hey, you know what's weird - Coach K is using Lebron, Wade and Melo in international competition and the US is blowing out Puerto Rico. I bet Brown wishes he had those players in 2004. oh, wait, he did.

Yeah{sarcasm}. And yet another team that Stephon left and it has improved in his abscence{no sarcasm}.

Oooh... LOL. You beat me to it.

i still say the Knicks need to fire Don Chaney & hire someone reputable & has some clout in this league... someone like a Lenny Wilkens.

Lenny is senile, it's time for him to go. Anybody is better than him. I would take Donald Duck

You guys can argue all you want but the bottom line is this. We hired the worst coach in the NBA last year. All his accomplishments were a result of luck. Now he is gone. Now everything is fine.

hey, if Larry hates Marbury so much, why didn't he use Dwyane Wade, Lebron James, Carmelo Anthony and a healthy Amare? because he's an idiot who is set in his ways?

OMG! LOL! SARCASM TAGSA!!!!!1

The bottom line is LB is gone now, everything is great with our Knicks.

It's easy to get sucked in. Now stop responding to me you moron

-Clearly a joke

I have such a hard time understanding why we can't focus on fixing what is wrong with the Knicks. Every offseason it's the same topics we discuss just different names. Five years and everyone keeps searching for the ONE PERSON to blame. It's surreal.

Well my eyes have been opened. We finally got the guy. And now everything in NY is great.

I think it's all those things you mentioned that led to 23 wins instead of 45.

The geezer is now nothing buy a complainer and a snake. He is not loyal and he has no respect for his players on any level. He probably was always like that but it came out more after he left Philly.

doesn't this directly contradict what the players in Philly and Detroit were saying about Brown?

Brown & team had a bad year in NY and things didn't mesh. Did Brown agitate things? Sure. Did some of the players? Sure.

Could we not say the same things about some of the players on the NY Knicks as you have with Brown?

It doesn't contradict what the 04 Olympic team was sayng about him however...

the whole team or just some of the players? LB is old school and maybe teams and guys that understand it and grit it out will come through OK. Weaker or under-matured personalities are not so good with this type of coach, and that's understandable.

How about this scenario? If the Knicks won 45 last year with the same yelling, lineup switching, mean spirited, to-the-press blabbing coach, would we all say the same things? Is it the personality we are talking about or the 23 wins everyone is upset with?

Couldn't play for the man. Unless I had to since his team drafted me. College? Not going there if he recruited me. He wants to be the show. Would have to deal with it in the pros, not in college.

My signature says it all I think.

Personally I work for an agency that thinks the workers don't do anything and I have to deal with people hiding behind walls for me to run my eyes so they can suspend me for not wearing saftey glasses. I work for a company that had a 600 plus million dollar surplus that refused to give any of that to its workers. Then the come around just a few months later reporting a 200 million dollar surplus. But still want to raise the train fair. I work for a company that will suspend you 30 days over a customer complaint no questions asked, try if you get hurt or assaulted on the job they put you through the bs and will get a little to no compensation to show for it.

I still have to go to work and do my best and give them my heart and soul. Is this job making me a real man? Or a better man? Do I want to work for them because the abuse is actually good for me? Nope I do it cuz I'm broke and I need the money.

These NBA teams are not real world stuff. No one can say brown was trying to make these guys better men. That is the dumbest thing I ever heard. Most of These guys are already fathers and are grown people.

Brown did a terrible job of working with what he had. That's it. The players have up on him. Yes they can do that and they have every right. Coaches get Fired all the time even when they win. These mofos are all rich. Brown can care less cuz the dude is already rich even before the knicks 50 mill deal.

You guys like to talk all the mumbo jumbo. These guys are rich. American kings and queens. Aside from that no coach or supervisor for that matter is gonna have much of an effect on the development of a person other that on job stuff, unless there is a personal relationship going on. That is usually a rare occurance.

Talk about the game and get a grip on reality. Larry brown is gone and good ridence!

On a personal note, you do realize the international game s totally different than the NBA game, right?
http://www.usabasketball.com/rules/rules.html

Perhaps, just maybe, they had a hard time adjusing in the week they needed to before playing. I mean if hard working, vets like Duncan, Iverson, Marion, etc., couldn't grasp the what makes you think it was so easy for rookies to do it?

At the time the ONLY player who would have fit the international stage well was Lebron. Wade was a piss-poor outside shooter (the international game stresses outside shooting), Carmelo was a one dimensional scorer, international play also stresses passing. Amare-a BEAST down low in the NBA-was a pure power post player in a tournament that stressed running in transition-which he can do with Nash running the point. With Steph and Iverson, that may present a problem- and a more perimeter based game.
