Stephon Marbury Is Into The Wild

Stephon (Tracy Jordan) Marbury says that he will "dominate" this season, and that he has been training by "running in the mountains." Tirico Suave imagines this process.

Isiah Thomas Pretty Much Got A Promotion

The disinterest Isiah Thomas showed in his last days as coach of the New York Knicks was palpable, and pretty much understood by all parties. But remember: He's not being fired by the Knicks. He's just taking a different job with the team so that $18 million still left on his contract can be collected. So what's he gonna do? How does $18 million to stay the hell away from the team sound?

Goodbye, Isiah. We Shall Never Meet Another Like You

The NBA Playoffs schedule is all set, and we'll certainly be overflowing with coverage and discussion and all you might expect from your sports blog, but we really need to start today off with a eulogy. At some point today, if it hasn't happened already (and the ESPNews crawl seems to think so), Isiah Thomas is going to be fired as head coach of the New York Knicks, and we all must make our peace with it. We will never see his likes again. More »

Counting Down Isiah's Final Hours

The New York Knicks' season ends tomorrow night, in Indiana, but the official/unofficial goodbye to Isiah Thomas was in the Garden last night, with the Knicks losing to the Celtics' second stringers. It's all coming to an end, Mal. Our Sports Human Of The Year has just a few hours left of employment. More »

The Best $187 Million Ever Spent

As Isiah Thomas and the Knicks attempt to finish up their disastrous season and wait to find out what new GM Donnie Walsh will do to rejuvenate the team, it'd probably be a good idea to make sure he doesn't read this Portfolio.com article on how much Isiah has cost the Knicks. The magazine estimates that since Isiah took over in 2003, he's cost the franchise $187 million. Here's where some of the damage came from: More »

Dolan And Isiah Are BFF, Got It?

So to get you up to speed, Chikezie is out on American Idol, but Isiah Thomas has avoided elimination with the Knicks. Of course it doesn't seem fair, but that's the world we live in. According to the New York Daily News, owner James Dolan and Thomas are inseparable pals, like Crockett and Tubbs on Miami Vice. However, Dolan is also saying that the next Director of Basketball Operations — let's assume it's going to be Donnie Walsh — is free to fire Isiah if he chooses. My guess is that the decision will be, "Yes, please." More »

Ladies and gentlehumans, the day of reckoning is almost upon us, and it's a sad concept to behold. Yes, it's beginning to look like it is, in fact, possible for Isiah Thomas to be fired as coach of the Knicks. We know: We also dreamed this could last forever. You don't know what you got ... More »

One Year Since Isiah Showed "Evident Progress"

It's a historic day, everyone, one whose importance almost slipped by us. Today, it has been one year since James Dolan saw "evident progress" from the New York Knicks and extended Isiah Thomas' contract. Boy, did that ever work out well. More »

Isiah Thomas Joins "Fire Isiah" Movement

The NBA Closer is written by Matt McHale, who thinks Isiah has been trying to get fired for years - I mean, would you want to coach the Knicks? Didn't think so. When he's not trying to make sense of Isiah's substitution patterns, he can be found scrapbooking at Basketbawful. Enjoy!

• Okay, seriously, now he's just trying to get fired. Let's take a look at Isiah's "Fire me, please God, let them fire me" checklist: Start Malik Rose? Check. Inexplicably alter rotation against one of the league's best teams by playing guys like Wilson Chandler, Randolph Morris and Mardy Collins? Check. Freak out the Madison Square Garden crowd by yanking Nate Robinson in favor of Chandler with 1:33 left and my team in possession in the frontcourt and trailing by four? Check. Refuse to comment on the apparent banishment of Stephon Marbury? Check. Guide my team to a season-low 24 games under .500 - thus clinching our seventh straight losing season - while standing around with a vacant and borderline suicidal look on my face? Check, check, and check!

Those Eight Percent Shooting Nights Will Get You Every Time

Just great. One round into the District 3 Class A high school boys basketball playoffs in Pennsylvania, and my brackets are already in shambles. The team I had picked to reach the finals, the York Country Day Greyhounds, lost to the Scotland Cadets 74-5 last week. Yeah, think that the Knicks' 40-point loss to the 76ers on Wednesday was bad? That was nothing. More »

This Seems Fitting

The Knicks have lost intern-boinking virus Stephon Marbury for the rest of the season. Marbury, who had hoped to return this year after undergoing ankle surgery to remove bone spurs, will now be relegated to hopping around by himself, most likely in a pair of cheaply made (but very affordable) sneakers.

Larry Brown Is Happy Not To Be In New York Anymore

Larry Brown offers us a fond, cute little footnote in the epic catastrophe that is 2007 SHOTY winner Isiah Thomas' tenure with the New York Knicks. Brown wasn't exactly Mr. Sunshine and Rainbows with that team — and he clearly stopped giving a crap 10 games in — but Isiah has made sure that Brown will be remembered as the guy who gave up his seat to Richie Valens.
