Larry Brown Winless!!

What do you think about Larry Browns Start To The Season?

by **Fresh8** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 9:26 am

It's a bit early since the Knicks are only 3 games into the season but a surprise nonetheless...

by **Blokeman** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 11:29 am

i thought they would have a couple of wins in the bag already!!

by **j.23** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 11:39 am

personally i'm happy. i hate larry brown and i hate the knicks.

by **Its_asdf** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 11:55 am

Larry Brown isn't known for coaching young guys so I think this is expected.

by **saggy** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 11:58 am

Its definitelyy a suprise especially with the additions o quentin richardson and eddy curry, guess their just not playing the right way.

by **Matt** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 12:30 pm

i'm surprised Larry's playing 11,12 guys a game.

by **kinokong** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 1:02 pm

i guess he just needs to figure out a good lineup... but seriously they need to do something about their logjams.... just wondering i wonder how the knicks would turn out if rob babcock took over this team...?

The players still need to get used to his syle of play. Larry concentrates on defence the most, and the guys arent used to playing hard, team defence like larry wants them to.

I hate you!

Umm nah I don't know you, but why do you hate him and the Knicks?

And Brown seems to be to be playing the wrong guys. The rookies should get more minutes. Suprise to me.

Haha, you're kidding about that being a surprise right?

by **Emiliano** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 1:58 pm

I actually think this was expected. Not because I hate the Knicks or Larry but because they got such a young team. Very young. A great coach won't just come in and turn things around when most of your players are not even in their high 20's.

by **Blokeman** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 2:45 pm

they do have lots of young kids!!!
it is a surprise to me!!

by **Strike Freedom** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 6:32 pm

maybe Marbury is the problem.. just like Iverson.. :lol:

by **Matt** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 8:17 pm

iverson got brown to the finals......

by **Blokeman** on Mon Nov 07, 2005 8:38 pm

yer it could be marbury but i think that its just because they guys havn't gelled together after that trade between the Knicks and Bulls.

by **TheFranchiseKing** on Tue Nov 08, 2005 7:45 am

Where is that Jeffx (or something close to that) dude. Is he in hiding already. HA. Kidding man. They have a shitty roster enough said. They have a bunch of punks on that team. They need to trade Marbury.

by **Jeffx** on Tue Nov 08, 2005 9:06 am

Not surprised at all - just look at the roster. These aren't Brown's type of players. Brown has said he was expecting to have Sweetney, Kurt Thomas & Tim Thomas to start the season. Talk about a rude awakening!

I was the Garden for the last preseason game, and I told my homies, get ready for a long season.

Not trying to be vicious, but whose heart will give out first - Brown's or Curry's?

by **air gordon** on Tue Nov 08, 2005 9:10 am

that's cold, jeffx hehe

neither. they both are getting handsomely paid so life won't be so bad if nyk continues to lose

by **maes** on Tue Nov 08, 2005 9:15 am

So not surprised, Brown gets pissy if he doesn't already have stars on his team to do his bidding, he's not a coach that turns potential into stars, just ask Dumars and the Detroit bench.

I think the conversation about Curry with Zeke was telling. Brown complaining that Curry doesn't rebound, can't defend, doesn't pass well...Zeke replies with that's why the hell we hired you as COACH.

by **air gordon** on Tue Nov 08, 2005 9:25 am

mckie, snow, and ratliff had their best years under brown

billups is one of the best clutch player, became one of the better pg's in the league, and is possibly the best player in the nba not to make the all star team. all of his happened with brown

by **cyanide** on Tue Nov 08, 2005 10:44 am

Not surprised. He gets the money, inherited last year's bad team, and he needs to adjust. The Knicks might do better later on, but still too early to say now.

I'd tell Isiah why'd you saddle me with underachievers? Be a real GM and get me cats who know how to play. Have you forgotten how your Bad Boy Pistons won those titles? Hard-nosed defense, rebounding plus smart offense. So why are you giving me a watered-down version of the Phoenix Suns? And what the hell did you see in Jamal Crawford?

by **J-Smoove** on Tue Nov 08, 2005 1:35 pm

brown is an overachiever-maker. surprised he's winless, but not because of the sub-500 record, that's for sure.

the day we see starbury on a winning team is slippin away

He had his chance in Minnesota. He could have done wonderful things with KG. But he had to be a big baby, and now look at his career.
