2007–08 New York Knicks season

Season of National Basketball Association team the New York Knicks From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 2007–08 New York Knicks season was the 62nd season of NBA basketball in New York City. It began in October and ended with a loss against the Pacers in April.[1] The Knicks missed the playoffs for the fourth straight year and equalled the most losses in a season in franchise history. As a result, Isiah Thomas was fired from GM and head coach with Donnie Walsh saying ''...we reached a point this season when our team didn't compete for a long time.'' [2]
