i highly doubt if you had watched the game, you'd be blaming Steph at all for that loss last night... the only reason the Knicks were even in the game was because he kept hitting big shots throughout the game to keep it close, & in the end he took over & drove them back to take the lead... missing the foul shot was a tough break, cuz as much as i've criticized the guy in the past, i really felt bad for him last night cuz he left his heart out on the floor last night.

this is a game i would blame Curry & Jefferies for missing their foul shots & not being aggressive all game long, & i won't defend them against any one who wants to take shots at Curry today... & where the hell did Channing Frye go? he's about as soft a player as i've seen wearing a Knicks' uniform in a long time... they were leaving him WIDE open all game long & he didn't want to take a shot after he missed a couple early... completely useless last night.

How many times I gotta tell you. Yes, no I did not see the game, but I don't need to see the game to comment. And I'll ask you a question. You keep talking about how the greatest player on earth carried the team on his back, but what about the free throw? Huh? Can you talk about that? I want to hear the excuse on that one.

There has to start being some level of reasonableness when it comes to this guy.

I already tried that.

This is great. This is the slow class post and 4949 is the kid who keeps raising his hand to say something absolutely pointless.

You mean 'low class post' don't you? I"m proud of my low class post and stand by it all the way. I can't stand starbury, let's make that clear, and I can't wait for that piece of low class bum to be thrown off of this team. He's a phony and you know it! Let's talk about the key free throw missed, by the guy who carries this team on his back, why don't we, huh?

first of all, calm down cuz if u've been reading any of my posts u'd know i'm not even close to Marbury's biggest fan around here... but unlike you, i did watch last night's game, & take my word for it, he played his heart out... the game wasn't lost because of his missed FT... the game was lost because other guys failed to step up.

Definitely bro. I'm with you T. The guy left it all out there on the court. What do you guys want him to do? He played great... I was proud of him and felt really bad for him when that damn FT didn't go down...

Sorry, I'm calm now. I just don't know man. Three assists, in forty plus minutes? A few people around here make the assumption that when starbury tried to feed the ball inside, the others failed to execute. If that is true, then why doesn't it happen with Crawford, or Francis. I don't see them scoring 40 points, and close to no assists. They distribute the ball pretty good themselves. Besides, the issue isn't wether he played his heart out. The point is, did he really get his teamates involved? Based on what I saw from him in the past, I'd have to say no way. The function of a guard is to set things up for others, to keep the ball from coming into the paint if possible on D and to feed the ball more evenly to your taller guys, to get the assists, as well as score when the opportunity arrives. I don't give two craps about his heart. I want to know if the guy got the others into the game and still, I have asked abotu that free throw. No one's responded to it yet! Why not? It is monumental to who he is or is supposed to be. He did not live up to who he is supposed to be. Guys like Kobe, Iverson, Wade, Carmelo, LeBron get they're 30 to 40, and get those assists in. That says a lot. It's not the first time starbury has shown this. The point I'm making is, I don't want him to carry the team on his back. No one asked him to. He's not capable of that. What I want is the man to get his teammates involve in the offense here. I don't see it in the stats, even though I didn't see the game. But like I said, it is typical of his style of play. We don't need starbury to step up and take over the damn game. We need him to step up and set his players up to score, and score as well also. If I have seen about 30 points from starbury and if he had about six or seven assists, then I'd say he did good as a team player. I woud be able to see that. I know it's not his teammates fault, because of the very low turnovers we had. When Crawford and Francis are in the game, I/we don't see this happen. It doesn't mean we win those games either, but it's more about the principle of what I am saying. When I see everything being about starbury, how he carried the team' then I don't buy it. He does not impress me at all. I'd still like to hear about the 'key missed free throw'. Anyone care to explain why the great 'played his heart out' did not convert when it really counted, when we really needed it? It's not the first time folks. Wake up and smell the coffee! Stop fooling yourselves.

If he's going to be the leader on the floor, if he's going to score all of the points, then I want to see him win the game, especially when he has a chance.

Look what LeBron just did. 41 points, 8 assists and 7 rebounds. Got his whole team involved at the same time too and even won the game!

4949 wants to talk about a missed free throw in a game he never saw.

In response to him and this free throw? I think everyone is bummed about it but let the free throw thing go cuz if it weren't for marbs the knicks wouldn't have even been in the game to begin with. Knicks miss craws scoring and marbs has been stepping up. Passing to teamates? Sure but the rest of the team was flat and marbs was the only one stepping up. Is that his fault? Maybe but how would you know if you didn't see the game.

The rest of the board seems to be ignoring this thread. How bout a lock?

One more response before the lock, if that's' the way it's going to be!

Keep it up and I might not watch anymore games and comment, comment, comment on everything. You'll love that! No need to get funny about whether I watched the game or not. I guess reading about it isn't good enough. Should I discredit anyone who comes here, having read about something regarding the Knicks? I dont think that would be fair. I just wanted to see someone face up to the missed free throw. You said your bummed. Good.

I guess reading about it isn't good enough.

Definitely the most accurate statement you've made on this thread.

oohah

This thread is 100% like that SportsCenter commercial. Where the guy and his wife are talking to the camera and it looks like an ad for a male sexual enhancement product but its really about the guy saying nonsensical things about sports and his cure... watching SportsCenter.

4949, you've been talking sports outta your err... 'lack of information' again.

The true lack of information is the fact that you don't even know who your talking too. I came to make a point about Mr. lack of talent. The fact is, myself and a few others are the only ones who get it!
