Today, some future Charlotte Bobcat rookie, shed a tear and didn’t know why.  The reason for the tear is Larry Brown has just been named the head coach, of the Charlotte Bobcats and drinks the blood of rookies with his Metamucil.

Larry Brown has reached an agreement to return to the NBA as coach of the Charlotte Bobcats, the Observer confirmed early today. The source, a longtime NBA executive, said Brown came to a final decision Monday to succeed Sam Vincent as coach of the Bobcats.

For a young team with a few vets Larry Brown just seems like a bad idea.  I’m just sayin.

In the ongoing LeBron James DeShawn Stevenson beef, Jay Z responds to Stevenson’s LeBron Is Overrated comments. As part owner of the Nets, Jay Z is certainly working all the angles for a free agent LeBron James in 2010.

I really believe that Marc Jackson is the guy the Knicks need to get back to respectability.  However, if the Knicks could get one of the all-time greats in Patrick Ewing to join Marc Jacksons coaching staff that would  the icing on the cake.  Stan Van Gundy is all for Patrick Ewing taking the Knicks head coach job period.

Magic Coach Stan Van Gundy on Thursday questioned why the New York Knicks might hire an inexperienced head coach when Patrick Ewing — one of Van Gundy’s assistant coaches — is ready to do the job but apparently not a candidate. Former Knicks guard Mark Jackson is considered by many to be a front-runner for the coaching position left vacant after the firing of Isiah Thomas. Jackson has never coached and is currently working as a television analyst. Ewing is interested in becoming a head coach, but told the Orlando Sentinel recently he had not been contacted by the Knicks.

Candace Cabrera is very distracting

Damn, this is even a worse decision than opting for the rehab instead of the surgery last year.  What is this guy doing?  I mean Star Jones? She’s in his 5?  Star Jones is fresh off a divorce from her “man” Al and Dwyane Wade has been on the market even when he was off the market.

“It’s been one whole day since news broke that Star Jones filed for divorce from Al — and already Star is being linked to Miami Heat guard Dwyane Wade. A rep for Star Jones [said] that the rumors aren’t true.”

If the leader of the Heat is making these kind of moves somebody else might have to wear the C next year.  Even Ricky Davis must be shaking his head. Star Jones? Damn!

Sam sit  Bargnani and let Ford come off the bench.  Watching Andrea play defense is maddening, he’s too slow for most opposing small forwars and too weak for opposing centers and power forwards.  Plus he hasn’t been as productive as Kapono who has found serious rhythm shooting 66% from the field so far in the series.

For whatever reason, Mitchell insists on starting 7-footers Andrea Bargnani and Rasho Nesterovic. That’s 14 feet of lumbering Europeans that plays right into the Magic’s hands. The bad news for Orlando is Mitchell seems to have figured that out. He said the lineup will be different Thursday night, though he didn’t say what the changes would be. “I’m not going to tell you,” Mitchell said. “But you watched the game, so use some common sense.”

Sit Andrea and starting Jose would probably stop a sweep in this series, but we’ll see what happens tonight.
