steph on nykway about moving to SG:

"i wanna play the 2 b/c then y'all can't say i'm shootin' the ball too much. now when i'm shootin' the ball, nobody can say nothin'"

sounds bitter to me..

he said it in a joking manner but yet again, he has to stop doing interviews b/c he just keeps adding to his negative stigma everytime he opens his mouth.

either say the "politically correct" stuff or don't say jack.

exactly he's a 29yr old with a 2nd graders mind and it hurts his team in games

You take the good with the bad from Steph. He's one of the most gifted scorers and passers in the game; he also says dumb things to the media. It doesn't help him that he plays in NY where the media attention is huge.

I don't want Marbury to play SG ever. It's a non sense to me. Anyway, this only can happen in New York.

I have been saying this since last season, for all of the money that Marb is making, he really needs to bring in someone to teach him some P.R. skills. The dude has all the time in the world to learn, it just kills me when I hear the sort of things that comes out of his mouth. For what it's worth, he needs to pay Gregg Anthony or Steven A. Smith some money to teach him about proper articulation.

Brown is a hell of a coach and he wants to win games.....he will have the best lineup on the court to do just that. My favorite lineup is this:
Marb, Q, Ariza, Frye, and James
Marb, Q, TT, Sweet, and James

I would experiment with this lineup also
Nate, Marb, Q, Swee, James
Nate, Marb, Q, Frye, james.

You ****ing panzies can always find something to whine about. Is this quote really a big deal?

I hate the off season.

it's a matter of attitude.
steph makes it so easy for people not to like him.
is it a big deal - probably not b/c he's at a point where he doesn't care.
but it just keeps cementing the fact that he's a "me-first" player.
i want the perception of him around the league to change - and winning will change that BUT he's not helping his cause.
i'm not distressed about it but let my oliver stone conspiracy theories run wild as the knicks, isiah, and the PR department allow him to dig his own grave in the media so it will be EASY to move him. it sounds crazy and farfetched but look at how it all is playing out. it's now STEPH's own fault if it doesn't work with LB. he would be the "uncoachable" player. LB even said "steph will not be the reason we win", "it would be a total team effort." cementing the fact that he's no longer the golden child.

it's just another little quote to put in the book. that's all.

I think I am in the minority about moving Steph to the SG AND having Craw as the starting point. First off, the shooting guard position is gonna be more prone to be killed on defense than when Allan was there. That's with Craw or Marbs there, b/c Marb never was a good defender in the first place, then put him where all the much taller guys are. Not good. Also, Craw is just too skinny to play SG on defense. He needs to be a PG. He has the skills and Larry can definitely help him out more. The guy is smart. I'd much rather we start Marbury and Q at the guard with Craw coming off the bench, or we trade Marb to even out the roster and use him to search for that young big we desperately need.

Are you kidding me. Weaker at D at the 2 spot. Hey I understand Allan's your guy but come on, don't make him more myth than man. His defense was, is and will be absolutely horrible. I always said that Spree should demand a percentage of Allan's 100 million. The ironic part of it all, is that some of the guys he had the most trouble with are now his teammates. That is what scares me the most about Houston's possible comeback is that his defense could be possibly worst.
