We've been letting Phil work, and we haven't seen any tangible results (with the exception of drafting KP). It's painfully obvious that Rambis is NOT the answer at head coach going forward, yet Phil is hard pressed on trying to make the triangle offense work. This is the same Rambis that had to be persuaded by his vets to play the young cats more so late in the season.

I'm just really hoping that this is one of his "mind f*cks" that he's playing on the media & fanbase to keep his real intentions a secret.
Haven't seen any tangible results? He's done lots so far. No playoffs yet but that will come. He's got rid of a lot of dead weight and brought the cap down. He might've fukked up on fisher but that's because fisher fukked himself over. I don't think Rambo will be back as head coach and you shouldn't either. Phil is not a dumbass and I'm pretty sure he knows more about basketball than screaming A, ESPN and the NY post. How much bullshyt has the media spewed about Phil over the last few years with over half of their rumors being wrong? Be easy and let it happen. We've been shytty for three seasons now but we have a trajectory. It could be worse... Look at the Lakers

I'll give you points for being optimistic, but we will see

Knicks fans are going nuts about all this speculation. Y'all nikkas need to fukking calm down and let Phil do work.... U expect us to go to the offs right away?!:stopitslime:

Ima stay away from Knicks fans pages on fb cuz they becoming borderline annoying.

I'm hopeful that the speculation doesn't pan out, but I'll admit that the one concern I had about Phil from jump was if he would be open minded enough to go outside the triangle (as each day passes I hate that word more and more), and it's seeming like he's less and less inclined to open up and consider other options. I don't think we expected to have a mix and boom, instant playoff team, but the writing is there. Nobody has succeeded with the triangle as their base offense, especially not having two all time greats, so it's like when you hear that he's only looking at his homies who have run the triangle, it's like :whoa: I will admit that the one thing that has changed is that there aren't really any leaks, so that gives me some hope that maybe all this stuff is unfounded, and Phil actually might have the sense to expand his net in this search.

Well, historically speaking, no Kurt Rambis team has made it to the playoffs during a full regular season. So... no.

It's one thing to freak out about impending(or not impending) trades/FA/Draft/Rotations... it's quite another to sign up a terrible coach for the long term -- that to me says he doesn't know what's best for the team.

And I'm a Phil supporter.
