I apologize for starting the political silliness, although the posts have been pretty amusing at least.

Washington going down without a fight tonight.

>Dems are huge liars, endemically. Yet they spend all their time trying to convince the apolitical public otherwise.<

I want to apologize, but this will be my only political post.

Some of the democrats are liars, but most of them are just plain stupid. They live in a non-existent idealistic version of the world. It’s hard wired into some peoples’ brains to think in terms of the way they would like the world to be instead of the way it works. As a result, they constantly make policy decisions that are a disaster over the long haul even if they satisify the other ignorants in the short term.

The republicans on the other hand do understand how the world works, but they allow greed to interfere with their decision making and constantly lie.

Avery might figure out how to make Zach and/or Eddy to look good i.e. tradeable, maybe can get Steph to make Zach and Eddy look good. To me. it’s not about the playoffs, its more about maximizing the value of what we have in the trade market. Avery already knows what he can say and can’t say, what he can do and can’t do, in trying to accomplish that. Jackson and Thibodeau would have to make lots of rookie mistakes in the locker room and on the court, which we can’t afford right now.

“I like Avery Johnson too, but I don’t see a realistic scenario where NY can make the playoffs next year, no matter who the coach is.”

I agree. The Knicks have so many pieces out of place that they only reason and established coach used to winning would take the job is to get a lot of money. Unlike with players, I don’t think money is the primary target of coaches looking for their next gig.

The Knicks will probably have to settle for coaches with little experience, or established mediocrities. That’s why Jackson’s the frontrunner. I’m not sure how a proven assistant (Thibodeau) fits into the equation though (ie, if he was offered the job, would he take it?).
