Speechless
Seriously, I am absolutely speechless.
And no I am not talking about the embarrassing performance of our national socceer team (by the way our "national" teams have not been so hot as of late in international competition).
No, it is the New York Knickerbockers which leave me dumbfounded. Noah Webster does not have enough adjectives to describe my confusion over this once proud franchise. In a move that was expected (but you hoped would never really happen) Isiah Thomas has fired Larry Brown and hired himself as coach of the team.
Is anybody awake? Did you just read what I wrote. Thomas hired himself, yes himself as coach!! What? Was Larry Brown's Hall of Fame coaching background too good for the Knicks? Now, while I agree Brown did a fair job with this team this past season, Brown with one foot in the grave is light years better than Isiah Thomas. How can one man, well two men (James Dolan), continually do things that everyone else knows are wrong and get away with it is unbelievable. Nobody, experts, fans, reporters, little children in Malaysia who know nothing about the NBA, thinks that any of this moves, most especially this one improves your team or franchise in any way shape or form.
This thing has gone on long enough. I am in terrible fear of Thomas's safety in New York. He could get shot or stabbed to death very soon, now I am not saying I am going to do it but some loon out there might. I will give Thomas this piece of advice, don't go strolling through the

Where is the White Coaches Association when you need them. I don't think they did enough "token" interviews before they settled on the black man. Just kidding, but Isiah Thomas really sucks as a coach. And the Knicks suck as a basketball team.
I'm not defending Isiah or the decision, but I heard a stat yesterday that in his three seasons in Indiana the team won 41, 43 and 48 games.
That's sounds like improvement to me.
I could give two of Kris' shits about the NBA and the worst professional sports franchise (and for that the Clippers thank you), but if I was a fan, I would be happy with this decision.
It means in a year when they win 30 games, Dolan will fire Isaih and blow up the whole team...
Or at least that's what I would be hoping for
Landon Donovan OUT
You understood the point I was trying to make. As Isaih the coach, you're getting the best of a Hall of Fame player off the court.
As a owner, he was horrible.
As a team president and GM, he was worse than horrible.
As a coach, he's not great, but he's better than Tim Floyd.
Nevertheless, the main point has been repeated. As a coach, he's easier to fire and start the demolition of the Knicks from the ground up. I don't even think you keep Starbury as the one crowd pleaser
Kasey Keller OUT
