THE WEBLOG OF KEVIN C. MURPHY: CONJURING POLITICAL, CINEMATIC, AND CULTURAL ARCANA SINCE 1999

After what looks to be a season-killing losing streak (9 of 10 games) for the Knicks, Lenny Wilkens gets the boot. (Ok, ok, he "resigned"...yeah, right.) For now, Knicks stalwart Herb Williams is in charge, but both Larry Brown and Phil Jackson are already waiting in the wings, and it seems clear Herb's tenure will be a short one.

I dunno. Sure, there were several mental mistakes made in recent games by the coaching staff...but let's face it: The Knicks are a bad (and badly-constructed) team. Without a single front-line player who merits a double-team in the post, our offense is basically reduced to hoping two of our three perimeter shooters (Marbury, Crawford, Houston) have a good game. That's not going to win a championship, no matter who's coaching. It wouldn't even get us in the playoffs if the Atlantic Division wasn't so terrible across the board. To my mind, Lenny was made the scapegoat for an unwinnable situation.
