This is not a day to disparage a New York Knick team for which expectations were so high. This is not a day to lament the loss of another Knick trooper to injury, leaving coach Mike Woodson to search vainly down the bench for a player who can handle the ball. This is not a day to inquire of Carmelo Anthony the whereabouts of this performance against teams other than the likes of the Charlotte Bobcats and Utah Jazz.

Coming off perhaps the worst regular season in NBA history, the Charlotte Bobcats announced Monday that head coach Paul Silas would not return to coach the team during the 2012-13 NBA season. Rod Higgins, Charlotte's president of basketball operations, announced the separation — it's not a firing, per se, as Silas' contract ran out at the end of the season — in a press release , saying that the "search for [Silas'] successor will begin immediately." "I would like to personally thank Paul for everything he has done for this team under some pretty unique circumstances," Higgins said. "His basketball experience as a coach and a player speak for themselves. We have been fortunate to have someone of his character associated with this franchise and we hope he will continue to be a valuable resource to us in the future." During a Monday afternoon press conference, Silas thanked the Bobcats for the opportunity and said he would not pursue another head-coaching job. "It's time to move on and I'm OK with that," Silas said, according to the Bobcats' official Twitter feed . Silas said he was offered an as-yet undefined consulting role with the team, though most outside observers would likely suggest that the best thing for him, now that he is without a contract, is to run away from the Charlotte Bobcats as fast as your 68-year-old legs can take you . Higgins didn't set a timetable for a hire to be made, but did say the front office is "going to start as soon as this [press conference] is over." General manager Rich Cho said the ideal candidate for the team's head coach would be "someone [...] who wants to be here and [the] opportunity to be part of building this team up going forward." That raises an interesting question: Who the hell wants this job?

The Philadelphia 76ers were pretty bad at various times after the All-Star break. Yet Sixers fans like myself could still take comfort in making the playoffs anyway - and that they weren't the Charlotte Bobcats. In fact, now every single team in NBA history can take comfort in how they weren't the 2011-12 Bobcats - even the 1972-73 Sixers.

The Philadelphia 76ers may have secretly wished to finish as the No. 8 Eastern playoff seed instead of the No. 7. Sixers fans like myself certainly advised it, since the top-seeded Chicago Bulls are still a better matchup than the second-seeded Miami Heat. In the end, the Sixers got that secret wish in decisive fashion, as they didn't even try to beat the Detroit Pistons on April 26 while the New York Knicks destroyed the historically awful Charlotte Bobcats.
