33, 23, 33, 23. That's our record over the past 4 years. People have to stop thinking we need Steph to win. We need Steph to leave.

I don't see how this doesn't improve the Knicks. I read some argument, but most know this is a good thing and the attitude he's finally displaying is the attitude he should displayed all along. Every team Marbury left *improved* after he left, in a way, that's what's happening now. I also think his me-first attitude and the luxuries he's afforded but hasn't earned negatively affect his teammates, as you're only as good as your best plyaer, not your best talent. So let's enjoy history repeating itself.
And, true, many players will be tired now as many of the guards have yet to get serious burn. New players are also getting heavy PT for the time, and they'll be tired too. The funny thing about that is they're young. They'll develop endurance. They'll get some time to rest come the All Star break because, well, the Knicks aren't likely to send anyone to the game.

SupremeCommander - don't be surprised if Nate makes the All Star Game fo' real. Less noisily and steadily, the young man has become a consistent performer. Once Gallinari finds his voice the Knicks second unit of Chandler, Jeffries, Danilo G, Collins and Mister Dynamite (Nate) could pose some significant matchup problems. Let my people run. once a knick always a knick

Hello, My Name Is...
People are missing the solid guard play from Crawford (29 pts/4 reb/4 asst 4 turnovers) , Nate (13 pts/3 reb/7 asst 0 turnovers) and Duhon (9 pts/3 reb/ 3 asst 2 turnovers) - who complimented one other while getting acquainted with the various shiftlines that D'Antoni ran. 14 assists against 7 turnovers (which ain't bad) can be improved upon once a knick always a knick

Holfresh, when Mike D' said don't go for pump fakes, he meant don't jump in the air to block the shot as so many people do. It leads to either a foul, or a breakdown of the defense. It's called fundamental defense. Attack the shooter aggresively but don't try to block the shot.
Holfresh, in case you didn't see the game, the Knicks played very well, without Marbury, except the last few minutes, when we needed a defensive oriented guard, like Collins. Mike D' doesn't need Marbury, so why should he play him? Marbury is just another face that is eventually gonna leave, in Mike D's vision, so what's the point in messing with the rest of his circle, just to make him and the media and certain Marbury lovers happy? There is no point. The team is above Marbury, for once, and so is D'Antoni, and he certainly does have a juice card. “Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do NOT do that thing.”- Dwight Schrute

That is very true if by the last few minutes you mean the entire fourth quarter. oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

I ask again. When in Marbs' history has he settled the team down when we weren't playing well and led us to wins???? Why would we want him in down the stretch over anyone?? They all stink down the stretch.
I just hope that people will like me

Posted by Allanfan20: Okay I forgive you  ,I think we needed a player like Marbury who could penetrate to the basket, draw fouls ,and put pressure on their defense, and player like Collins to stop Cook or whoever from doing whatever they wanted to. Our guards jacking up contested 3s and playing the usual horrendous D was not a good combo in my opinion. I think Duhon make s nice backup, but I'd rather Robinson start than he. oohah Good luck Mike D'Antoni, 'cause you ain't never seen nothing like this before!

I agree, but it shouldn't have gotton to the point where we needed to take easy shots. We needed to keep putting pressure on their shooters, and had they not been hitting those mid range and those 3s, we'd be saying "Put up more 3s to blow it open more and let the defense take care of the rest."
BTW, I'm not saying it should have been all Collins. Our entire defense was bad in the 4th, but it would have helped tremendously if we had someone pressuring the hot hands. Someone with long arms who's tall, like Collins. Regardless, Marbury is not in the rotation. Might as well make the circle guys learn to put the game away, because these are the guys D'Antoni is going to go to war with. Not Marbury. No use in making him a specialty player. Marbury is just going to have to suck it up. “Whenever I’m about to do something, I think ‘Would an idiot do that?’ and if they would, I do NOT do that thing.”- Dwight Schrute

Posted by knicks1248: i woulda been happy if we won or lost, & i'm not a hater... it's about building an identity for the future... IMO Marbs has no place in that future vision therefore there's no point in having him play... & i don't buy for a second that was an order from someone to have Marbury get a DNP... that was Mike D'Antoni's decision plain & simple... he doesn't see Marbs in the Knicks' future plans at the G position... he's going w/the guys he feels fit into his future plans at the G position... this is really pretty simple, not sure why everyone's trying to take apart & analyze Mike D's motives behind this one as if there was some kinda sinister plot to ruin Marbury's reputation & career at work here. After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.
