ny welcomes home larry brown

stephen a smith personally on tv GUARENTEED that the knicks will be in the playoffs come that time...

i don't wanna jump on the bandwagon quite yet(though i'd like to see it happen), but i will say that if lb pulls this off(get the knicks into the playoffs this coming year), it will be nothing short of incredible...

ny has no money to blow...
nobody on that team plays defense first...
nobody on that team shares the ball first...
the eastern conference as a whole has gotten better while ny has gotten worse(besides the top 3, nets now have abdu-rahim, cavs have hughes, wizards have daniels, and of course we have chicago and boston not going anywhere, let's not forget orlando, and even bucks look better)...

put it this way; brown is worth a LOT to any nba team; if there's a coach you'd want on your team in this day and age, this guy is it. but i believe the players contribute to that potential as well. the reason why the sixers could not top the lakers, but the pistons could, was simply that the pistons were a flat-out better team; there was more to them that simply one or two players.

i really felt that the pistons was really the ideal team that brown wanted to coach all along...

they share the ball like he wants to...
they play hardcore team d like he wants to...
they have no superstar, so this team concept is helped even more...
and finally, he loves them and they love him right back...

but hey, let's see what brown can do for ny...
