Playoff Open Thread/Knicks News: 4/20/08
Happy Sunday, children. This joyous day brings with it four must-see (three can-see) NBA playoff games. Here’s your schedule:
The bad news? Rumor has it that the Nugs/Lakes tilt on ABC won’t be viewable in the New York area because the Pope’s visit to Yankee Stadium is gonna be televised on ABC. I don’t know about you, but until Benedict improves his assist/turnover ratio, I’d rather see Kobe. Oh well.
Meanwhile, if you were watching yesterday, you probably heard Mike Breen formally ask Mark Jackson if he had interest in the Knicks’ now-vacant coaching job. Here’s his reply:
“Well, I’ll tell you what, Donnie Walsh is a guy I have a great relationship with, I have a lot of history with,” Jackson said. “You talk about the Knicks, it’s one of the greatest franchises in all of sports. It is a job that is very intriguing.”
“This is a one-horse race right now; it’s Mark Jackson,” Van Gundy said. “It’s his time and he would do a tremendous job if given the opportunity anywhere, but particularly a New York guy in New York. Great idea on basketball philosophy, great communication skills.”
This certainly does seem to be the case. While we haven’t heard anything yet from Walsh, Jackson does appear to be the front-runner. It’s hard to take a stance when the guy has never coached before and we have no idea what his style is like. I can say that I’d be relieved to longer have to hear his announcing anymore…
More on this as it develops. Enjoy this glorious day and leave your comments here.
It’s being reported that Tom Thibodeau, the defensive assistant coaching expert on the Celtics (And one of our assistants during the Van Gundy days,) has contacted Walsh. This is going to be a VERY interesting offseason.

Goddamnit! All of you stupid fucking faggots who feel the need to post these stupid fucking “open letters” need to learn to write a letter, seal it, and throw it in a fucking mailbox where it belongs.Jesus Christ! If you have a problem with ABC, take it up with ABC! Or, just quit watching and wash your hands of them, but just because you love the smell of your own farts so much doesn’t mean you need to fart all over the goddamn Internet. I didn’t even watch the damn debateOh, fantastic, I was pretty sure you didn’t know shit in the first place, but thanks for confirming it you douche-bag. I swear to God if I knew you in real life I’d twist your fucking nut-sack off you stupid cunt.
Not happy with ABC’s Debate that consisted of “who’s wearing their flag pin” and a HATCHET JOB ON OBAMA?Call and tell them:WABC-TV Main Station Number: 212.456.1000Call The News Desk: 212.456.3173For Other Calls to the Newsroom: 212.456.3100They ask on their website:Have a Story Idea?I’ve got one: How about “Why are you such a bunch of Brittany Spears-Worshipping, Profits-Above-All, Worthless Corporate TOOLS?”Hey ABC PRICKS: Ever think about doing what’s right for American instead of your ratings and the bottom line?
finally, someone shows some mercy.unsurprisingly, they’re not zionists.
While I share the sentiment, opening the letter by saying he didn’t actually watch the debate made me lose interest pretty fast.
The cone of silence about Gaza from the media would be remarkable if it weren’t so expected. Anyone who still believes the mainstream media to be anything other than propaganda operatives for the Zionist Military Industrial Complex is simply an ostrich with their head stuck firmly into the ground.
Open letter to Opednews.comThat grey patterned background makes your text unreadable. It’s time to wake up and smell good web design.
if all of the kucinich faithful stopped watching ABC forever and for good the resulting drop in nielsen ratings wouldn’t even register within the standard allowance for error. get real.
