Ok. Enough of the pregnant Britney Spears magazine cover already.

I feel sorry for her children.

I think I like the new look.

Of course, you’ve been reading my blog so you know I talked about the new colors and stuff back on 6/5.

Let me just predict this now: Isiah Thomas will be looking for a job at the end of next season.

Gotta hand it to James Dolan the angry owner.

“But he has to do that and he has one year, one season to do that. At this time next year Isiah will be with us if we can all sit here and say that this team has made significant progress towards its goal of eventually becoming an NBA championship team. If we can’t say that, then Isiah will not be here.”

…

“It’s his ship to steer,” Dolan said, “his ship to make go fast, his ship to crash. His ship.”

Here’s the article.

Mark my words: The Knicks will not make it to the playoffs with Isiah Thomas as coach or as GM.

The Knicks of the NBA are the Missouri Tigers of the Big 12. If it’s not a train-wreck already, one’s in the making.

The fact that Larry Brown is now available means his circus is coming to some other lucky NBA team.

Too bad Don Nelson wasn’t part of the Bucks in 1998.

According to Wikipedia:

Early YearsNowitzki decided to declare for the 1998 NBA draft. He had a promise from Boston Celtics head coach Rick Pitino that his team would take him with the 10th overall selection. However, one other team was interested in the German prospect: the Dallas Mavericks, and they selected him just one pick earlier. Technically, he was drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks, but the Bucks were selecting for the Mavericks; the two teams had a pre-arranged deal. The Mavericks had likewise selected Robert “Tractor” Traylor for the Bucks with the sixth pick. Even though the two teams were selecting for each other, the Nowitzki-for-Traylor deal has gone down as one of the most infamous and lopsided trades ever. The Mavericks also got the draft rights to nineteenth-overall pick Pat Garrity, but that same draft, Garrity was traded (along with other players and future draft considerations) to the Phoenix Suns for young point guard Steve Nash. On that night, the Dallas Mavericks acquired the two pieces on which they would build their franchise for years to come.
