wow he was fired? I thought byron was a great coach, he couldve kept his oppinions bout spree silent last year, but other than thought i thought he did everything right. Well I guess when kidd made that comment this summer bout he would only sign if byron was gone, it gave u a hint that it was either kidd or byron to go, and it sure as hell wasnt gonna b kidd.
I'd have to say this will only help us win the atlantic. I'd love to see him hired as an assistant coach for ny.

holly crap, that is just the sorriest thing when a guy that brought you to two straight finals gets fired. there were too many injuries on that team and the lack of a legitemate go 2 guy hurt them. Kenyon(maybe) kidd(maybe) richard(not quite) i didn't think that the nets are as good or have a good team as they have been in the past couple of years. i loved byron as a coach but the fact is, the players didn't feel like playing for him anymore. so maybe he had to go.
oh, definately, this will help the knicks. the nets can't afford to loose anymore games because the celtics and the knicks are just a couple of games behind them, but the fact that their coach got fired will hopefully lead to a loosing start for the new coach. knicks should win every game possible and i think the nets will stumble. (hopefully lol )

And you telling me we can't get out of the first round with the Vets on this team. If you want games to count Lenny cant sit H20 and KVH while giving time off for good behavior and expect NY to win.

does anyone else think a clause in Jason Kidd's contract just kicked in? Something like:

iii. Pursuant to Atlantic division standing (section 57 part C), Eastern conference ranking (section 57 part D) and the finalization of Team sale, crappy (endnote 23) coach will be fired.

iv. Signee will have 2 of 5 votes in final decision for next coach.

(...)

Ian Eagle is an idiot. He just said on wfan that no other team in the Atlantic Div. will reach 40 wins and the Knicks will have to win 25 of 32 games to pass the Nets. hahahahaha thats ridiculous!! How are they gonna go 25-7 lol It would take far less to pass the Nets. Apparently Ian still thinks his Nets team is the best team in the East. What an idiot that guy is. He's so freakin annoying as a broadcaster.

I tell you what Lenny Wilkens shouldn't be far behind if the knicks go on a losing streak. This guy knew allan was hurt and didn't tell marbury to score more. And he knows now that Frank has to be the pg when he and steph are on the court at the same time, the offense runs smoother that way.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.

i really don't care for what ian says but i really like the way kelly tripuca calls their games, when i watch them sometimes. he's a pretty good commentator for a former player imo, same for walt.

Ok playa. Lets fire Wilkens and Zeke and bring back Layden and Chaney so that they can ruin everything good that has been done.

Silver let's just say I stick by my guns, I didn't like the lenny hiring by Zeke I would have preferred John Thompson and it didn't mean I want chaney or Layden back. Now before you guys get silly, I'm not saying that lenny can't coach anymore just not the NYK. I wanted a PF in here pg come a dime a dozen, low post threats are hard to come by, matter of fact we already have a pg Frank Williams and all Zeke had to do was hold is horses and sent Dice (character guy) and others to Portland since they are gonna lose SHEED any way.

This has to be a record season for coaching changes. Just goes to show that wining is not everything. There are similar events, both Chaney and Scott had blowout games, that may have been a deciding factor for dismissal. The ESPN article is interesting in that Scott's replacement has a Van Gundy-like coaching style.
