"Lenny's the best coach I've ever played for, he really is. That's not to say anything bad about Skiles [Crawford's coach in Chicago] or any of the others, but he's forgotten more than all those guys know...He's a Hall of Famer, he explains to me what I do wrong. I love him for that. He's really genuine...[The speculation about Wilkens being fired] bothers me because I feel we're prepared, it's the players. We have to come out with effort and we have to play hard. We can't put it on the coach."Crawford, clearly a big supporter of his beleaguered coach, is the first Knicks player to come forward and take the blame for the recent run of wretched performances...kinda. Since Crawford's turf toe has kept on the sideline the past three weeks his statement isn't exactly a mea culpa, it's more like a they-a culpa.

I don't care if Jamal loves lenny or not but Lenny has to go. The team dcefense has been a disgrace and eventually the coach has to become accountable. The players haven't been great, but why not? Something has to change and it can't be the whole squad. Even if the coaching selection isn't great and you may think Lenny is the best you can get. The the best is as sub .5oo team and thats not acceptable. So why not give another coach, maybe less established to change something. And who knows, maybe the fact that Lenny loses job will convince these players that maybe they should hustled more because they really liked lenny.
