This is becoming ridiculous. Game after game he is our best player. Yet the Knicks never give him the ball when he is hot. There are never any real plays called for him. Other teams can not contain Q yet we never go to him.

Q needs to be our number one option. The guy scores at will and he can put other teams defenders in foul trouble.

Q could possibly average in the 20's with enough plays called for him.

he is a better low post option than curry.

Q could avg 20 and we could actually win more games. He is shooting at a high percentage.

Q doesn't need many plays called for him. He is NOT a go to guy. He'll have the occasional one on one post up, but isn't that what Curry is for?

He'll get plenty of points no matter what, if he just continues to work hard. He is being utilized perfectly. If you saw him as a go to player, I think you'd start hating him.

I'm not an Isaiah fan, but Q is making the Thomas for Q and the pick that got us Nate look real good.

Doesn't look like they run too many plays after half time.

You're absolutely right he needs more plays. I'll take it a step further and say why doesn't Q get more touches period - I don't even need full plays, lets move the ball and let it go through a guy that the other team will actually be scared of shooting the ball.

Let Q give it to Eddy in the Post and work a little inside/outside game as opposed to someoe like Starbury and his terrible jumper.

terrible jumper? while he is a bad interior passer, he's far from a terrible shooter.

I wish you were right, but unfortunately Marbury consistently shoots in the low 40% from the field and he's actually quite effective when he goes to the hoop (make or foul) factoring that in his jump shot percentage is astonishingly low.

But to put it more simply, do you mean to tell me that you're confident when Marbury shoots the ball? After watching him throughout his career and now closely in New York I can tell you I'm not. Most would agree that Marbury is not one of the better jump-shooting point guards in the league. His strength and ability to penetrate is what makes him a good scoring point guard.

Q is getting opportunities and plays are run for him. The problem we have is that the PGs do not make good decisions as to who should get the ball. This team lacks the ability to consistently pass the ball around and make good entry passes. Often times, Q is open down low and the PG fails to make the extra pass or the correct pass to get him the ball.

Because we would be the same team with the same record but Q would score more points. The offense is not the problem.
I just hope that people will like me
