The guy who owns the Knicks goes on a road-trip with the team once every year, and the time for that trip is apparently now. Whether he’s doing that because it’s so much fun to watch the Knicks or because he needs to get away from Isiah before he kills him is unknown.

If it’s the second one, he’s screwed, because Isiah has decided to tag along this year. Apparently the surprise has give Mr. Dolan a case of the crazies.

“It’s not just about making the playoffs,” Dolan said. “It’s about being a great team during that 82 games and putting a great product on the floor and that should ultimately end up, we would hope, in making the playoffs.”

“I just think [Isiah]’s done a very good job,” Dolan added then. “Particularly in this offseason it’s been, I think we’re ahead of schedule in where we want it to be in terms of bringing on talent and youth and making the team more exciting.”

Looking over that list of goals, Isiah has accomplished none of those things, so we’re not sure where he’s coming from.

We suppose you could take that first sentence fragment about “not just about making the playoffs” and twist that around into something Isiah has done right, but that would have to be worded as “it’s about not making the playoffs”.

We’ve bashed Isiah quite enough on this blog over the months we’ve been here, so let’s take this in a different direction. We’re going to say the best, most positive thing about the Knicks we can.

Here it comes.

The Knicks got blown out by San Antonio last night, which is the third massacre in a row since the Steve Francis trade. Their uniforms were clean.
