As you may have heard about,
Isiah Thomas got the boot on Wednesday after making contact with a referee as he was being T'd up. The league reviewed the tape, though, and determined the since the contact was incidental (and actually initiated by ref Joey Crawford, no less), Zeke would not be suspended, which, as the
New York Times says, is actually punishment in itself:
But a suspension would have almost seemed kind. Then Thomas would not have to listen to chants of "Fire Isiah" when the Knicks play host to the Toronto Raptors on Friday.
Thomas also disputed a random rumor (
originating out of Oregon, of all places) that suggested
Zach Randolph was headed to the Bucks. Not only is Z-Bo safe, but it seems that all of his teammates are, too:
"There's no truth to that," said Thomas, who is also the Knicks' president.
Asked why he viewed his players as untouchable, Thomas said, "Because that's how I feel."
Not sure I believe him there. And I'm also not sure that's the best strategy for motivating his players. If he told the press that anyone is expendable, they might actually pick up their play, fighting to attract attention and earn that plane ticket out of town.
