brown officially fired, isiah to take over

[Cloudy]

It's good that you mentioned Knicks actually won championships! Right now I'm just putting this team in ranks with Hawks etc... What a disappointing organization

[.Dee.]

Were jsut going to see what happens
obviously Isiah is all about offense so i wouldnt
expect a Knick player winning defensive player
of the year, but i never doubt the Knicks
but there is a pretty big black cloud
good luck knicks this would never happen if i got drafted

[Jeffx]

I just heard(on WFAN) that the Knicks don't want to pay Larry his loot. They feel he violated team policy(like telling the truth about this sh!t roster Isiah assembled). Stern will serve as arbitrator. Pathetic.

[Indy]

HAH! I wouldn't wish Thomas on anyone, not even the Knicks.

[Fenix]

At least the Knicks handled the whole situation the classies manner possible. Wait, NO THEY DIDN'T!

I wonder what that means for the Bulls' pick. Is there any chance in hell this roster manages to get to the playoffs? I'd say no.

[Silas]

At least the players (Marbury, Francis) like Isiah more so maybe their chemestry will be better next season, either way they cant do any worse....

[Axel]

I wish Marbury would die.

[Jugs]

Some are saying maybe the Bobcats?

Bickerstaff was stepping down as head coach for next season. Seattle or Portland might want to go after Brown too, considering their coaches have issues too.

Nate McMillan is one of the only good things Portland has. He doesn't have any issues. Zach Randolph and Darius Miles are just selfish whiny little bitches.

Word, I can't wait until those fuckers are gone out of Portland.

Hang on a sec.........I thought you loved Randolph like he was your own child???

They demanded to be traded so fuck them up their stupid asses

[Andrew]

Because our brain-dead owner thinks Isiah's a genius. The Knicks franchise is finished.

Perhaps now he's returning to the sidelines, it will be a blessing in disguise. Maybe that illusion will be shattered once Dolan sees that not even Isiah can make the roster he created work as a cohesive unit.

I still think Larry Brown is partly responsible for what went down last season. Everyone who had anything to do with what happened on the court last year deserves to shoulder a portion of the blame. That said (and even though I don't agree with some of the decisions he made), Brown has been made a scapegoat and the drawn-out way his firing was a poor choice and badly handled by the Knicks.

[Jeffx]

Perhaps now he's returning to the sidelines, it will be a blessing in disguise. Maybe that illusion will be shattered once Dolan sees that not even Isiah can make the roster he created work as a cohesive unit.

But in Dolan's warped brain, if Isiah wins ten more games, he'll think the team's making strides. We'll never be rid of Zeke if that happens.

[John WB]

Hopefully Isaiah coaching will make him realize what kind of crap he's thrown together and lead him to make better GM decisions.

I only wish.

[DatYellowGuy]

That's good news. Brown is ultra defensive coach who doesn't have a clue about good basketball

NY is the worst franchise in the NBA. The owners aren't smart, they are just squandering money every year with a team full of bad players, and the expensiest

Except when he was coach of the Pistons they won the championship right? Exact same team and you change the coach and they turn into whiney bitches during the playoffs and lose.

[Matthew]

This has to be the dumbest, stupidest move in the history of sports. Nobody expected Larry Brown to do anything in his first season with the knicks. Nobody with half a basketball brain at least.

With that being said, and considering I'm from australia, not new york, and all the players from the 99 finals run that i supported are gone, im officially jumping ship and becoming a bobcats fan. .

[BIG GREEN]

Man that 99 team solidified my knicks fandom. I saw a game with those guys against the spurs on ESPN classic the other day and it brought a tear to my eye. I wouldn't mind having the knicks 99 and 2000 seasons on DVD.

[Matthew]

I still believe if ewing was injured in 99, the knicks would have beaten the spurs.

[BIG GREEN]

I agree....that team was honestly one of the best in knicks history. I take them over the one that made it to the finals against the rockets and the ones in the early 80's. If only sprewell and camby and the rest had came in mid 90's.

[koberulz]

That's good news. Brown is ultra defensive coach who doesn't have a clue about good basketball

explain how good basketball works without defense then.

[Andrew]

Knicks say Brown violated policy with roadside interviews

It still seems a bit petty considering how they were stringing him along and expecting him to conduct workouts and whatnot without giving him any kind of assurance he'd be around come the Draft, let alone next season.

[Its_asdf]

Brown is proven to turn teams around after a season or two, so I don't understand why they didn't have the patience to keep him for a little while longer, let alone bring in Isiah fucking Thomas....

Hell, if I were Brown I'd be happy to leave that shithole.

[Amphatoast]

i guess this is both a good and bad move
Brown needs a couple years to do his magic and they only gave him 1.


It's good however, because if isiah is the problem like so many are convinced at, then this is his deathrole right here. Coach the shit you brought in, or be flushed down the toilet with the shit you brought.

i wouldn't say "..in the history of sports" but i agree about the expectations of Brown. Other then the Pistons, Brown coached teams showed improvements in the 2nd year of his tenure

as for the best NYK team.. outside from the last one that won the title.. those teams in the 90's that lost to the Bulls year in, year out would have mopped the floor with the '99 team. just my opinion

[beau_boy04]

the reason why he fired Brown and took over is because he doesn't want the Bulls to ended up with Greg Oden

[ataman5]

ı think isiahs being the head coach could be good for knicks cause players could play for issiah thomas. as brown was a coach who always argue with his players on the other hand issiah can make a positive effect on players.

[Jeffx]

I'm praying the Knicks go into the tank, so Dolan will finally dump Isiah's b!tch ass. Did you cats hear Dolan's press conference yesterday? Pathetic. This Dolan-Thomas regime is a f-n joke.
