Linemployment Beckons - Knicks Coach Leaves

Tyler Durden's picture




 

This is neither here nor there: we just wanted to toss our name in the Linnovative hat:

  • KNICKS COACH D'ANTONI QUITS, YAHOO SPORTS SAYS, CITING SOURCES

Linemployment benefits next: looking forward to next week's record warm weather seasonally adjusted BLS data to interpret this as one less jobless claim.

The only thing that can save the upward MSG momentum on absolutely nothing? iLin.

too bad he couldn't just print W's in the W-L column.

Maybe he could borrow some W's and then return them next season after the playoffs are over?

This is what I was going to say. Neither Lin nor D'antoni can't win with lil' Prima Donna Melo on the floor.

Funny, I never would've guessed that all the kids going straight to the NBA would've made college ball more mature in comparison. The NBA is mostly unwatchable at this point, as it's nothing but street ball.

Fuck, three-on-three games have better team oriented play than these millionaire kids do.

Exactly.  Lin can't help that team.  They have no use for a point guard.

well you didn't think Melo was gonna let "2 inches of pain" steal he thunder, did ya?

look, Jared diamond already told you what you needed to know about negro teamwork. 

evolution didn't engender collective action as a strong suit...it supported aggression and peacocking.  Most behavior is hereditary

Knicks are something like 2-9 since 'melo returned; and the only > .500 stretch they've had is with 'melo out.  And so they tell the coach to take a hike to protect 'melo.  This is why the Knicks existence improves every other team's chances of winning an NBA title.

ghetto ball and the silly infatuation with negro playing style of iso, dunking, trash talk, ooking, eeking and generally chimping out after every play have completely alienated the fanbase. 

The triumph of a lanky german over 3 of the league's top highlight reel players (inc. Queen James) should have put the deathknell into this, but we'll see.

I agree ever since Jordan left African handball has been a dying sport....season way to long..players rather be thugs then upstanding athletes (how's that working out for you Iverson)

Anyways it's march madness would rather watch that than any 7 game nba final series...

This idiot's a racist.  The lanky German was on a team that had 4 negroes starting beside him.

I've noticed many white people like hockey because there's no minorities & hate basketball for the opposite reason.

on noze, you called me a name!!

yeah, white people (along with EVERYONE ELSE) are totally alienated by TNB...it's typical for civilized humans to be repulsed by it.

in white sports, an average play doesn't inspire a chimpout

The NBA jumped the shark when Jordan left years ago.

The NBA jumped the shark when Jordan left years ago.

 

I have a different view, one that most disagree with at first, but many come around.  My view is that Jordan is the guy who decimated the game.  Here' why:

Jordan was so dominant one on one that he spawned the isolation game as a successful strategy.  Prior to Jordan, virtually every championship team was a team and couldn't make it with just a superstar and a surrounding cast.  For decades, Boston won tons of championships without ever having a leading scorer.  And the best teams of the 1980s - the Celtics and Lakers - were talented at all 5 positions.  (Of note, Jordan never won a championship while Bird and Magic were in the league...it wasn't until he stepped into their void did Chicago win).

So look at the game now.  The teams are built around 2-3 stars and a bunch of folks that just as well could be flipping burgers.  It's a one-on-one isolation game (when it counts at the end).  Load up the weak side and hope your guy is hot that night.  It's the worst excuse for a sport that there is, and bears no resemblance to the college version.

So for all his iconic stature, Jordan to me is the guy who (inadvertantly) gave birth to the Carmellos, LeBrons and Kobes we have today.  If it wasn't for the Spurs, there probably wouldn't be any class in the league at all.

My rant is done.

mayhem_k, If you know investing as well as you know basketball, you should be a very wealthy man.  Your observations are very well stated and correct.  There is no longer a concept of TEAM in the NBA.

You pretty much nailed it, except that you left out the Detroit Pistons teams that kept Jordan in check until his first title in 1991.

MJ is simulateneously the greatest basketball player of all time and the man who destroyed the sport.

Only in America!

Who cares about a bunch of blacks and a few token chinks throwing a ball around, I certainly don't.

In childhood I spent so many nights mindlessly watching NBA games.  I'll never get that time back.  Live and learn.
