This is retarded...
What is there to debate? A 23-59 record means that something clearly went wrong. The person charged with making the Knicks better was Larry Brown, and oh, by the way, they paid him $50 million dollars to do it. Thank you for making us 10 games worse. This is like drafting Sam Bowie number 2 overall, and oh by the way, leaving Michael Jordan on the board.
Explain these things to me Mr. Larry "All World Coach" Brown:
Why did Channing Frye get so little playing time in the second half?
Why did David Lee get so little playing time period?
Why did you approve the Steve Francis trade and then criticize it?
Why is it that a 20-point 8-assist point guard is your venom catchers mitt?
Why is it that 46 year old Antonio Davis is your savior? Did he ever average 20 and 8 of anything? And if he is the example for all to follow maybe you should tell him to stay out of the stands, and also tell him to tell his wife to stop badgering people.
Under what circumstances is Nate Robinson a better player or point guard than Stephon Marbury?
What kind of example are you trying to set by criticizing Trevor Ariza, of all people, in the media?
Oh...and defense wins championships? These are not the handchecking days... so let's re-evaluate..
2006 Playoff teams
Western Conference:
Lakers - great defensive team? Dont think so..
Clippers - we are talking about the Clippers here....
Grizzlies - Another team that cannot be confused as being "great" defensively
Spurs - maybe in past years... but couldnt seem to stop Dallas at any point in their series
Suns - ha! ha! Phoenix, a great defensive team? How funny is that
Mavericks - Another team that would not be confused with the 2005 Pistons
Nuggets - if you cant stop the Clippers how good defensively can you possibly be?
Kings - notoriously poor defensively so whats new this year? Nothing - but Artest is a beast
Eastern Conference:
Nets - lol...funny... Nets, great defensively
Pistons - The only team that can be considered defensively superior
Cavaliers - name one good defensively player on this team? Oh wait, Larry Hughes...well...thats one....lol
Pacers - No Artest, no D
Bulls - Tyson Chandler is really scary defensively
Bucks - come come now...
Wizards - Those shootouts with the Cavs were great werent they?
Heat - They are decent, but hardly great.
Point being that the overwhelming majority of teams on this playoff list rely on OFFENSE. Stern wants the NBA to be entertaining again. Why do I get the feeling that Pat Riley will once again thrive in this environment? Showtime anyone?
