Nothing New in Knickland

2006_04_sknickslogo.jpgLarry Brown has vowed to use the remaining games of the season to audition players for next year. With Jalen Rose and Stephon Marbury injured, Brown put Qyntel Woods and Jamal Crawford into the starting lineup and brought Steve Francis off the bench. While the Knicks managed to shoot over 50% the defense wasn’t there again and they lost 114-95.

After the game, Brown decided to once again use the press to criticize his players. Speaking of Robinson, Brown said, “He’s the farthest thing from a point guard right now.” While Brown is correct, Robinson is a shoot first, pass second player, what good does it do to tell that to the press? Brown’s repeated criticism of his players in the media isn’t helping the team and is also feeding the perception around the league that the Knicks are a mess. 19-53 is bad enough without having to constantly hear the coach snipe at his players and vice-versa.

Use the code STARKS to get a 25% discount on tickets originally priced at $60.50 and $44.50!

As a lifelong Knicks fan, I can't believe they're using the codeword STARKS for the discount!

Larry Brown has been a bum all year. He has not made the team better. In fact, he has made them worse.

So Larry's going to use the remaining games the same way he's used every game up 'till now... trying to figure out if anyone can play.

Blasphemy!!!!! How dare they denigrate the holy name of John Starks!

What a bunch of fucking bums - I take back all my prior posts about forcing the Dolans to sell the team; I call on all NY to hunt them down and skin them alive for the torture they force us to endure.

Jim Dolan should be ass-raped in macy's window and then burned at the stake in Times Square...
