If it didn’t work in Phoenix with Nash and Stoutamire... it’s just not a winning formula. It’s an entertaining formula, but not a winning one. - Derek Harper talking about D'Antoni's System

I absolutely find it funny as hell. I want this clown gone no more IT. I'm tired of in season experiments especially when there will be no results later on.

i'm not sure what the complaint is about when the Heat were scoring at will on the Knicks' starting 5 early on in the game... i watched White Chocolate break Steph down off the dribble at least 5 times & Haslem was knocking down wide open shots cuz D Lee was too slow to rotate back on his man before IT started putting in guys like Balkman, Mardy & Jones... Isiah tried to get some defensive players in the game & the net result was they held the Heat to 37 points at the half... why not go back to the same formula in the 2nd half & hope that the hot shooting from the Knicks that ended the 1st half that got them back the lead would continue? i don't have a problem w/Isiah changing strategies tonight, especially when they were missing 1 of their best offensive players... they lost a close game, but i can't lay that one on him... the Knicks had the lead w/40 seconds left & the ball in their hands & Marbury committed a very costly T/O... is that Isiah's fault? at least Marbury was man enough to accept responsibility for that in his postgame comments, which is something i've been wanting to see from him for the longest (accepting accountability for his own failures).

Actually an apologetic Marbury is one that means he is cooked. the arrogance is what fueled him and now that he is born again and he physical abilities due to age have diminished he is really on the decline.
Perhaps had he worked a bit on fundamentals he could have become a smarter player and changed his game in his older years.
Isiah bet the ranch on this one and lost big.
