Isiah Thomas explains everything!

April 10th, 2008 | Posted by PostmanE

The Knicks have had a horrendous year. There are probably a lot of adjectives — synonyms for horrendous, no less — that one might choose to throw out here, but I’m not going to do that. It’s far too late to try and add new rhetoric to the Isiah Thomas saga; anyway, the regrettable Brian McNamee said it best. It is what it is.

Of course, try explaining that to Donnie Walsh. He wants new answers, new solutions, and new explanations from everyone’s favorite exec that just won’t die:

New president Donnie Walsh said Wednesday he plans to meet soon with Thomas, and he wants to know why a team he thought could be good instead will finish as perhaps the worst in franchise history.

“You can say I have an open mind as far as any conversation I’m going to have,” Walsh said. “I still don’t think we’ve played well, there’s a lot of things I want to talk about. So it’s not totally open. It’s not like I’m going in saying, ‘Well, this has all been great, so what do you want to talk about?’”

Which, of course, doesn’t mean Isiah will be fired anytime soon:

“Yeah, I would say that we’re going to go through the season because there’s only four games left,” Walsh said, “and I’m going to use this period to try to take a look at the whole situation so I’m in a position to make whatever decision is going to be made — if there are any.”

So, to recap: Donnie Walsh is going to talk to Isiah Thomas. Isiah Thomas is going to explain away that whole losing thing. And that whole payroll situation. And that whole Stephon Marbury thing. And that whole Larry Brown thing. And that whole Anucha Brown-Sanders thing. And that whole Pacers thing. And that whole CBA thing.

This explanation had better be fucking awesome.
