THE WAKE WAS HELD AT MADISON SQUARE GARDEN
NY Press
This week's NY Press sports talk column by C.J. Sullivan and Dave Hollander has this lament about NY basketball:
HOLLANDER: And now he should be booted out. Too late. [NY Knick's owner] James M. Dolan’s absurdly premature awarding [Head Coach] Isiah [Thomas] a four-year contract extension guarantees that Madison Square Garden will remain a pro basketball wasteland for an entire generation. The only person happier than Isiah about Isiah staying in New York is Bruce Ratner. The Brooklyn Nets will soon be the only NBA team of consequence in our city. Too bad so many in Brooklyn don’t want them there. The whole thing makes me ill.
NoLandGrab: Hope Hollander doesn't mind the trip to Jersey while the Nets stay put for as long as it takes.
