New York Knicks beat the Cleveland Cavaliers 108-90 Wednesday for its biggest victory of the season until now.
“I didn’t sleep at all (Monday) night, so we’re trying to figure it out and we’re just as baffled, angry, upset as the fans are sometimes about the way we come out and compete,” Thomas Isiah (NY Knicks coach) said. “They kick the stuffing out of one another in practice. We need to see that type of tenacity against the opponent.”
“For me, losing like we’ve lost is very humiliating, and probably the most humiliating experience I’ve had in my life is standing in a soup line and kids from school walking by laughing at you,” Thomas said. “This is the equivalent of that type of humiliation. I don’t like it, and I only know how to fight and work my tail off to get out of it. I’ve fought all my life and I know how to fight.
“As a collective group, it’s a group that has yet to display that type of tenacity. I don’t think there’s a singular person who doesn’t have heart, but again as a collective unit we’re not gritty enough to fight for (it). Until we get gritty enough, you’re not going to get it. There’s a certain amount of fire and toughness that the athlete has to bring to the game.”
