1st of all I'm not happy with how Steph is handling all this. HOWEVER, to start this game there were equal culprits in the team falling behind by so much. It wasn't Steph alone. Just look at all the point blank misses by Curry, TO's by other guys on the floor, lack of motion, lack of effort on D. Those things are about more than just one guy.
The thing is tho, that this is starting to have an effect on Steph mentally. I saw him clearly not trying to be involved on offense other than passing the ball. He had REALLY BAD body language and that's just unacceptable.
The problem is that there will be no deals for Steph! Let's just get that straight. The Knicks can't make a trade of a player performing this poorly. So let's just get that out of the discussion. What we have to do is figure out what to do about his continued problems at home. How can we get him to just play, like Francis has been doing. He's running the offense, but also finding ways to score and be aggressive. I see no reason why Steph can't do the same thing. It's up to him to figure that out and get a feel for when to pass and when to go. He's not going anywhere, so Isiah and Steph have to work this out.
the marbury phenomenon is only just becoming apparent to you, but many of us believe it's been lurking behind the scenes for years now. and if it hasn't worked itself at by now, under his dream coach, and under a system you insisted would benefit the guards most, it's probably not gonna happen soon, or with any kind of finality.
he's too much of a distraction, always has been, and at every stop in his career. do you get that now?
get him out with a bad trade (just don't add payroll, youth or picks) if you have to, or waive him.
