... or, as in the case of the Chritian Red piece, to immediately presume some relationship between player harmony/performance and such a tragic loss, just one day after the event, is self-serving, inappropriate and irrelevant.
New York sports writers are a sorry lot that is living on the reputations of former journalists who actually knew what they were doing
there are few exceptions
Yet you are the one who keeps referencing the brawl as a catalyst for improvement.
Here, it's actually you who is trying to create scandal where there is none. For instance, you post and reference the Christian Red piece and say:
HEADLINE: "Knick players feel Don Marbury's death can lead to team unity"
(nowhere, NOWHERE did any Knicks player say that)But right in the article we see this:
"This year's been up and down for us, but this just makes our team tighter. Everybody's got to come together," Randolph said. And I'd say it's pretty good odds that if someone wrote that they expected the loss of Don Marbury to send the team into a downward spiral you'd counter that, like vultures, they're feasting on despair and the loss could pull them together.
Me thinks you're just stirring the pot with no real purpose but to complain about everybody but the Knicks.
