I noticed Steve Francis didn't start tonight and only has 10 minutes logged. I thought the idea was to have an explosive backcourt duo of Francis and Marbury?
larry brown is freakin stupid isiah brought francis for offensive go to guy and he not using him, wtf?? this is not the freakin allstar game larry, he should be fired
My problem with Larry is he tries to make everyone feel sorry for him. I just watched a five minute post game interview of self pity. Larry you brought this upon yourself you wanted the big bucks you wanted to coach your hometown New York Knicks remember you called it something like “your dream job”. Larry Brown knew the situation he was getting himself into when he took this job. Forgive me, but I find it hard to feel sorry for a guy making 10 million a year to coach one of the worst teams in basketball. He just threw his entire team under the bus without taking any personal responsibility in the post game interview tonight. Good job Larry...
Franchise came to the game late due to a family emergency. He is no doubt the best player on the team though. We gotta hope that for the future this duo works and gets us to the playoffs.

Brown really has no idea what he's doing. He says Francis will be a fulltime starter, but he came off the bench. He said he's going to play the rookies more because we're not going anywhere this season. He puts Nate on the IL and Lee barely plays. He says we're bad at defense, but at the time he had our best defender, Trevor Ariza, glued on the bench. He said we would have a set starting lineup 20 games into the season. There's still not a consistent starting lineup almost 60 games into the season. He also said we would have a set rotation 20 games into the season. There still isn't one. He said he needs to do a better job coaching. He still has not done that. I could go on, but I don't want to use my time like this.
Instead of just Isiah, I think H20 and the other Knicks' fans here should end all of their posts with, "By the way, I think Isiah Thomas and Larry Brown should be fired." Oh and that's a sick sig MrJ. I love it.
In my opnion what the Knicks need to do is go inside more often. I admit I've only watched the Knicks the three times they've played the Raptors this year, but it seems that Eddy Curry is often ignored for very long stretches of the game, even when he starts of well. Adding Steve Francis certainly won't help in that regard, and I am still puzzeled at why Larry doesn't demand Curry get a few more touches, especially after dubbing him the Knicks "franchise player". I saw Eddy a lot last year in Chicago, and he was very effective at wearing big men out and pounding inside when he got consistent touches (unless CB4 is covering him). O yeah by the way NY, enjoy Jalen Rose's 14 million next year!!

But Curry is not a great finisher and looks lost in the paint sometimes. Curry + Crawford ain't Shaq and Dwayne now is it?
