THIS DIDN’T END WELL
11.30.07
There's not much I can say that isn't said in that screen grab (provided by The Basketball Jones). By the end of the third quarter, the Celtics' Big Three were already resting contentedly on the bench. The Knicks actually had to put together a rally to lose by less than 50 points. Today's Daily Dime is delightfully all over the Knicks' 104-59 Boston Massacre.
This seemed more like a game between the Harlem Globetrotters and the Washington Generals than an NBA contest. All that was missing was Garnett throwing a pail of confetti on [Isiah] Thomas, Paul Pierce teasing the Knicks' Stephon Marbury with a ball on an elastic cord and Ray Allen doing dribbling tricks at center court.
The Knicks play at home against the Bucks tonight, and holy hell I wish I had tickets. Friday night, thousands of pissed-off drunk mooks dressed like Turtle from Entourage… this could be the straw that breaks Isiah's back. Or not. Considering that Isiah was the centerpiece of a multi-million-dollar sexual harassment suit and is the one who assembled the comically overpaid, grossly underachieving team with mismatched parts, I'm pretty sure he has some kind of immunity from firing.
He could walk to the middle of the court, drop trou, take a dump in front of everyone, and not get fired. I think I'd like to see that, actually. I mean see him literally do it. It's already been done figuratively.

Turtle is sweet.
All that was missing was Garnett throwing a pail of confetti on [Isiah] Thomas..
They also did the old Twiggy Sanders de-pantsing trick. So did I, on your mom.
Fucken Knicks……sob……God, please kill Isiah, and put Bozo the clown in his spot so we can win more than 20 games this year…Please God…Please….
Aaaaaaand thanks for getting "Sweet Georgia Brown" running through my head for the rest of the day.
Here's the question: Is Isiah a horrible GM for assembling this team (and therefore not a bad coach because his roster has no talent), or is he a good GM, but a horrible coach (for putting together a somewhat talented roster, but not being able to motivate his players)?
The Knicks soap opera is the only thing keeping me interested in the NBA- keep it up Zeke!
@WWSM: Or is Isiah a horrible coach, GM, and CBA commissioner?
Oh, and human being.
Zeke the Plummer? Salute Deeze Shortz.
Vince:
Say what you want, but have you tried his popcorn? Shit is nice.
"All that was missing was Garnett throwing a pail of confetti on [Isiah] Thomas"
That alone would have been worth the price of admission.
Now entering the lexicon: the Zeke Deke. Being absolutely terrifically horrific at your job, and doing numerous things that, alone, would merit a firing, but happily keeping your post.
I got fired for sexual harassment for jokingly telling a room full of about nine people to blow me while I took a shit.
And I didn't even suck at that job.
Matt, after the past few years of seeing you bash everywhere from Arizona to Pittsburgh, for the first time I sort of sensed actual distain for the New Yorkers you live among… and I thank you for it. I think if staten island sank the world would be a better place. Now if you could only hate the shit out of New Jersey we could have something beautiful here.
But if Staten Island sank, where would we put our trash?
In the future, if the story involves Isiah and Starbury, I believe you can always title that post THIS DIDN'T END WELL
Speaking of turtles, I gotta hit the head.
Who cares about the game. The real question is, how was the popcorn?
But Isiah is tremendous at kissing tall men on the other team. That, and ruining franchises.
"If this is anyone but the Fab Five, you're stealing my shitting at center court bit."
