The news is just too sad to even think about. How can Chuck Daly be gone? It seems like just yesterday when Joe Dumars and Isiah Thomas were wearing those ever so short shorts and winning back to back titles with Chuck Daly keeping everyone happy as the coach.
This story hits home for me after just recovering from cancer myself.
And his hair was perfect…
And his hair was perfect. Every time I think about Chuck Daly, I think about that old song lyric. Chuck coming down the …read more

Yesterday, we discussed how Isiah Thomas was still loved in Michigan no matter what kind of mockery he makes of himself out in the world of coaching. Today, we will look at the fact that he appears to be making a mockery of himself again.
Florida International deserves everything they get, so they better have an exit strategy. For myself, let us hope that Isiah surprises the nay sayers (that includes myself) and finds his coaching mojo.
The doubters are out there.
“He feels like he’s toxic in the …read more

It is just that kind of day. The kind of Michigan day when you go outside and the cold rain beats down on your head and the sun is lost somewhere on the other side of the clouds. You know in the back of your mind that this is about as good as it gets and at least there is no snow. Yes, it is just that kind of day.
Someone at Florida International lost their minds and hired Isiah Thomas at the same time.
How will …read more

Call me crazy, but there is a part of me that watched Isiah Thomas play college ball for Indiana and NBA ball for the Detroit Pistons that just wants to see Isiah smile. Sorry Knick fans, even Isiah deserves to smile.
Isiah Thomas smiles

Yeah, yeah, it was Isiah passed out in his home and not his daughter. Geez, where does Isiah go now to reduce his legacy?
Authorities have not publicly identified Thomas as the victim, but a person familiar with the case has confirmed it was the …read more

Isiah Thomas may not be happy

First they said it was his daughter. Even his son said that. Towing the company line.
Reached Friday evening, Harrison Police Chief David Hall confirmed that a 47-year-old male had been taken from Thomas’s home. He refuted claims that the incident involved Thomas’s daughter.
“I understand that this person claims it was his daughter; he is lying,” Hall said. “It was definitely not his daughter, it was a male. We know the difference between a 47-year-old black male and a young black female.” …read more

Michael Curry will try to right the Piston ship
The NBA is proud to bring a brand new coach to your area. They did it for 8 teams.
Think about that. 8 new coaches.
Ever heard of a brand new coach immediately winning it all? It has probably happened, but not to my knowledge.
Usually you just fired the last coach because the team stunk so bad he could not make them win.
So this year we bring you the 8 trying to make …read more

For better or worse and most of the time worse, Stephon Marbury has been the face of the New York Knicks. He was like a plague to both Larry Brown and Isiah Thomas. Now the Knicks are prepared to face life without him.

Yes, yes, if Stephon Marbury would mind his ways …read more
