and you don't think his comments motivated the nets to come in to MSG and clean up??
Please- Marbs, shut up and play the game.
"I'm just happy to be where I am, compared to the likes of Kidd, Nash and others- I just have to focus on going out every night and winning"
that would have been the perfect quote. He motivated their team without motivating ours.
I think you are wrong. I think the Knicks just played poorly and the Nets played well. The Nets didnt really try and take it to Stephon. They were not really fueled by that statement.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.

regardless of whether or not it looked like jersey played harder because of the press, ny played flat... you can't rule out that the press has something to do with ny's consistantly inconsistent play.

John Stockton never said he was the best point guard in the NBA. Michael Jordan, I don't recall too many times him saying he was the best player, Magic Johnson. You know, not too many guys come out and say they're the best,'' Jefferson said. ``J-Kidd has been the No. 1 point guard in the NBA for as long as I've been here, and never once has he said he's the best.''
Obviously Starbury still has some growing up to do.
JAMES DOLAN on Isiah : He's a good friend of mine and of the organization and I will continue to solicit his views. He will always have strong ties to me and the team.
