The last time the Knicks lost by 43 points was against Milwaukee in March of 1972, 2 months before I was born. Never in my life have the Knicks performed as badly as they did yesterday. Never in the history of the franchise have they ever lost this badly at home. This is a momentous occasion! The team doesn't care anymore, and neither do I. I'm actually hoping the Knicks can continue this losing streak into the teens or even further. The Knicks haven't lost 8 games straight since 1987, when I was 15 years old and didn't even care about sports.

The best things we can hope for right now are a trade and a draft pick. If the Knicks keep going the way they're going, we're going to end up with a really sweet #1 or #2 draft pick, which will be just fine. It's something the Knicks need. All the overpaid, old blood on the team doesn't give a damn about anything anymore.

First, however, we need to see a trade go down; something that sends Marcus Camby and Latrell Sprewell out to Portland for Rasheed Wallace and that Bonzi guy, or Camby to Golden State for Marc Jackson... but we've DEFINITELY got to split up this Sprewell / Houston combination. Playing a guard at small forward doesn't work. We've proven it over the past 2 years. The last great small forward this team had was Larry Johnson.

SPREWELL OR HOUSTON CAN ONLY THRIVE WHEN THEY TAKE 30 SHOTS PER GAME!!!!!! It takes utter stupidity for anybody not to have figured this out by now. You cannot give them 15 shots apiece and expect them to get into a rhythm every game! That's why they often score very low in between their good shooting games (which come once out of every 3 or 4 games for either of them (again, a result of the amount of shots each takes, which is why one of them must go)). So, if Houston is untradeable, trade Sprewell. It doesn't matter anymore. We need height, we need imaginative play, we need pride and desire, this team needs a major overhaul.

It's like an old Chevy truck, trundling down the road, sputtering and puking black smoke out of it's tailpipe. The only reason Jeff Van Gundy could keep it in tune was because he's one of the best mechanics this league has seen, and he can keep a broken down vehicle just barely running enough to win a few more games than it loses.

The coach must go and the team must be shaken up. Otherwise, years of boredom and disgust will follow. Too bad management couldn't keep Van Gundy around. His resignation might actually be a good thing, however, because even though WE, THE FANS, KNEW before this season started, that the current roster could not do what we want it to do, what Knick management kept saying it could do, without a trade for a big man, the higher ups were blinded by the fact that Van Gundy could make an old, badly formed team do better than mediocre. Well, now that the team has no coach, we see exactly how good they really are.
