When Larry Brown gives Marbury a complement, you know things will keep getting better. He isnt the type of coach that will shy away from being critical of a player. If he is praising someone, you know its well deserved and it will most probably continue. I say Marbury can easily keep playing at this level. I wonder what all the Marbury doubters will come up with? The Knicks are winning and they are winning cause Marbury is playing well!

"I remember early in the year teams would make a run at us and right away you could tell by our body language that inevitably we thought we were going to lose," Brown said following yesterday's practice in Greenburgh. "I think there has been a big change there and I think a lot of it is you see Stephon (Marbury), he doesn't look like he's losing any confidence. They feel like we'll find a way to win."

Marbury has regained his All-Star form during the streak, leading Brown to say, "He's playing like a point guard, a high-level point guard."

Howard Becks Article in the times mentions this too: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/01/13/sports/basketball/13knicks.html

now it's as if every game really means something, if they lose, out come the haters, so the kool aid (or was it something new?) drinkers root now more than ever for a win!
