NY NewsDay: Injuries, weak ‘D’ make lottery likely
Injuries, weak ‘D’ make lottery likely

Now Thomas and Marbury find themselves swallowing large doses of humiliation after a seven-week tailspin in which the Knicks have gone 5-19 in 2005, changed coaches from Lenny Wilkens to Herb Williams and arrived at the All-Star break at 21-32, four games behind last season's pace and six games behind first-place Boston in the Atlantic Division.

"We have been playing well for so long, for five or six games, and we've been coming up on the short end of the stick," Williams said. "But guys stuck with it and believed in it. Hopefully, it will carry over to the second half of the season."

The search for a permanent coach won't get serious until the summer, but the more Mike Fratello succeeds with Memphis, the more it appears Thomas blew it when he hired Wilkens last year. It raises the question of whether Thomas wants a strong coach or a seat-warmer to do his bidding.
