Isiah Getting Frustrated With L.B.'s Comments About Players

[Mr. J]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">Isiah Thomas and Larry Brown have been communicating regularly on the state of the team and on potential trades. They speak on the phone virtually every day and they chat amiably at the Knicks' practice facility. Both are also expert at putting a public smile.

But word is that Thomas is fed up with Brown's rip jobs of his players and is frustrated that Brown never seems happy with any of them. It is a sentiment shared by many people in the organization.</div>

let me tell you that this knicks team is in jeopardy. they should just pretty much start out from scatch and build around frye, lee, and nate. but obviously they wont because isiah is their gm

The fact Isiah is surprised by this just shows how unaware he is with what he's doing. Larry Brown has complained his entire career. It's his way of breaking you down mentally and then building you back up after you've cracked.

If these players can't take criticism, how are they going to handle the pressures of the NBA? LB doesn't want weak minded pre-madonnas around, because he is here to win titles. Weak minded players don't win titles and right now the Knicks are loaded with those types.
