The crowd also exercised more patience with Crawford than Thomas, who was unfairly booed when he entered the game and after he missed all of his shots.

"I could care less," Thomas said. "Like I keep telling you guys, I'm happy they're sitting in those seats. I play for myself first, then my teammates. After that I could care less."

hmm, ya think he could maybe play for the uniform he's wearing & the sense of pride he should feel to be a NY Knick? how about playing for the freakin' $25 million you're going to be paid over the next 2 years?

nah, he plays for himself & his teammates only...nothing else matters...thanks Tim...i always knew you had your priorities straight.

I think when you mention the $25mm thats what he meant by playing for himself.

I cant believe how solid he was end of last year and how bad he is now. Its pretty shocking. He was no star but he was very good for us in 20 pluss games last year.

this may be the worst dropoff of any player this season. if it was last year's tim thomas, we'd easily be a 20+ win team right now, running away with the division. he did all the right things in the offseason in terms of getting stronger and in shape.

"I could care less," Thomas said. "Like I keep telling you guys, I'm happy they're sitting in those seats. I play for myself first..."

I guess this quote shows that he has a problem with self-esteem.

i really don't care to know what tt meant by his words...when your team is struggling & you've been playing like CRAP all year long, the last 4 words i want to hear out of his mouth are "I could care less"..he damn well should care! he should care a great deal!

The funny thing is that he is truly the FUGAZY. for a player who doesn't do much boy can he run his mouth.
I'd rather die on my feet, than live on my knees!

Pike this is one of the reasons why they should stop giving young bucks 6 or 7 yr contracts unless it is with incentives to perform consistently.


When you look at guys like Trevor Ariza who hustles his butt off and only makes a couple dollars (NBA standards) and then you have guys like TT WHO HIT THE LOTTO with the "BIG CONTRACT" and sits back and scratches his behind and flick boogers on the fans for fun on the bench.

like Vince did when the situation wasnt to his liking in Tor?

To me the responsibility shouldnt be in the CBA, rather on the owners. You give a guy a contract your investing in him as a person. Whats even funnier about TT is Karl gave him that retarded deal. Then won 6th place with the "dream team" and got fired the next year. What a hoser

TT is a fugazy scrub from patterson nj who couldn't dictate a trade to save his life, VC is an Icon in the NBA and they call him "AIR CANADA"

You do the Math

isiah has to be extremely disappointed in tim thomas. the poor guy

not only does he play soft but everytime he runs his mouth he makes you want to hit him in it
