What's an escape goat?

Are you being serious with this ?

I think he's poking fun at your terminology. Since I can't tell if you're kidding or not, it's supposed to be SCAPEGOAT, not ESCAPEGOAT.

LMFAO It's a Spoof on Steph as a poster has linked with Youtube. I thought everyone on this board was already familiar that this BUFFOON said this in the media. I can't believe Elite didn't know this. It's no wonder you have fans still sticking up for him.


Where's BlueSeats when you need him

Oh really? Damn, I've never seen it, Rich must not have either or else, I'm sure he wouldn't have said anything.

Edit: LOL Evil, missed it before. Thats hilarious. Remember that quote about Marbury not attending an engineering school? I'm pretty sure its true.

How can you blame Steph for Jones scoring all those points when he wasn't even guarding him for many of those? Also Steph didn't force his game, when he knew that he was off. He instead made sure that FRYE WHO WE NEED TO GET IT TOGETHER, had a good game. But you guys don't want to recognize anything good in him. He had 7 assists and for the most part kept the ball moving, unlike Jamal who's been dribbling the air out of the ball, not passing or playing team ball and jacking up bad shots all season, but no one seems to care about that as much.

Oh God. So it's not Channing's skill that made him have a good game? It's Steph? Steph is so skilled he can literally pull 17 and 9 from Channing-and only Channing- while playing like crap himself?

Please, can you just admit that Steph is part of the problem, just once?

WHOA, did I say that Steph made Frye hit those shots and grab rebounds? I only pointed out that he made sure that Frye got plenty of good looks and that gave him a chance to get untracked. I also never said that Steph wasn't part of the problem. You just need chill OUT. The guy has an off shooting night and instead of jacking up shot after shot, he instead passes the ball and that's what he's supposed to do. The thing is that it's not HIS FAULT the team lost, so why try to make him out the be the reason? There is plenty of blame to go around, including isiah for not having Lee in there at the end for his rebounding.

I think the correct term is "Excape Goat"

LOL no it's SCAPEGOAT....... not Exscape Goat or ESCAPEGOAT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scapegoat

This thread is embarrassing I can't believe how many here are stumbling over this one.

Now your missing the boat on his joke! lol. The wonders of sarcasm over the internet.

I think the point is Marbury calls it a "escape goat" not a scapegoat.

I think it's classist and elitist to make fun of someone mispronouncing a word.

Pretty low.

It's amazing how far this thread went over some people's heads.

But you gotta admit this is advanced material.

He's provided us with so much over his NBA career.

Oh relax. Starbury has already won in the game of life.

I doubt he cares anyway. English is not even his hobby.

I think Marbury needs to "escape" out of here...

I do believe Marb was guarding Jones when he first checked in and then Nate was put on him... if Marb stayed with his man OR decided that he could get Jones out of the game by beating him off the dribble, the game may have been very different.

hold up hold up tho.... Steph played some really good D... im not joking either... a bunch of big steals... and he hustled... so dont totally kill him on this one.. plus he really moved the ball.. if he makes that 3 he played a great game

Dude, when you yell at a teammate for something that was terrible that you did, you get a F- in my book.

I cant argue this... i agree with you, that was bad... but when i saw him he was hustlin on D and coming up with steals... had some good assists etc... dah well... what can ya do
