<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">The Garden boos don't hurt Tim Thomas. He's been through too much during a summer of family tragedy.
Within a span of three days in August, his sister, Amanda, died of a stroke, and his cousin perished in a motorcycle accident.
"Put this together, I had to go to two funerals within a weekend," Thomas told The Post before last night's 114-91 loss in Toronto. "I'm getting prepared for the season, running hills, and to have that happen within three days of each other, it was the worst blow ever for me."
A still-shaken Thomas is off to his worst start, shooting 31 percent, with every clanked shot greeted by boos at the Garden. Thomas said he's had trouble focusing on the court, but his brain is starting to clear, though he had another quiet four-point night in the 23-point loss. </div>
According to the NY Post Tim's horrible start in the season is due to some deaths in the family. I seriously think that there is more behind this story than what he said. I remember that he had this monster game in preseason vs. the Jazz. And now that the season starts he had monster slumps in just about every single game NYK has played. I think he should get out of here. Obviously he's not doing well. He might just need a change in scenery. No team will take him though. I hope I'm not sounding harsh or anything because I am aware of someone's death distracting focus but, untill he thinks he can regain focus maybe it's best for him and the rest of the team that he takes time off. He really has been detrimental to the club thus far and with him continuing performance like this will hurt us. Also I think he can be a gonner soon because of the boo's at the Garden. When you don't have you're own homecourt supporting you that's a sign you have got to go. What do you guys feel about it?
