NEW YORK — Isiah "Let's Get Physical" Thomas is rapidly unravelin'.
Making a move on Anucha Browne Sanders in private was damaging enough. Making a move toward Quentin Richardson during an ignominious Knicks loss at Charlotte last Friday, and having to be restrained by assistant Herb Williams, is a blinking red neon sign the coach is beggin' to be put out of his misery.
When players embarrass their coach by allowing the 29th-worst offensive NBA team to score 67 points in the first half and a coach embarrasses his players by yanking them in the first couple of minutes of the third quarter clearly, they have no use for each other, no matter how both parties tried to compound out the scuff marks after taking verbal shots at each other.
