Brown also said that Elton Brand of the Clippers had clutched Channing Frye on the inbounds play, and that the referees were not about to call a foul on a veteran for victimizing a rookie. Brown is right. By now, the Knicks ought to have nine or 10 regulars who are game sharp. It still looks like October training camp.
Brown insists that he and Thomas were on the same page.
"I talk to him all the time, but sometimes coaches are not objective," Brown said. "They didn't tell me it would be easy."
