HBO's Bill Simmons Takes Shots At Knicks Owner James Dolan

Bill Simmons last night "took aim" at Knicks Owner James Dolan in the second episode of his HBO show "Any Given Wednesday." Simmons "proceeded to pummel Dolan in the show's middle segment, which ripped apart the Knicks for a series of poor personnel moves and a philosophy of signing expensive stars who are well past their primes." Save for Simmons' "awkward opening and closing monologues, the second episode of 'Any Given Wednesday' might go down as this show's launching pad moment." The episode was "very good" and "light years better than the premiere" (N.Y. DAILY NEWS, 6/29).
