Only Walt, others needs the CASH, have to be politically correct
Totally off topic (The picture of Clyde got me thinking) how amazing are the knicks broadcasters? Breen (as you can tell I am a HUGE fan), Walt, Gus Johnson. Two great play-by-play and the best color man in the business. I do, though, hate Kelly Trabuka (spelling?)
Walt is # one in my book, just for the big picture, not actual color or any play by play.
My thoughts (which are useless) are that D'Antoni screwed us out of the playoffs this year, worse yet, he screwed the Knicks of three players he is going to need if they sign two money is #1 objective and play in New York.
Lee is just going to try to no injure himself, he already proved the Knicks wrong in giving him only a one year. He does not seem as happy here and somebody is going to offer big $$$. Two to tier players and Lee? Knicks can't swing that and fill two more positions. Duhon will probably be back as the starter (just kidding, I hope).
His treatment of Marbury, Curry, Robinson, Hughes, Harrington, etc. All these guys were history anyway, why get all the press with the big story on Robinson, your benching a good player and taking losses (with Duhon) in an effort to show your the boss. That is high school crap. You get that shit over in the preseason, not a month of the season when you should play to win.
Lebron does not fit the mold, Cleveland is going to take care of him and he is already the face of the NBA with Kobe. Anymore press, I am tired of seeing him now. Watch a game, they televise Lebron on the bench than show the game in progress.
Walt is the only one that called this during the season, numerous times saying he would do this, or that (most was getting the bench players playing time, over and over). I remember D'Ant played every single player but Hughes on a blowout win and Walt said, if you want the playoffs, you should get everyone some minutes. The month pine benching was questioned by Walt does it smooth, but not afraid to challenge anyone in the organization because no one F's with Walt. The great picture of Walt in the big hat and basketball says it all.
MJ is now a wild card in this off season, how many players are going to want to play for Jordan? I think many, cause they know he does not like to loose and has a great coach already with Brown. Hughes will be there next week, since he started with MJ at Washington and Brown drafted him out as 76's first pick 12 years ago. Would love to see Hughes and Robinson play New York this year "live". You would see a lot not televised. Looks, fingers, stares, etc. Jordan is going to want that playoff spot now and so does Brown. D'Ant threw in the towel, and him and Walshy did a shell game with the fans focusing on this summer. Wow, Knicks season over? Not what my schedule shows? Now the season is supposed to be fun and the Knicks gave up. How would you like to be a season ticket holder and your coach and GM so obviously blew a chance for playoff games? Plus tried to sell T-Mac as trying to still give a shit for this year, what a poor con job. 7 games on the court this year and he is supposed to lead the Knicks to the playoffs, ya right. Now Duhon is benched, why, he played the same crap all year. Hell, I felt like I need a Direct T.V. 15% refund. Still will enjoy other games like Denver @ LA tomorrow. The playoffs are fantastic, players play as a team and play with everything they got, hence the upsets.
and we were also paying Luc Longley's salary.
