Bobcats Beat Knicks

Loss #18. To say this was disappointing would be to understate the issue. This certainly is another game that belonged in the win column.

Once the holidays pass, there simply have to be some team adjustments. The Knicks must shop and acquire a point guard who will stabilize and provide consistency to what goes on on the court.

The acid and malicious NY media continue to gnaw at Isiah, the Knicks, and every comment, criticism, and quip is transformed into a perverse antithesis of the actual event.

The garden is slowly being turned into a torture chamber for the players and coaches who are all trying to turn this season around. This is not to say that fair criticism isn't necessary or welcome but for months the desire of the media to bring down Dolan, Isiah, Marbury and anyone else who wanders into their site is a New York Sportswriters bloodsport.

It is hard to imagine who would ever want to take on replacement status should it come.

What is being done to the Knicks in the NY media is wholly unethical reporting practice - no question. From planting stories in the other team's locker room to incite animus before a contest (Indiana) to intentionally bearing false witness to conversational exchanges, heads should be rolling in the news ranks as well as with the Knicks.
