What Are You Waiting For, James Dolan?!?!?

We have reached "Are you f'ing kidding me?" status here. FIRE ISIAH THOMAS!

Was tonight's 45 point loss bad enough for you? How about the sexual harassment case? How about the mid-air fist fight with the point guard? How about the draft day blunders? How about the bad trades? How about the losses? And the losses? And the losses? How about the humiliation? How about the embarrassment? Have you no pride, James Dolan? Have you no balls? This is ridiculous. What a f***ing joke!

The Knicks scored 59 tonight against a Celtics team that played Garnett, Allen, and Pierce for only 22, 29, and 29 minutes each, respectively. "We take two steps forward and one giant step back," Isiah said after the game. "I don't know where this game came from." I'm going to venture a guess, Isiah. It came from you. You are the head coach. Losing by one point can be a single player's fault. Losing by 45 is not one or two or five or ten players' fault. That's about the team's leadership - or lack thereof. You don't know where this game came from? Look in the mirror, man.

James Dolan, you have to make a move here. You have to. This has passed the point of funny. This has passed the point of embarrassing. This is simply gut-wrenching. If you have any desire to turn your team - no, screw that, New York's team - around, then your first move has to be to fire Isiah Thomas. Now. Immediately. Today. This can wait no longer. In no other line of work would Isiah still have a job. Let's say you own a McDonald's and bring Isiah in to manage it. He hires and overpays horrible employees, sexually harasses one of your executives, gets into a fist fight with the counter guy and then publicly caves to blackmail from him, loses profit every day, pisses off all the customers, and oversees the downfall of your entire store. Then, after the Burger King down the street brings in all the profit, he says "I don't know where this came from." What do you do, James? Promote him?

If George Steinbrenner owned the Knicks, Isiah would have been lined up against a wall and shot a long time ago. You don't even have the guts to publicly call him out. You, sir, are a joke. Get the hell out of New York. And take Isiah with you.
