When Isiah Thomas was asked to clarify whether he had an exchange with fans seated behind the bench, Thomas paused and said, "I just want to make sure our team stays focused. The fans are great, we love them, I'm glad they're here and they give us a lot of support."

According to an individual seated behind the bench, Thomas told the fans it was their fault that the Knicks were making fundamental mistakes such as missing layups and blamed them for not offering support for the team.

In addition to the now familiar "Fire Isiah" chants, there was a brief chant of "Jeff Van Gundy!" According to the whistle-blowing fan who spoke to the media after the game, Thomas shot back, "You kicked him out of town, too!"

Van Gundy resigned December 8, 2001. The Knicks haven't had a winning season since.

I realize there was a thread already made, but I felt so compelled at the thought of JVG coming back. My dad's been saying that he should come back even before tonight. I feel like he can really be the woes to our situation. Unlike Isiah, JVG doesn't have to give a crap about who you are. He can bench you the whole season if he feels you're out of shape, just ask Bonzi. I feel like Van Gundy can really come back and make a difference. He's the old school half court set coach we need. He will really implement the defense that we've been lacking and I'm sure he can bring us back to glory. PLEASE ISIAH, RESIGN AND HIRE JEFF!!

Jeff is a good announcer, Im not sure how compelled he'd be to come back into a situation like this

great for the knicks if jeff does come back to NYC. i'm sure jeff is about the only coach who can turn a team comprised of marbury, curry, and zach into a good defensive team. maybe curry would even start rebounding the ball a little more.
