1. Isiah get his his best defensive player back and plays zone the 2 games he starts. You cant play a zone against a good NBA team for too long.
2. When was the last time a guard got into foul trouble in a game? Lee, Curry, JJ, Frye spend most of the day with guards penetrating and giving opposing teams bigs easy buckets. The knicks cant keep guard out of the lane in a zone.
3. What will Isiah do at the end of a close game? You cant have two bad free throw shooters on the floor at once. Curry stays, and what do you do with Jeffires?
4. Will Isiah ever bench Steph or go down with him?

well, don't get me wrong, he has been trying hard, but he can't play defense in terms of thinking beyond "chase my guy around", they use his inablity to think beyond that against him and I see him running at open jump shooters more than once.

Which brings me to the zone, he has no idea what to do in Zone defense (old dog, new tricks), most of the team is young and has played zone in college, so they know the zone like the back of their hands, that's why we play it well when marbury is on the bench.

When he's out there, look to see how many open 3's their are...that's the point's responsibility.

It's a shame, but zeke (so it seems) is hoping marbury either starts to score more points (e.g. whenever Nate makes a bone head play, he scores and gets the points right back) or get's smarter either by watching films or listening to his coaches.

I like marbury, but he's beginning to show more and more that he's an over paid 12/3 player.

Isiah will do what Isiah will do. His rotations are almost as goofy as LBs
I LOVED how Curry just exploded in the 4th, speaking as a fan of the Raptors, Curry looked well, scary I think is the word. Or Shaq-like Curry: 19.1ppg-7.3rpg-58%fg

Are they really that goofy? I don't think that had much to do with it. QRich has been logging many minutes and to lose him must have been a shock. No Francis, no qrich and for the most part no marbury.

Crawford got his...

Honestly, still not too concerned looking at the standings.

THe only thing that gets me mad is that Isaish plays an offensive team that isn't ofensive at all. And it's because of Marbury not carrying his load. Look people can talk about what they think is a good team or whatever, but how many "Stars" in the League get 40-60 points out of their starting lineups minus their scoring??? HOw many times do you think Kobe has gotten 25 out of Odom, 20 out Byunm and 15 out Smush....... and lost!!! I mean Marbury get's about 45 points a night out of just Q, Curry and Lee, And still does nothing. Where is the star who goes for 30 a night on this team??? Where is the guy who is better then anybody he plays against???? Our team is suppose to be out scoring teams in Isiahs mind, but not only do they give alot of points.................... we don't even hold up the offensive end of the court.

I watch to see will isiah finally say,"Have Marbury is terrible and Curry is getting tripled... why not go Defensive/pressure"??? WHY not??? WHy not put in Crawford, Balkman, JJ2, Lee and Curry, guys who will sell out on defense then get the ball CUrry on Offense??? HOw many times did I see CUrry get Foster on his back and the pass from marbury come 5 seconds later when foster is set and the pacers are set because he can't make a bouce pass!!!! Protecting marbury is killing the team.......

And in my mind it is killing Crawford. This guy has sooo much pressure to score because of Marbury. When if he was on another team, he would be on sportsCenter every night because he would be killing teams as the second or third option........ he is the number one option on the perimeter on this team!!!!
