Draft Pick

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MrJ:</div><div class="quote_post">6.5 points on average never equates to 80% blowouts.</div>

hey well i dont have %'s on the number of blowouts they've had, but i think you read to much into the 6.5 number. 6.5 might sound close but its not, and thats becuase the number is decieving. Alot of times its worse than that and then the Knicks score a couple easy one's vs the other teams garbage time crew and that makes it 8 point's down or something like that. I dont know the numbers...there's to many variables to look it up, however i'm sure if you could do a calculation on it the Knicks have played more games where they never really threatened their opposition than every team in the NBA. The players come into the game asleep and by the time half comes around they've given up.

Thats not the coach in my mind...thats the players.

Well, I can say the Knicks played some close games, but needed to foul at the end and free throws inflated the score. It's a two-way street, really. And the players don't come to the game asleep. They usually are unable to hit shots for many reasons:
A) Many are fastbreak players and the Knicks don't run.

Marbury has been injured a lot and gives a lot of players open looks
C) Players lack confidence because of Brown's bashing
D) They run very little plays for anyone other than Eddy Curry

<div class="quote_poster">Quoting MrJ:</div><div class="quote_post">The plan was to obviously make the playoffs with Brown around. I think we definitely had a legit shot if:

a)Curry came to camp healthy and in shape

Larry Brown coached well

Hopefully Carmelo Anthony and Tim Duncan suffer from injuries this season.

Even if they planned to make the playoffs.....whats the harm in protecting it. The bulls were looking to get rid of curry anyway, i doubt they would have put up a huge fuss. The bulls raped them on that deal.

Yeah, that's why no one understands it.

Isiah brought a buch of guys who were always offensive minded players, players who don't execute normal plays, players who like to play on one on one situations, indiviually.

Thats why the turnover to assist ratio is the worst in the NBA.

The blame simply goes to Dolan and Isiah.

Has Larry Brown done a bad job?

No question, he's been terrible to adapting to his players, adapting to their styles and working with them.

Larry Brown has been immature and stubborn the whole season, blasting out his guys in the media.

Thats not a good mix, Isiah should of seen it from the start of the season.

Our talent is overrated, I wouldn't mind if Isiah and Brown resigned, Dolan comitted suicide, and a new president/GM comes in, and trades everyone, and starts from a clean slate of new players and faces.

I'm really sick of the players faces on this team except for Lee, Fyre, and suddenly Richardson, who's been the leader of this all season, showing toughness on defense.

I'm just looking foward to Richardson getting back to 40% FG and 38% 3pt....and atleast double digits, thats my guy now.
