Yeah, you're not biased by your hatred for Larry Brown... nope; not at all... :rolleyes:

How do you spin the Lakers having a big scoring night into the Knicks quitting on Larry Brown?


And, by the way, the Lakers are that much better; they're still not very good, but the difference between the Lakers and the Knicks is about as significant as the difference between the Pistons and the Lakers.

Then again they did lose by 20+ the other night to Atlanta I think and Larry did accuse them of quiting.

so who on the Lakers scored the other 49 points? ;)

6 players in double figures...including the young rook who dunked on Shaq...going 7-7, though admitedly vs. the scrubs. ;)

As usual you misinterpret my posts and read into them what you wish.



LB said it.


This is as much IT's fault as anyone's. Nobody could have gotten anything out of this squad.




Perhaps the scarcasim is lost on you. :cool:
 
jacobdrj, I didn't misread anything in your post; in fact, I took the question that you asked in the OP at face value, and answered it as such. As for the rest of my comments, you are known to be anti-Larry Brown, and you are also known to let that opinion influence your posts where he is concerned. I am quite aware that Coach Brown made the statement that he thought his team was quitting on him after the Atlanta game, but I also find it difficult to believe that you weren't chomping at the bit to throw those words "back in his face," so to speak.

After reading your posts for the past year and change here, I never presume that anything negative that you have to say about Larry Brown is sarcasm. And, for the record, sarcasm is rarely "lost" on me; whether I find as witty as the person posting it is neither here nor there.

Or are the Lakers just that much better?

The Lakers tend to lose to teams like NY.

I dunno if they quit on him, but he got himself ejected rather than to watch the rest of that. Bynum scored 16 quick points on em, even. I was reading the game thread at the Knicks forum at RealGM. They're quite disgusted with the team, needless to say.
 
The Knicks will be alright, there are still plenty of huge contracts out there just begging to be acquired. Too bad they didn't swallow their rebuilding pill when they should have.
 
I know after the Philly game LB was pissed and accused the players of not making an affort. I'm sure after losing by 19 to the Hawks it got uglier then the lakers killed them. I like larry but he's got his hands full in NYC.
 
DOn't feel sorry for LB. He said coaching the Knicks was his dream job, except it's turning into a nightmare pretty quick.
 
NY Daily News - As Larry Brown turned left at Woody Allen's seat and accelerated past Isiah Thomas and Magic Johnson in the tunnel, one Knick turned to his teammates and announced: "Now we can start playing ball."

Inside the locker room, where confusion and frustration reign, the players are fed up with Brown beating them down privately and publicly, according to several team sources. Following Monday's loss to Atlanta, Brown accused the players of quitting. Two days earlier, he was highly critical of Eddy Curry's performance in a loss to Philadelphia.

LOL at that announcement by a Knick
 
Larry's up to his same garbage again. But I'm not sure he's going to win this round. The whole organization is a complete mess, and Larry's particular brand of slime is only making things worse. Just constantrly running his mouth, trashing his players, playing mind games. Meanwhile you have Zeke the Molester as a GM wiping away any hope for the future, and a bunch of Zeke me-first proteges suiting up in $120mil worth of Knicks unis for the 4th or 5th worst record in the league. Good times. desperately need a housecleaning. Like basically the whole lot of them. GM, coach, players. Sell them all off to a warlord in Zaire + keep only the right to use the name "Knicks" in New York.
 
I never thought much about Larry "Next Town" Brown (thank you Vecsey). I'll write myself off as biased and assume that he's now just losing it, though. I think it says something that Cleveland hired Danny Ferry, the guy that ruined Cleveland's chances to compete in the 90s by being a flop (they traded Ron Harper, a veritable mini-Jordan at the time, for him), to GM instead of Brown.

It's never okay to quit, but I can see Brown's part in it. He did a better job at Davidson than he's done here. His random starting lineups, his casting off of Matt Barnes after praising him, etc., all look bad.
 
I blame Brown for what happened in the Olympics. It wasn't a three year process, where you get to weed out the good and the bad, you only get one shot at it, and he flubbed it.

This Knicks’ team is looking more and more like a poor mans ‘04 US Men’s Olympic Basketball team, yet more expensive.
