Down 4...Marb passes up a wide open 7 ft shot.
Marbury has been missing FTs and passing up on last minute shots all season. Whats the deal with that?

I think Marbury felt he wasn't getting the calls - getting fouled and going to the line is a big part of his game. Also, it looked like Crawford was hot toward the end of the game, so he might've been deferring to Crawford.

He is "sharing and caring, defending and blending, gassing and passing".

I don't have any statistics, but I'm not sure Marbury's the best guy to have the ball at the end of the game anyway.

Supposedly not too serious, but he's not travelling with the team to Orlando.

We won't know how serious for sure until they do an MRI. He could still easily have a full ACL tear and not be playing even this time next season. All we can do is hope that that's not the case.

They say it's a sprained ligament. Hopefully that is true!

Bosh is 10X better than Frye and Frye really held his own. Obviously didn't shut him down, but he did good.

I am starting to hate the backcourt of Francis and Marbury, and kinda hope that THEY BOTH get traded. I love Crawford, but he's so inconsistent. I'd take Mike James over all 3 of them, as well as Nate and the 2 Qs.

What does Crawford do that Steve and Steph don't do? I just don't understand how anyone could like Jamal more than the other two.

Frye had his best game in a while and now he will be out the rest of the year.
When I saw the play, i thought for sure it was the ACL. On the replays, it looked like maybe it was just a hyperextension and sprain. It did not like his Knee twisted during impact, sooo.....

The Marbury play with 10 seconds did not Lose the game for them but showed his mentality. He is afraid to take the last shot. He was totally open and should have shot the ball.

Francis looks bad. At least Craw, Nate, Lee, Woods are playing Brown ball. They are trying really hard. Marbs tries when he wants to and when he wants to he can defend ok.

I hate losing to Toronto!

Let's get James. He has the right attitude to win and to play in NYC.

Trade Francis and Marbury, get a legit PF. Let Rose and Woods play the 3.

james/Qrich/Craw/Nate
Rose/Woods
New PF/Lee
Curry/Frye/Butler/James

i always looked at Francis as another trade commodity anyway... i'd love to see them both traded & let Crawford & Nate a chance to gel in the backcourt... they seem to have a good synergy from their old days of playing HS ball together in Seattle... & Nate really gets Jamal's blood pumping w/his enthusiasm... i'm sick of watching overpaid, spoiled "star" players that can't buy into a team concept.

it's 1 thing to defer to a hot teammate when he's got it going, but when you're wide open in the lane 7 feet away from the basket, you take the shot, end of story... you don't do what Steph did & pass the ball behind his back w/some stupid no-look & almost end up turning the ball over... did you see how Jamal was completely caught off guard w/that pass cuz he assumed Steph was gonna take the shot?... Marbury's simply gutless when it comes to taking the big shot... star players are supposed to step up to the challenge & embrace the pressure... he doesn't do that.

James scores 30+ points and Marbury is accused of not playing defense and being a cancer and blahblahblah etc, etc...

Bosh scores 30+ points and Frye is praised for doing a decent job on Defense and playing Brown basketball.

frye's defense may be the worst i have ever seen from a big man on the knicks since i have been watching them ('87).

he had some blocks but they were weakside...which is still good. i'm not going to discredit that but bosh, charlie v, hedo turkoglu, etc. all have their way with him.

I didn't see the game but in defense of Frye a litle bit, defense is almost always a bit of an issue with rookies.
