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.

Baron Davis is simply filthy. Last night his 40 points (6/8 from three) carried the Warriors to a 119-111 win over the rudderless Bulls.
