I think what makes it frustrating is that the young core isn't playing. Losing is one thing but you wanna see the future playing. Just gotta be patient. Rebuilds can be painful.

He was a fringe 12th man type guy his entire career and made a lot of friends and build rapport and relationships around the league.
Whether someone is good at their job is one thing.
If a guy is LOYAL and you TRUST HIM is another.
You guys have been out in the workforce, many of you are also a bit older. Loyalty at some level still means something in some areas. Sadly a ton of that is fading but if a guy has been with you a long time and loyal and you trust him, that means a ton to many out there, particular men in a dog eat dog environment.
Sadly you'll also get cases like Brian Schottenheimer running the Jets offense.
If Noah wasn't on this team, I think there would be WAY more focus on Lance Thomas being one of the worst contracts in the entire league. I like Thomas as a fan of the game, but for this franchise, he was a horrible signing and decision.
Getting blown out twice (this time by 20-30 points) to a team that lost 60 games last year is certainly an encouraging omen for the upcoming season.
The Nets have really nice flow and ball movement and stress a defense while every one of our shots is contested. Needless to say, their schemes at both ends of the court make ours look like Tinkertoys.
What the hell is going on??

None of us know but if Hornacek wants to keep his job he'd better figure it out. Scrappy losses are acceptable but he won't survive this in the regular season.

I fully understand loyalty but this is an absolutely bottom line business. If you're not good at what you do, you cost your employers big time and jeopardize the job security of those around you. Keeping Rambis as a coach goes a long way towards putting an inferior product on the court and certainly does nothing positive for this franchise--from the fanbase to the coaching staff to the front office. Sorry, but there's no way I can justify his presence on the Knick bench and forces me to question the competence of the people running this team.
