!!!”

Man, who knew that he’d be such a natural for Harrison Ford’s role? No wonder Thomas brought him to Broadway. To become a Fugitive obviously!

Despite being without three starters including leading scorer Kevin Martin, Mike Bibby and Queensbridge’s own Ron Artest, the Kings led from start to finish.

Former University of Miami Florida star John Salmons still paced a balanced attack (four players in double digits) with 32 points, 11 rebounds and six assists. Bronx native Francisco Garcia added 22, seven boards and three steals. Center Brad Miller also posted a double/double (26 and 16). Knick leading scorer Curry (24 pts, 3 rebs, 4-of-11 FT, 4 TO) accidentally thought it was a double Big Mac. In other news, Mark McGwire still doesn’t want to discuss the past.

There even was a Stephon Marbury sighting for the orange and blue. Coney Island’s Finest came off the bench to score 16 and hand out four dimes to which Coach Thomas immediately left the floor to dial for help at the whereabouts of Starbury.

Top pick Wilson Chandler even played over 15 minutes scoring seven along with three boards and two assists. He then immediately requested the NCAA give him a year of eligibility back so he could return to Depaul.

Meanwhile, Randolph had quite a productive night finishing with five points (just one more than Renaldo Balkman), four turnovers, four fouls, a team worst minus-25 and a game ejection in 16:49.

“There’s a refusal to come together and play collectively,” Thomas told the Associated Press after his team’s latest defeat last night.

“We do it in spurts, but then we sit back and we watch. Just somehow got to push through this and get them playing together as a group, because individually they do have talent.”

The destroyer of the former CBA also thinks his team still could develop chemistry. It just might take another 40 or so games. Oops. :-)

“I believe that one day we will win a championship here,” Thomas also reportedly stated before tipoff. “And I believe a couple of these guys will be a part of that. And I believe I’ll be a part of that.”

I don’t necessarily just want to win a championship. I want to leave something that’s going to stand for a long time. I want to leave a legacy, I want to leave tradition. I want to leave an imprint, a blueprint in terms of how people play, and how they coach and how they respond when they put on the Knick uniform. And I want to leave what I left in Detroit. Every person that walks through that door as a Piston, when they put on that uniform, there’s a certain pride that they carry. And I want to put that here and I want to leave that here in New York. I want to leave a championship legacy.”   :lol:

Too late for that. He’s already created a legacy. One which amuses TNT’s Charles Barkley along with the rest of the league.

Here is a dubious list that Thomas’ legacy in four years which has included a grand total of zero playoff wins has helped create:

Oh. Don’t worry Knick fans. They only visit the defending champion Spurs tomorrow night.

As Frank Sinatra would say:

 

“The best is yet to come!”
