After staying relatively quiet during the New York Knicks' dismal start, Isiah Thomas has gone on the offensive the last few days.
The Knicks host the Cleveland Cavaliers on Wednesday, one day after Thomas made it clear he wasn't afraid to make changes to the lineup if thingsdidn't improve.
New York (7-17) has dropped six of its last seven games, including a 119-92 loss to Indiana on Monday. The Knicks are mired inlast place in the Eastern Conference
tied with the Miami Heat for the worst record - and frustrated fans at Madison Square Garden have chanted for Thomas to be fired at seemingly every home game.
Seemingly fed-up with the situation, Thomas called out his players after Monday's loss, questioning their effort.
Although not as dire, things have also been frustrating for Cleveland (11-14). The Cavaliers are coming off just their second winin the last 10 games, a 104-99 victory over
the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday 104-99. LeBron James had 31 points, becoming the youngest player to reach 9,000, while Zydrunas Ilgauskas added 24 points and 11rebounds.
Six of Ilgauskas' points came during the second overtime.
Any thoughts on Isiah comments on his players?
Any predictions for tonights game?
