Full Version: It Just Keeps Getting Funnier
I haven't even clicked the link...but yeah, Isaih is retarded...I assume it was him that fueled this decision. The Knicks make my Royals look like the model franchise. Yeah..we suck and have a horrible owner...but sh*t, at least we have somewhat of an excuse in low payroll.....the Knicks have everything.
This should really merit an emergency simmons column
I'm looking forward to Simmons' next article.
Next season should be very interesting.

Its hilarious that THE WORST FRANCHISE IN SPORTS RIGHT NOW is in New York, the biggest market of them all, and the "Mecca of Basketball"
The situation with the Knicks is one of the most disturbing things going on in basketball right now. I just cant figure it out. Someone has to be doing this on purpose. There's just no explanation for it.
That said, Larry Brown did deserve to be fired. His team was the second worst in the NBA and only beat out the Blazers by 2 games. The Bobcats and Hawks had a better record than the Knicks! And while the talent given to Brown wasnt great, it wasnt that bad. Counting that Brown is supposed to be a Hall of Fame coach, the Knicks should've been at least a little better. He should've realized, "****ing Isiah is giving me all shoot first gaurds who play no defense what-so-ever. There's no way my ball-sharing/defensive style will work with this team. I guess we will have to run and gun." That last thought never crossed his mind. Instead he was determined to fit a square peg into a round hole. That was pure stubborness from Brown, and it cost the Knicks dearly. I can think of a few coaches who do much better with that group.
Of course, Isiah is about the last person I would pick to coach this team. The only bright spot is that he gets captain the same crappy ship that he put together. His GM skills are awful and his coaching isnt much better. Maybe he's got some ingenius idea up his sleeve, but right now I just dont see it.

I am not one for conspiracy theories, but I agree with prince. no one is possibly this stupid. someone is doing this on purpose.
and can someone link me to some of Simmons' articles? not sure where they are, but they sound promising.
