Thank you.

I think once you lighten up and take a step back from 7 years of your team losing you will realize that Islesfan is one of the funnier people on the board. Stop taking him so dam-n serious.

Islesfan: Keep up the good work, you keep me laughing(and crying) on a regular basis.

True, i know what you're talking about here & the point that some overly sensitive Marbury supporters seem to miss is that no one is bashing on Marbury's demonstrated effort this season... the problem is just how far is he going to take this team playing the way he is & doing what he does best, which is scoring the basketball? he's not close to a Kobe Bryant or Michael Jordan, & even neither of those guys could get anywhere w/o another superstar player alongside them, so what do you guys expect to get out of watching Marbury putting up 30 or 40 a night & losing? what does that do for the future of this franchise? shouldn't the longterm goal be developing our youth? Mardy Collins showed he's got some game & can play successfully alongside Curry if given the opportunity... Jamal's proven the same... if we're going to center this team around Curry, then we need to be giving those guys more of an orchestrator's role on this team... we can't have Marbury taking most of the scoring load on his shoulders because that's when Curry gets disinterested & struggles to find his game... if Curry is the go to plan longterm, then we need guys who can get the ball downlow effectively handling the ball, not perimeter scorers who don't know how to make a low post entry pass... otherwise, scrap the whole Curry plan & let Marbury do his thing alongside a bigman who complements his game more & can play off the pick & roll.

I think it's a typical NY, rebuild while trying to fill the seats mentality. marbs has been fantastic this year but our focus needs to be on the future.

Marbury hasn't been fantatstic, he's been up and down and not a distraction. Give him the medal of honor for this.(rolling eyes)

Acutally I think he has done a very good job. I will say that "this year" is wrong and instead should say "the past 50 games". In the past 50 games he's given us solid D, solid O and some leadership. He's played hard and I credit him for this even if that is what he is supposed to do. What's wrong with that?
I credit DLee for playing hard too even though that's what he's supposed to do.

I'm just being fair to Marbs. I criticized him his entire career. These past 50 games he's done a good job. I'm not going back on that.

TMS I like your new posting style. Just pound away on a point til people start to grasp it. Trust me I can respect this style :)

They'll get it sooner or later. Continue the good fight.

both of y'all are nets fans. get a room.

dj T.J. Ford next yr will be a Top3 point gaurd. He just needs to stay healthy and get a little stronger. It so interesting how you can look at other teams and say positive things without even questioning yourself, meanwhile with the Knicks we are bewildered and 100% uncertain.

it's probably b/c we don't really have a leader out on the court, and the skillsets of our guys just don't mesh. marbury, crawford and nate like to dribble to create their own shot. the ball movement of this group is quite poor. then you have our bigs, who rely on the guards, and they are not benefitting offensively from them. only eddy b/c jamal knew where he liked the ball, and b/c the rest of our guards are forced to feed him every time down the court. but there's no natural flow to the offense. and that really starts with our guards.

it's just that colangelo comes into town, gets 9 new relatively cheap players, makes one big trade (charlie for tj) and they just are clicking on all cylinders. i guess it will take time here but with our guards, i just don't see it really ever happening.
