Real GM:NY Times - A few weeks ago, with 15 games left to play in the season, Larry Brown called the remaining time of the 2005-2006 campaign an audition.
"I know what we have, guys," Brown said Wednesday, speaking with reporters after what might have been the Knicks' last practice of the season. "You guys know what we have, come on. There's no audition. That audition stuff was over a long time ago."
If you can see it," Brown said, referring to a reporter's observations of the team's blasé attitude about losing, "obviously, we're around it a lot more."
But Brown said it would not stand. "We'll get this thing worked out," he added, promising that the Knicks would purge the roster of players with poor attitudes, who were not identified.
Brown said he was confident that the right moves would be made in the off-season by the team's owner, James L. Dolan, and Isiah Thomas, the director of basketball operations.
"I've got an owner who is committed to do what's right and a general manager committed to do what he thinks is right, so we'll figure it out," Brown said. "We've already made a lot of progress in that regard."
