The disaster known as the NY Knicks becomes a comedy

The Knicks' train wreck almost became a literal car wreck yesterday between lame-duck head coach Larry Brown and his heir apparent, GM, Isiah Thomas.

I warn you that you can't make this stuff up.

In a pouring rainstorm, Brown gave another brief roadside interview after working out draft-eligible players, then tried pulling his gray Audi back onto a busy Westchester road. Brown slammed on the brakes as Thomas' silver Road Ranger came flying by. Thomas swerved left on the wet pavement out of the way. The vehicles missed each other by a wide margin but the symbolism was incredulous.

Thomas waved and flashed his brights to acknowledge the rain-soaked media throng. Thomas has not spoken since The Brown Watch began three weeks ago in which owner James Dolan is plotting Brown's ouster.

This franchise is so bad from the top down it's ridiculous.
