It is time for all the excuses to end and for James Dolan and the rest of his organization to become accountable. Every knowledgeable Knicks fan is obviously aware that the organization sold their soul in the '90s to try to win a championship during the Michael Jordan era in Chicago. They paid big dollars to Patrick Ewing, Alan Houston, Larry Johnson and others in the hopes of winning their first NBA title since 1973 and came up short. That is nothing to be ashamed of and executives such as Dave Checketts, Ernie Grunfeld and Scott Layden continued to try to throw more money on top of their aging roster in the hopes of staying near the top of the Eastern Conference. Head coaches including Pat Riley, Jeff Van Gundy and Lenny Wilkins tried to motivate several high profile and expensive players, but failed in delivering a championship back to the Garden.

Who could forget some of the Knicks first and second round draft picks throughout the past seven years beginning with first round bust Frederic Weis in 1999. Donnell Harvey of Florida was the 22nd overall player selected in the 2000 NBA draft and Maybyner Hilario of Brazil was selected with the seventh overall pick in 2002. Throw in Michael Sweetney and Maciej Lampe in 2003 and Trevor Ariza in 2004 and you can see where I'm going with this. The Knicks have been a disaster when it comes to the draft and haven't been able to get quality young players to stick with the organization and become recognizable stars that can connect with their fans.

So that brings us to March of 2006. The Knicks are currently 15-42 and in dead last in the NBA. This has to be rock bottom for Brown, a coach who wanted out in Detroit and left a great team for this group of underachievers. They will remain the underdog in almost every game they play throughout the rest of the season with a fan base that has had enough with being associated with the worst franchise in the NBA.

I am done talking about this team for the next 40 days and 40 nights. They don't deserve my and your attention.  Instead, I look forward to watching college basketball for the next 34 days in the hopes of watching players and coaches who have a noticeable pulse and want to entertain basketball fans.
