The Land of Oz
Toto, I’ve a feeling we’re not in Kansas anymore. Well Miss Dorothy Gale you could not be more right. We have reached some surreal place where Isaiah Thomas can take the impossibly bad and make it worse. He some how pulled off a trade with the Bulls to acquire Eddie Curry to presumably clog up the middle which is already occupied by free agent signee Jerome James.
Now the Scarecrow Mr. Thomas (no brain) has assembled what he thinks is a good NBA team. Oh really, you are aware that you have taken three of the biggest malcontents and shoved them into the same backcourt; Stephon Marbury, Jamaal Crawford, and Quentin Richardson. You did not have enough balls to go around with just Marbury and Crawford.
“If I could make New York a winner
in Manhattan I’d eat free dinner
Confetti it would rain
In my booth I’d be a watchin’
My Knicks there’d be no stoppin’
If I only had a brain”
Eddie Curry was originally thought to be a bust, then as he came on (in his contract year) it appeared as if he would be an attractive free agent. However, late last season he was diagnosed with an irregular heart beat and had to miss the end of the regular season and the playoffs. The Bulls wanting to keep Curry insisted that he take a DNA test so they can be assured that he indeed does have a heart, and that is does actually work. Alas, Mr. Curry refused, and no heart and all the Knicks figured he would fit well into their plans of opening a Broadway revival.
“I am young and I’ve got game
in New York I’ll have much fame
with the Bulls I did part
In the game I want success
I’ve made the Knicks a bigger mess
If I only had a heart”
Part of the Knicks problem lies within the 70 billion dollars we are still paying Allan Houston. The Knicks somehow missed the day this summer were NBA teams could let go of a player with almost no financial repercussions, because Houston is still on the damned team. This is a guy has tea water running through his veins, he is the Cowardly Lion. He has never played the game with any passion or desire, and never stepped forward and had the courage to be the BMOC.
“From the Knicks I’ve stolen money
cause in the clutch I’m rather crummy
my contract I don’t deserve
for there’s time to change my story
Maybe I could bring some glory
If I only had the nerve”
But of course we are now in the Land of Oz, what can fix us all? That’s right the all great and powerful Wizard of Oz. Enter the nomadic Larry Brown, the man who is going to give Isaiah the brain, and Eddy the heart and inspire Allan Houston to have a little courage!!!

I'm just impressed by this post on so many levels!!! This musical could be made better if done by the entire cast of the Hilton head trip.
Jake Cahill as Dorothy
Rob Agnili as The Flying Monakey
Pete Belawske as Toto
Kris Deblasio as Kansas
Dann Price as a Drunken Tornado
Josh as all the Midgety Lollipop Umpa Lumpa Thingies
Dave as The Yellow Brick Road
Whitie as The Ruby Red Shoes
And Martin, the Lord of the Dance, as the Invisible Man Behind the Curtain...for obvious reasons!!!
Open scene.........
I hope you forward this to every sports site in the country, especially the New York ones. Send it to PTI and have them toast you to the world, then send it to whatever Awards they hand out for blog sites. I'm sure either E! or Bravo will have it on soon...
I'm glad for whatever small part I didn't take in this and don't expect payment in the form of hi-larity anytime soon.
Next up for the fat man - What was Gary Bettman thinking not taking less money to stick with ESPN, instead dragging his bleeding carcass of a sport to OLN (formerly known as the Outdoor Life Network. Like Sean Combs, they decided it was easier to forget if the name was shorter.)
What the %@*# was that guy thinking?
Mike Greer OUT
Teacher asked Little Johnny why he was a Giants fan. He replied, "Because my parents were Giants fans." Teacher asked, "What if your parents were criminals, druggies, and uneducated losers?" Johnny replied, "Well, then I'd be a Packers fan!!"
