I'm taking the approach that maybe I should just accept Marbury's character, attitude and focus more on what he can do in the D'Antoni system, no matter what he says. If his teammates and the management can stomach him, then I can to. The guy is an egotistical attention grabber, but maybe that's who he'll always be and maybe it's been wrong for me/some of us to focus mainly on his attitude and personality, rather then looking at the player.

Here are the latest top four articles that suggest that change has finally come and to see Marbury come forward and swallow his pride makes me kind of proud of the guy. FINALLY! The same sentiments as D'Antoni.

The evidence is strong (maybe even overwhelming) and to read these articles is something we haven't seen in a long, long time. If you haven't read them on the opening page, then read them here.

In the first article, D'Antoni says that 'you have to play without thinking'!

That's exactly what I been saying and once they get to that point, then this team will develop a smooth offense. Thinking too much is over load for these guys. The problem has been that 'they haven't let their bodies learn how to move, because they been setting up to much to score a basket and as we all know, this team does not finish well.

So the run, run, run, move, move, move, pass, pass and then shoot approach deters the psychological deficiencies and lets the body do what these guys are capable of, because after all, most of them are 'athletes'. It's fundamental that the Knicks have forgotten how to do a long, long time ago.

I believe that because we have been such a 'defensive minded' franchise all these years, it has translated over to our offense in 'over' setting up shots. In other words, it's like a MLB batter going into a hitting slump for 20 years. We always had great defensive teams, but we never could get over that hump to hit that game winning shot. Not even the years we were knocking on the door, because their bodies didn't learn how to move.

I know to some of you, it won't make any sense to 'what the **** I'm talking about' but that's why it's psychological.

As a matter of fact, once they learn how to move again, then the thinking will come into it's own. Questions please?
