While I think players watching tape of opposing players to get the upperhand is a good thing, I don't think this works in the NBA regular season. Just too many games and not enough time in between. The NFL is perfect for this in that you have a week to prepare. In the NBA, the players need to rely on team scouts and their scouting report to better prepare.

Now, the playoffs is a different story.

THey got guys to edit out what the coach wants them to see. Riley used to give each guy a tape and make sure all hotel rooms had VCR.

Phil Jax has inspirational clips of movies mixed in whith his tapes.

If we blast the media yet rely on them sole for our own bias we are only getting spoon feed what they want.

Im not saying how one can be a fan, but don't be spewing lots of regurgitated opinion unless you see the game.

Nalod - You are in a warpath today. May I suggest the Alba thread. I have posted new pics. Don't worry be horny.

Brown is a different type of coach...read.....Look for Lynch to be a Knicks very soon..

Two ways Brown reinforces that idea is to have the team watch only film of their own games instead of the opponents. That is not to say the Knicks won't know what's coming. Assistant coaches watch tape of the opposition and then brief the team at practice or the morning shootaround.

SPECIAL ADVISOR TO THE GM

Expect Brown to have a lot of say in whatever personnel moves Thomas makes. The two work well together and Brown has the credibility with Thomas to get his way. Isiah has built most of the team to this point. But from now on, it will be a collaborative effort.

TAR HEAL EFFECT

Brown never forgets his Carolina roots, and usually has a UNC product on the team somewhere. He doesn't have that yet, but he does have two assistants (Hanners and Ford) and visitors from Tar Heal country come through from time to time. He also may lobby to have the team relocate its training camp from Charleston, S.C., to Chapel Hill, N.C., one of these years.

Does Carolina ever produce a good PG? if so, is he still in the league?

These guys really sucked! None of them ever amounted to anything.

Larry miller: 7 yrs ABA, avg 13 pts.
Phil Ford
Frank McGuire:
Larry Brown: played 4 years in aba, avg almost 12 pts, allstar, olympian, retired with knee and became a head coach at age 32!
George Karl: Drafted by knicks in 1973, played in aba for 5 years. Knee problems.
Kenny Smith
Ray Felton
