<div class="quote_poster">Quoting Duncanonu:</div><div class="quote_post">Looks like he knew more than you thought.</div> That doesn't mean he's ever known as much as he thinks he does. I give him credit on this one, but he's usually just awful. Totally sensationalist, totally out of his head.
Looks like Vecsey is getting him back: <div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">WHEN Byron Scott was continuously, catatonically propped up on the sidelines of the Continental Breakfast Arena, I benignly described him as "a tripod in a three-piece suit." Apparently, that assessment from this hack journalist wasn't exclusive. Lord Bye-Ron, you may recall, was jettisoned by Jersey just after the mid-point of the season before last. Not even the Nets' 101-63 regular-season record during the previous two — highlighted by a Final Frolic in 2003 — was enough to save Scott. Quite simply, his resume was no match for his reputation. Finally, after endlessly ignoring how harmful to his team's health his coach had become, Nets president Rod Thorn made his Dread Scott Decision in favor of no-experience Lawrence Frankincense who nearly went undefeated for the remainder of the season, that's how giddy Jason & The Argonauts were to see Bye-Ron beheaded. Scott, by all accounts, was (choose one): a) A lazy lump; Dangerously smug; c) Out-coached and simply out of it; d) Any combination thereof.</div> NY Post
