isiah thomas fired

-
fans of the new york knickerbockers (including me) have been waiting for this all season long: isiah thomas has been fired from his coaching position.

after two seasons with thomas leading the knicks from the bench, the team has become the most dysfunctional team in the nba if not pro sport in general. as a knick fan, i have followed the team's progress or lack of it this season and i honestly think that isiah thomas remaining as the coach for next season is impossible.

early in the season, i was kinda excited because i thought that zach randolph will be a good addition to the knicks. well, his performance is not as dismal as that of curry or of starbury but it is not exactly enough to make the knicks a contender in the east. as the season drags on, it became clear that the team has a lot of problem to deal with.

donnie walsh, the new team president saw it fit that firing thomas will be the first of the many steps that needs to be taken to heal the ballclub. next i think would be to move curry or randolph. they also need to find a "true" point as crawford is better as a shooting guard being a streak shooter that he is.

the silver lining in this year's campaign is that they are headed to the lottery where they have a chance to draft promising collegiate players. this off-season will be a very busy one for the knicks and i hope that with walsh on the helm, the team can finally get back to its winning ways.

who's got the baddest f1 helmet?

the cars are not the the only sleek things in formula 1. there are kick-ass helmets too. anyone familiar with f1 knows that each driver has his own helmet. so, i did a bit of snooping around to bring you these f1 helmets. giancarlo fischella will be suiting up again for force india this season and he'll be wearing this helmet for the 2009 season. not too shabby but not too great either. adrian sutil, fisichella's force india teammate will be rocking this helmet this year. better than fisichella's in my opinion. back with renault for the second year after his one-year stint with mclaren-mercedes, fernando alonso has this for this year. looks good but i think i will go with sutil's still. heikki kovalainen would be looking to improve his last year's performance this season. hopefully, the helmet will not be the only thing he's changed for the better. it's tough but my mclaren bias means i'm picking this helmet over sutil's. jarno trulli, still w

anybody who matter really ripping on lebron?

  It’s amazing how LeBron at almost 37 is still being ripped for struggling, when he has an AD in his prime and not living up to expectations. Magic, Bird, Duncan, Hakeem, and Jordan were no longer relevant at 37. That lets you know how great LBJ is. “Keep it moving” — Eddie A Johnson (@Jumpshot8) December 10, 2021 it's amazing how eddie johnson can find people who knows what they are talking about actually rip on lebron. i mean, most of the blame on the lakers' lack of early season success has been piled on westbrook early on and has shifted to tony davis recently.  lebron is a physical specimen and although i'm not his biggest fan, i understand how great he is as a player and i can honestly say that he has not gotten any sort of blame for the lakers' season so far. so i'm not sure where eddie is coming from here. also, timmy won a chip as a major contributor at 36...against a stacked lebron team at that.

kevin durant is rookie of the year

last year's draft saw the portland trailblazers picking up greg oden with their first pick. then, seattle went with kevin durant and durant would go on to become this season's rookie of the year (uhm, rookie of what year exactly? shouldn't it be called the rookie of the season or something? hehehe). the university of texas standout, a 6'9" swingman with a wingspan of almost 7'5" led all rookies in scoring with 20.3 per contest. i must admit that i was more interested in oden as i was wondering how he (oden) will be able to match up with the league's premier big men. but durant showed that at his young age, he can ball with the best in the nba. i also admire the kid's professionalism, his dedication to his craft. in the first months of this season, he kept shooting threes which really hurt his shooting percentage. but he soon learned that it would be easier to make shots if he throw them up closer to the rim. by the end of the regular seaso
