There is no way we win the Atlantic this year. I love our future though.

I think everyone needs to realize what they want Marbury to do. Everyone complains when he takes too many shots and then everyone will complain when he doesnt take enough. What's it going to be?


neither. MArbury is not clutch enough or tall enough or enough of a shooter to take over a game and the guys around him aren't could enough to score when he gets them the ball. Curry can't even stay on the court for 30mins.

Could be, we'll have to find out after the game.

If your team is struggling, you step up.


yeah but you can't force Marbury to be the guy to take a game over. He's too streaky a shooter. All he can do effectively is penetrate and good defenses know how to put a stop to that

the right mix, knowing what to do and when.

For instance, notice when Marbury is scoring his best setup is his drive and dish. Notice when he's in Stephyll and Hyde mode, and only distributing, it's all on the perimeter, he doesn't even penetrate to collapse the D.

He really doesn't know how to run a club and how to win. And his "energy" leaves something to be desired.


well said

We'll be up and down all year because of our streaking shooting and youth.

Yes, we need players that can take over a game. But we are growing them. Yes, we also need a sharpshooter who can cut right through any offensive collapse and get us back on track. But we can draft one. The plan isn't to be a championship team in LBYR1. We need patience, and to recognize that NO TEAM plays the way we see these Knicks playing when they do things right. Larry Brown is taking these kids waaaaaay back, and teaching them to play right. It's a lot to learn, it takes time, and they are damn young. Enjoy the rebuilding period. It will be over fast.

As for Pierce, he'd break the chemistry of this team. Forget all that passing. Forget playing the "right way". We'd have to have an extra ball on the floor for him at all times. We will be better than that in time. Just wait and see.

man I would love to have Paul Pierce at SF

we need a reliable scorer in the worst way!

"Darius Miles on line 2, Mr. Thomas."


Miles can't take over a game. most his points come on dunks. I rather have him than Ariza or Barnes. But we need someone who can take over a game more than another athletic guy who can block shots
Miles can't take over a game? He's had tons of 30+ pt games over the past 2 years. He's averaging 22/7 and he's only 22 or 23.

Marbury would also be vivisected in the press if he took 35 shots. Excuse me, 36 shots.

Marbury is playing Brown's game. He still has to learn where he's supposed to score in the flow of the offense. It's a learning process like everything else right now, he'll get there. He did have a season high in assists tonight. He'll get there and when his game is together the team will be that much better.

but frye is an inconsistent rebounder though, david lee on the other hand is the team's best rebounder and a pretty good scorer too.

EDIT: although now that I look at the boxscore frye actually did play more than 30 minutes, its nice to know that larry brown isnt so obssessed with playing vets to see the truth.
