I've had it with most of you on this marbury debate. Its just marbury finally broke the silence and went off on coach in public just like brown has been doing all year. The stuff I have been saying since the first 5 game losing streak he basically said in his recient quotes in the media.
"freedom"
That's what marbs says Ernie bickerstaff gives his point guards after the loss to the bobcats. A rookie at that.
On brown:
"I felt my game and how he wanted to play should be intertwined. It shouldn't be one way."
"you have to come to a compromise. You can't out 12 personalities in a gay and deal all as one. You have to deal with every personality individually and come up with a concept that everyone understands what they should do"
"I can definately work with coach. He has to understand how I feel and I understand how he feels. I'm willing to bend. I proved that at the begining of the year. I came in completely vulnerable. I said ill do whatever he wants me to do."
I've said it before. What the hell is browns problem. He wants players that will play the way he wants them to play. That's fine and dandy but at least try to make something work with what you have. He has been playing around with his line-up all year. I could of done that.
One thing above all is that there clearly is no dialog between the coach and the players. When brown says stuff the players are shocked. Ariza was denied a meeting with the coach? All this drama for what?
Basketball is a game. In any league pro or otherwise. The coaches responsibility is to get the players he has to win. Everyone has there own philosophy but that has to be able to change to fit what you have.
Brown wants guys that move the ball and play defense. Duh. How else are you gonna win at basketball. The players know that. The knicks have a lot of serious talent but the have no idea what they should be doing on the court. That is a coaching fault.
The word is now marbury should be traded. For the life of me I don't know why brown is still here. Its a crying shame what he has been allowed to do in such a short amount of time. I have no formal coaching experience and I bet I can do a better job.
Eny, I don't get it man. Brown's tactics have worked EVERYWHERE he has been. Same gameplan: Defense, Rebounding, teamwork, heart.
This is Marbury's gameplan: Get Starbury 20 point & 8 rebounds and to hell with making your teammates better or playing defense. Marb had 1 really good playoffs against the Spurs and I am thinking that he was pretty lucky to have Matrix and a young Amare to back him up.
And you want to switch to Marbury's strategy of how to win and not Brown's?
