Simmons steals my material!

The ever-wise, always funny Bill Simmons of espn.com has resorted to a new low--stealing my material. (Well, okay, to be fair, he's probably never read my site, but what he wrote in his latest column does sound a little familiar.) In a run-down of the title hopes of every NBA team, Simmons wrote this about the Knicks:

You can't do a worse job coaching an NBA team than Larry Brown did with the Knicks this year. It's impossible. Condescending, inexplicable, unfriendly, haphazard, rambling, incoherent, unprepared, overcritical, self-defeating, depressing, unrealistic ... really, pick any negative word or phrase for a coach and it probably fits. This current Knicks team was poorly conceived, but it also wasn't a 20-win team. Brown botched the 2004 Olympics beyond belief, he screwed up the 2005 Pistons with all the Cleveland rumors, and he's destroyed the 2006 Knicks to the point it's turning into a "24" episode. These are the facts.

It's about time Brown takes some hits for the horrendous job he's done this season... honestly, he's lucky he has disasters like "Starbury" and Isiah around to absorb all the blame.
