Every NBA team LB left he left in good shape except the knicks why, could it be Isiah wanted the limelight of turning the team around which was LB plan all along.

Everybody knew LB philosophy, even James Dolan himself was quick to remind reporters that Brown's teams usually struggle in Year 1 but ALWAYS become WINNERS.


The team was better than 23 wins last yr so isiah the slick fox that he is, had only to prove to that imbecile Boss and owner James Dolan that he could do better than LB 23 win total (exploitation).

This is what the koolaid guzzlers never wanted to see.

PHILLY IS CURRENTLY ON A 7 GAME WINNING STREAK BY THE WAY, Mo Cheeks is doing it the right way(TEAMBALL) and LB is sitting up on high looking down making sure the rightway blueprint is being used.

Let's look now and see what the sixers are doing.

They are currently THE HOTTEST TEAM IN THE NBA on a 7 GAME WINNING STREAK.

Sound familiar when Brown lead the knicks for a 6 game streak.

Under isiah we can't win more that 3 in a row hmmm..... some things never change.

not possible ??

LOL, these guy is rambling about Larry Brown calling others kool-aid drinkers.....

Shouldn't the sixers stink this year and turn into a butterfly next year, I thought that was the blueprint????ROFL

So, IT planned the whole thing? That's funny. Reality check. LB got fired because he was a cancer and his players did not want to play for him. They did not trust him and by the end of the season, did not respect him. He had to go, whether that was going to make IT look good or bad. Philly is winning now because they have a PG that gets everyone involved and they are playing better team basketball. The fact that LB is there has little to do with it other than maybe Cheeks is coaching harder because he knows LB will stab him in the back and take his job like he tried to do here. So if that is your premise, I agree Brown has had a positive affect on Philly.

I think you are right! The whole team including AI are playing better because they are trying not to get packaged for Eric Snow, Theo Ratliff, Vern Fleming and Derek McKey, when LB tries to bring in "His type of players"!

oohah

iverson and webber both got dumped AFTER lb got there.

the trade for andre miller happened AFTER lb got there. but of course, two old pals like karl and lb didn't say one word to each other when it came down to that deal tho.

Actually DJ you are wrong. Philly traded Iverson weeks before Brown was hired (which brought in Miller) and Webber was bought out only a few days after brown was hired, so he had nothing to do with those actions.

you mean the official hiring or the times lb was seen with king at the arena b/c that's been going on all year long.

And- he might have been on the phone with King many times before anyone ever started to infer from his presence that he was involved.

LB, I'm sure, reinforced what the sixers felt- that it was time to move on without AI and webber.

Guys in philly are auditioning for spots, they are also playing freely with no pressure, no one expects them to win anything, this is easy to do.

So is this is how the knicks will play after the Dolan extension of Isiah's contract..loose and free knowing he isn't going anywhere ?

TFK im suprised that you don't understand guys play harder when they know they can actually play a significant role offensively.

look at philly and atlanta as you examples

They don't mind playing a little help defense, knowing when they go down on the other end they can actually have a chance at shooting the ball for a change.


LB was giving philly advice on AI before he officially came aboard that is well known .

No you miss the point. this goes back to what some people were saying about some of the knicks playing better at the end of the season when they are out of the picture and the games dont' count, they said that about jamal and curry. They play better when the games don't count. So this same thing applies here, korver, Iguodala,Dalembert, Miller, are playing free and loose, they are playing with house money...

The knick are not, even with IT getting the extension, they after moving into the 8th seed are expected to secure a playoff spot, believe me, the garden fans and their parade of boos, will hold them accountable of that...

All of this speculation is somewhat silly. LB was fired because he came in and tried to remove Isiah, did a bad job of coaching, and wouldn't shut his mouth... End of story...

a true knick fan has spoken......listen up !

Joe Johnson goes down and Atlanta is playing some of its best ball, I guess they don't need JJ and Billy night is a genius for having batista(johnson's teamate) kick him in the shin so he could possibly miss the rest of the season. right? geez

Really...Guys are playing freely, is that what all losing teams do, because that has never been the case with NY, and believe me, they had every chance the last 3 seasons to play freely after febuary.
