Anyone that doesn't know the difference in the importance of a point guard (floor general) and a man who gets the ball thrown to him for a lay up doesn't know basketball. If the coach is looking for "leadership" and someone to be an extention of himself on the court it starts wit Marbury. Even Q Rich said that "people" need to RUN THE PLAYS COACH IS CALLING FOR. I doubt he's talking about Curry when he is accusing people of "breaking the plays". That's the opposite of leadership when you start getting selfish. Point guard CONTROLS the tempo and the whole 9. Not rocket science.
Defense and leadership. Something that Duncan and KG offer by the boatload.
Do they play PG? I didn't think so.
Do you think the PG play would be helped if Curry played defense and knew how to defend a pick and roll? I think so.
isles- its this extreme stuff that I can't agree with- don't know where your going
curry is younger than marbury- and I think the key thing is there isn't someone on the bench that is nearly as good talent wise able to expend the effort to be effective.
I also think Marbury isn't running plays he's been told to run- is it stupidity, lack of focus? Either way, I think Isiah is trying to make marbs stronger.
