play calling? come on man, that's just ridiculous. of course not.

but every gm influences coaches from time to time on who should play. that's nothing new. that's why some people get showcased. that's why guys like sweetney was on IR b/c of spoon. it's always worked that way. i don't think isiah is like, "play mo taylor or else" but isiah could be like "hey man, give mo some primetime minutes so we can try to trade him". or "hey larry, i just gave up 2 unprotected #1's for eddy, you gotta keep starting him." stuff like that goes on all the time.

We are not talking about all the time, in the past, or other teams, we are talking about on the New York Knicks, 05-06 season LB and Isiah.

Do you honestly think Isiah said any of that to LB?

You are telling me the guy who had the balls call Isiah out in the press by saying he put together a flawed roster is now cowering to Isiah's request to play certain players....Wow, now I have heard it all....

that isiah asked lb to play certain players throughout the course of the season? sure.

i'm not sure what you're getting at tho...

Seriously, your efforts to defend Larry Clown is now bordering maniacal zealotry...

I voted "yes" because Isiah has implanted a device in Larry Brown's brain which he uses to control the coach.

When he wants Larry to make a particular decision, he sends a radio signal to that device using a controller that he holds as he watches from the stands.

The device has several menu options on its handsome LCD. Here are a few that I know about:

• Run a last minute play for Maurice Taylor
• Put Nate on the Inactive List
• Don't play David Lee

The device can also be used when Larry has a press conference:

• Make a random derogatory remark about _______.

The device is somewhat programmable to remember often used options, so Isiah can call up that menu option with the name "Stephon Marbury" at the press of a button.

He can also use the device to cause Larry to make specific requests of Isiah:

• Request that Isiah trade for some specified inappropriate player

Of course, Larry does have a free will and does try to disobey his puppetmaster from time to time. In this case, Isiah has a couple of options for punishing Larry:

• Cause Larry to urinate uncontrollably
• Cause Larry to experience excruciating Acid Reflux symptoms.

In Summary, Isiah is in complete and utter control of Larry Brown, which is why this season was such a disgrace.

That was too funny. I am trying to take a break from posting, as many here should, but that was hilarious.

Isiah should be fired and re hired as the Knicks head of college scouting, b/c he's proven that's all he's good at doing, besides actually playing bball.
