I have said several times that he did have a bad attitude earlier in his career. I seen more of an effort from him since larry brown left, an effort thats been ignored by most. I also mentioned his high number of turnovers in our first preseason game, and i agreed to an extent with you that after 2 games he played ok....nothing more or nothing less, in your exact words. I now feel hes a step up from ok, after dishin out 6 assists in 20 minutes. His 4 fouls were bad, but how often does he get into foul trouble?
I never said he played great last year. He had some good games when he came back from his fathers passing, but then he had the surgery on his foot. I remember him settin up lee for a dunk against chicago, and then hittin a 3 to lead us to victory.
I don't respond to your comments because your an idiot, who every now and then amuses me and nothing more. But hey we still have 14 days still the season starts and that gives "Starbury" plenty of time to alienate Walsh to the point where he's released.
I"m proud to be a "hatebury" because Stephon Marbury gives this team and its fans nothing to like. And when he's finally gone and you leave the site for however long it'll take you to get over your loss you will see that the media circus is gone and the true rebuilding process has begun. And the process is not built around "team Starburys" scapgoat Chris Duhon (who is merely a two year stop gap) but it is built around David Lee, Nate Robinson, Wilson Chandler, Danilo, and hopefully Brandon Jennings or Ricky Rubio.
And i don't want Marbury around Danilo, personally i don't want him around anybody on the team.
And what was taken out of context? Basically It finally occured to Marbury no matter what he does he's not going to start or be the first guard off the bench so now all the fireworks are going to begin.
But hey i'm exposed for not liking Marbury. You are 100 % correct i like things and players that will help make the TEAM more cohesive and better. I don't care about one player putting up statistics.
You were quick to jump on this quote:
"I always want to start," he said. "I'm a starter period. That's just what it is. It's not my choice to be in this situation. It's the coach's choice. It's his team and you've got to do what he says to do."
Theres nothin bad about that. Hes confident in his ability to start for this team, duhorn hasnt even impressed me that much. Marbury hasnt played his best either, but he also hasnt really been lookin for his shot. Hes been lookin to pass the ball and be a team player, as showed by his 6 assists in 20 minutes last night.
Duhoe had 4 turnovers in 29.5 minutes last night, Mike D is only keepin him in the starting lineup to protect himself. He knows he made a mistake by pushin for Duhorn to be signed. Hate blinds you from seeing this.
SMH @ you saying your proud to be a haterbury. I dont hate anyone on the knicks, and i give crawford and curry credit where its due. If you dont believe me, i could pull up a couple of my game threads from january when crawford was playing real good (on offense). Thats the difference between me and you. I give credit where its due, you never gave marbury credit for anything. You hate him like he killed someone in your family. I dont even hate the celtics as much as you hate marbury.
You laugh at my posts from time to time....i read your posts from time to time. I get tired of reading the same garbage about marbury, post after post. I question your loyalty to the Knicks. 90% of your posts involve marbury. Why dont you hate Curry? Not sayin i hate him, hes certainly a player who i think has no place on this team but with the hatred you have for marbury i would think that you would want someone like curry dead. He showed up this year in terrible shape, and has been nothing but a joke so far. Marbury showed up in great shape. Hes been playing good so far in preseason, demonstrating his ability to play within the team system and hes made some nice passes. Defensivly hes our best point guard. Im really not impressed with duhornes defense at all. Nate has looked better defensively then him.
And whats wrong with marbury being around Danilo? I would hope that Gallinari is not that weak mentally where he could be easily influenced by a bad teammate, not that marbury is one. That statement you made exposes your lack of basketball knowledge. There has been many successful teams in the history of sports that had players who didnt get along. The only thing that matters is how they play on the court, its the number of wins that matter the most. In 2006-07 we came close to making the playoffs, with Crawford as our sg and Curry as our center. Marbury had a good year and he helped curry average a career 19.5 points per game. If curry and Lee didnt get injured that year, we might had made the playoffs. Marbury was playin hurt for a while....showin alotta heart while playin through pain. But you dont give him credit for anything.
