Actually Marburysexual he is the problem. He cant keep anyone out of the paint, letting teams breakdown our D. He doesn't have a great TO/Assist ratio and he isn't scoring like he used to. He is mediocre at best. We need a floor general who can get Curry and Randolph the ball while being able to keep opposing guards in front of him. I am tired of seeing him burned on one end of the court then brick a three pointer or turn the ball over in response. Lets face facts, Marbury HAD tremendous talent and athleticism but never had the the right head. Now his athleticism is is going and his head is still as bad as ever. If he could play smart he could be effective like Billups but he doesn't and needs to go. At this point I'd rather develop Nate and Collins then waste anymore time with this underachieving chump. I personally would package him with a good player of ours (bench) for a true point guard and be done with him. Let Italy have him.
Marbury isn't the problem.
Marbury was our best defensive PG last season, CONSISTENTLY. He didn't play good defense recently cause he got bumped hard in the thighs...I watched the game. Marbury's defense eventually picks up.
Marbury isn't scoring like he's used to because he's UNSELFISH. Marbury isn't a score first PG, if he was; Crawford, Randolph, and Curry wouldn't be averaging 20 points a game. Marbury has shared and distributed the ball better than anyone on this Knicks have this season. Thats a FACT; from my assessment of watching the games.
If you're tired of seeing Marbury get "burned", then what about our two worst defenders in Crawford and Curry? They've been brutal on defense ever since they came here till NOW.
Wrong, once again. Marbury has elite agility, strength, power and quickness, with one of the best body compositions, assist machines and scoring machines you can find at the PG position. Marbury has had 11 different coaches in 9-10 years. Organizations and management haven't dealt with Marbury the best way possible and never gave him a chance.
Play smart? Billups plays with one of the most elite defenses in the NBA and 3 potential all stars. Marbury plays with a roster that changes up every 3 seconds cause Isiah is trading guys left and right. Billups was a chucker himself and is still a chucker. Its terrible, just a terrible comparision when you compare guys on superior teams to guys on inferior teams on terms of success. Of course...you would probably make a dumb ass argument that Derek Fisher > Marbury.
Personally, you're opinion doesn't matter. You haven't watched enough Knicks games season(to realize Marbury's ability was caged by Larry Brown, and it took a while to finally get comfortable within Isiah's system; once Marbury got comfty, he was hitting big shot 3's, playing top 3 defense at his position and leading the team to close games) to have a fair clear unbias assessment on this whole situation.
Everything is personal. You don't like Marbury, we understand that. But just STFU and keep your personal opinion as far away from the facts, because they're both distant apart from each other, very distant.
I bashed Marbury when he first got here in the first two seasons; but last season changed my whole view on Marbury, and other real Knick fans too.
Nate Robinson running the point guard position? God damn, this forum has gone mad.
This is obvious here, New York needs a scapegoat, if they fail once again. Marbury is that guy. Defensively, Crawford and Curry are the worst players. Turnovers, Crawford and Curry are known to be very turnover prone.
I'll only give dap to Jamal for building muscle mass and driving to the basket more.
A lot of heads are confused on this situation.
Obviously the Isiahsexuals will follow Isiah, no matter what. It could be baby Jesus versus Isiah Lord Thomas...Isiahsexuals will be calling for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ before they ever turn on Isiah. Its really sick how much of a hold Isiah has on your balls, he's in total PR control...thats why Dolan has Isiah as GM. Isiah has been a failure as a GM and as Coach and as a president, but he keeps the heat away from Dolan as best as anyone can. Isiah knows how to sell propoganda to the media and fans, and create excuses and scapegoats.
Fuck Isiah.
Fuck the media.
Fuck the Isiahsexuals.
We should let these cancers go before letting a well rounded PG, and a top 10 PG like Stephon Marbury go like Stephon.
Man, Isiah sure did trade a lot to get Marbury too. Now this shit? Excuse my language, but its a situation I'm not very happy with.
