Will Knicks be booed out of MSG Against the Cavaliers?

2-5. That's the stand the New York Knicks are in right now in Isiah Thomas' first crack as an NBA Basketball head coach.

When the NBA Basketball hall of famer took over as head coach for the struggling New York Knicks, many thought this will open brighter days for their franchise after having quite a very disappointing stint last season.

Well, the New York Knicks lost two of their last three games and fans are starting to wonder if Isiah Thomas can really make a difference. Yes, the Knicks fans at Madison Square Garden has started booing their Knicks out of the building too.

As the New York Knicks returned home, Thomas turned his frustration toward the New York fan base, which has made Madison Square Garden inhospitable only to the home team. The Cleveland Cavaliers will arrive Monday, and it is possible that LeBron James will be greeted with far more enthusiasm than the Knicks.

''We got to start winning at home,'' Isiah Thomas said. ''And we got to get to the point where we make our arena uncomfortable. It disappoints me that players feel that they can come into New York and that's the place to put on a show and play your best. We got to change that mind-set across the league.''

He added, ''Save your best performances for other arenas. We don't necessarily want them in ours.''

The New York Knicks lost BOTH their home games so far this NBA Basketball season. They lost to the Indiana Pacers and the San Antonio Spurs as Knicks fans in attendance booed their team with reckless abandon.

Most of the booing were directed to Brooklyn native, Stephon Marbury, who is not having one of his best seasons so far.

Monday, LeBron James and the Cleveland Cavaliers will be looking to put on quite a show at the world's most popular arena. Michael Jordan just LOVED playing here and LeBron James, wearing no.23 himself, will definitely be looking to do the same.

Who will win the 2007 NBA Championship? Here are some odds from Bodog:

Chicago Bulls 7/1

Detroit Pistons 9/1

Dallas Mavericks 7/2

Miami Heat 4/1 (boo!)
