Rockin’ Steady

From the Daily News:

“I have extreme confidence that we’ll get it done here,” Thomas said. “You can mock and laugh along the way because that’s how it goes when you’re on the bottom and you’re trying to get to the top, but I’m extremely confident that we will get to the top as a Knick organization. We will deliver something that one day everyone will be proud of. Again, you haven’t been proud here since ‘73, 1973 that would be.

“So we’ve got our work cut out and I intend to stick it through and stick it out. It’s a tough place and you deliver tough blows, but my job is to take it, and to keep moving, and to move through it. I’ve won in this league several times, and I intend to win more times than that. Say what you want and do what you want, but one day you’ll be asking me how’d it feel when I was sitting here, and I’ll tell you how I felt, then I’ll talk to you about the championships hopefully we’ll deliver for you.”

The Knicks reached the NBA Finals in 1994 and ‘99 and were one of the league’s best teams that decade. When asked if he is saying that fans have had nothing to be proud of without a championship, Thomas said: “That’s the way I look at it.”

You know what, Isiah Thomas? Get the fuck out. Get the fuck out of my house. You’re not wanted here, you’re not welcome here. Get the fuck out. Get the fuck out of my house. Come back when you can lick Jeff Van Gundy’s fuckin’ boot as a coach. Come back when any of your players knows one tenth of what Derek Harper knew about defense, one tenth of what Charles Oakley knew about pride. Get… the… fuck… out. Now. Just, just go.

GO! NOW!
