Outside the Lines: Isiah Thomas

Today's Outside the Lines, first repor, deals with Isiah Thomas's involvement in the latest NBA (National Brawl Association) fight.

My opinion
Isiah Thomas tried to bring up the Bad Boys! Maybe he should put Bill Lampier back on the roster and send him in to deliver a message. That way his regular players won't be affected. On a six-degrees of separation note, Mardy Collins acted as the goon, and Collin's head coach is John Chaney, famous for sending in the "goon" in the Saint Joseph's game a couple of seasons ago. Isiah Thomas played in college under Mr Anger Management, Bob Knight. So the two main people involved in this "goon" incident are linked to John Chaney and Bob Knight. Coincidence????????????

Whether George Karl was winning for Larry Brown it doesn't really matter. This is a professional basketball game, not a prime-time "you hurt my feelings" drama. Isiah should blame himself and his players for losing the game and Isiah is responsbile for failing to revive the Knicks as a GM and a coach. He should not be taking it out on the opponents who beat him.

Let's face it, Isiah is on a long list of Top 100 All-time NBA players who have failed to live up to expectations as general managers or head coaches: Larry Bird, Michael Jordan, Clyde Drexler, Isiah Thomas, Magic Johnson, Kareem Abdul Alcindor Jabbar, etc.
