Why Bobcats fired Bickerstaff
Bobcats executive Bernie Bickerstaff, rendered extraneous by Larry Brown's hiring as coach, was terminated yesterday, The Post has learned. He has one guaranteed year at $1 million left on his contract. A head coach and GM for several NBA teams, including the Bobcats, has been mentioned by many as a genuine contender for the Knicks' GM job and as a sideline mentor for Mark Jackson should he become Isiah Thomas' successor.

That is sad news. Over the few short years, Bernie has been the only bright spot leading the Bobcats. Johnson and Jordan clearly have fumbled, and Bernie was able to keep a team competitive that should not have been. Horrible and very sad news.

How about that East? Celtics and Cavs have scored in two games, just slightly higher than one West match up! Billips has come up lame and has to be put down. The only hope the East has is the Magic, and that's hoping!

Those stats are misleading. Det. and Boston had the top 2 scoring defense this season. The Lakers were 19 and Utah was 13th. Cleveland was 9th. I'll admit the Lakers have looked the best so far, but we'll see.

In all his years of coaching and whatever other positions he's held what is the fascination with Bernie Bickerstaff - other than that cool last name ???

Bernie hasn't done jack ****. He's coached a few teams, but how many ever really did anything? None. Tell him not to let the door hit him in the ass on the way out.
