and the Blazers needed it more than we did!

the Knicks play well at home usually.

Man I love TT!
KVH tries hard but he is what he is. Tim Thomas has all the skills in the world he just simply needed a reason to play hard and care. Playing in New York as opposed to Milwalkee were he felt underappreciated makes a HUGE difference. Next year he will average18-20pts. Mark my words!

And now I know what Isiah is trying to do with this team. Demarr, TT, & Nazr!! I thought Demarr was done after the injury but I was dead wrong. Look for Demarr to be our next shooting guard since Isiah already told him to not make any plans this summer!

I wonder if FWill would come off the IR if Houston is hurting so much. Like to see if the guy is still interested in bball this year.

I have to admit I've not been following the Frank situation. Why is he still on the IR?

Why would him being "interested" be of concern? If he's physically able to play, they should play him.

Death of his mom. Frank admitted that he didn't know if he could come back and play this year.

That's ridiculous. What, he's too fragile to get back to his job, where he's paid millions of dollars, because his mom died? What is he, 12 years old?

Good grief, what a sissy.

Everyone dies. It feels bad, you grieve, then you get back to your life. If he can't get over it, he needs psychiatric attention.

Before my father died, very quickly from pancreatic cancer I might add, I was fortunate my employers allowed me to take a week to see him in his final lucid days. I wish I could have been there at his deathbed, but I had to fly to New York and get back to work. The rest of family was there, which was good, even though he was on morphine and totally out of it. He died, I went to the funeral, I flew back to NYC, and went back to my job. Sure it's painful, but that's what life is, pain and suffering interspersed with some nice moments, then you kick the bucket.

I seriously think he has emotional problems if what you're saying is true, martin. A grown man who won't do his job after his mother's death. What about all the other athletes who experience deaths in their families during the season? They grieve, then they get back to work. Why does Frank think he is so special that he can't get with it? Imagine if everyone stopped doing their jobs because of a loved one's death? Society would grind to a halt. That really burns me up, hearing that kind of thing.

No wonder he gets benched all the time, it sounds like he's soft.

your words are harsh man, but I agree with you.

I think that view is a bit too harsh and insensitive. There could be all sorts of things going on. He has 9 siblings and they're all probably looking at him for leadership.

As they say, family comes first.

Def and Reb: good post, it sounds harsh but it is fair. I lost my mother in 2001, that nearly broke me down man because we were so close, but I realized I had a career, 1 kid at the time and a wife, life had to go on, I always mourn the death of my mother but I take what she gave me, and use that as motivation to take care of myself and family, and this is what Frankie has to do. He is in a very unique positon to play professional sports, make millions and provide his family with tremendous opportunities that most working class americans don't have.. I hope he realizes that and gets it together...
