“I think their future is really bright. It’s one thing having young players, but they have a lot guys that I think are going to be really quality players in this league for a long time.”


what he says about Pierce:

Brown, meanwhile, had nothing but praise for Pierce and the Celts before tipoff.

“I always thought he was pretty good,” Brown saidwhen asked about Pierce’s improvement this season. “People forget he rebounds the ball, he gives it up. I think he always has done what he needed to do, what he’s been asked to do. I’ve watched him a lot this year and I think his total game has really improved, and it’s necessary with all the young people.

Danny Ainge really has done a masterful job of tearing down and rebuilding that team amidst a ton of early criticism.

2 straight play-off appearances, a division crown, and they are 3 out of the 8th spot with 10 games left to play.

The Wally Trade was just terrible no clue what he was doing on that one, but they have great young talent

West, Perkins, Jefferson, Gomes who looks like he is going to be very good, and Gerald Greene I think in a couple of years is a star, they need to trade Paul Pierce and just tank next season and let the young guys play.....

There is a big Market for Pierce right now he is playing very well

they've been playing their youth for the past 2 seasons now.

In a couple years the Atlantic and East will be up for grabs. Pierce has meshed with the youngsters and Ainge hasn't squandered away draft picks. The young guys will be experienced and Paul still in his prime. No need to trade him.

The wally trade opened up things more for pierce.

Sometimes its more the combonation of players than the players themselves.

That was a hell of a trade if it makes the team better.

Adding Marbs to KG and Rickey Buckets?

Why does brown go out of his way to do this it's mad annoying......He should get fired for that alone......I never seen anything like this in sports....

Yeah coaches complain but the Knicks are not the only losing team in NBA history.....You gotta encourage players....let guys play and teach them how to win....I don't think it has ever been that way all year.

If you have never heard about this then you are blind and/or deaf. "Kwame is a P*ussy".

Knicks haven't been this bad since just before Riles got to the team, and with the Internet and all of the other hyped media none of these quotes have been out there for you and I to see, hear, and read. It's also about the times. Do you think there were as many over-paid, over-hyped, teenaged, pre-madona's in the league? When, if every, could you earn $10+M in a league, have it guarenteed, and still dog it? I mean, come on!

The players still do play, right?

Now, would you feel any better if the coach didn't say a few choice phrases? What's the difference?

LOL, I guess it is a matter of two cities, when I was in Boston during December, all the talk was about trading Pierce, firing Rivers for sure and only giving Ainge another year. So it is hard to tell. I guess in Boston now, just making it doesn't count. I don't understand the trade Pierce talk. That Wally trade is right up there with the Francis trade. I personally don't even think that trade was about basketball at all..

The Wally trade was really a completely lateral nonimpactful trade. Each team is exactly where it was before the trade.

That is so wrong. The Wally trade was awesome for the Celctics. Wally is ALOT better then Ricky Dumb@ss Buckets. Wally scores more while shooting 50% and both guys are supposed to be one dimensinal scorers. AND I believe Boston unloaded a contract or two in that deal, didnt they get rid of that bum Blount?

The point is before the trade Minny was in playoff contention, and after the trade, they fell out of the picture and Boston has climbed into it.
A glimmer of hope maybe?!?

I wouldn't say that Boston has climbed anywhere. I think what's going on in Philly in my opinion is probably having the 2nd worst season for a NBA team. Where they were suppose to be and how they fallen like stone deserves its own thread. Another coach who in my opinion doesn't get enough blame. Mo is coming off a bad team, and converting a playoff team into a bad team. Doesn't bode well.

complaining about coaches began with the influx of isiah players. first lenny and now larry.

the players didn't complain about chaney, or van gundy, or riley, or pitino, or... (i purposefully left off macleod and stu b/c those years didn't really happen)

last time it happened was don nelson b/c he was trying to completely change a championship level team.

Perkins is a good pick up.

Gomes = great pickup.

Don't really like the Green pick, but hey, it was a steal that low.

Jeffersons supposed to be something special.


They have alotta good young players, plus a legit star in Pierce.

Ainge is better than Isiah, and that ain't sayin much.
DLee is the best thing to happen to NY in Isiah's 4 year tenure. And that alone, though a positive on the radar, is sad as hell.

Actually you left out the 99 Knicks. Spree and Camby both went public about their lack of playing time, JVG still loyal to Starks, Oakley and Houston. A trip to the finals help smooth out differences.
You also forgot to mention the issues that Riley had with Jackson and Campbell. Jackson kept it professional but Campbell confortations with Riley weren't carry like the Marbury/Brown fights because the Knicks were winning but Peter V. did a great job keeping readers informed about the fights. To try and put this on Marbury as something new is ridculous. Hell Ewing got Hubie out of here just as fast as possible.

They climbed all the way up to a dozen games below .500. I guess I was "so wrong" afterall. My bad!

I'm thinking that Boston will climb into next season improving nicely from within', and they will be a much improved team. How sad. When can the Knicks be like this?

People been saying that every season about the Celtics since Ainge arrived. I thought them and Philly would be decent. I see the Celtics in the same position next season, unless you tell me that one of the playoff teams this year will be worst. I don't see it though.
