18 games, 19.4ppg, 6.7apg, 3.8rpg, 3.56tpg, *.365 FG%*, *.276 FT%*, 3.3 Pf/g

Now you're just making things up; I don'y believe for one second that he's shot 27.6% from the free throw line in his playoff career.

The other numbers all look great except the field goal percentage

Maybe it was 27.6% from 3?

Maybe; I have no idea what the number is from. It looks like TECHNOMASTER just made it up. I can't imagine Marbury shooting 27 percent from the free throw line in his playoff career. He actually shot 73% from the line in his young playoff career. I guess those numbers are very close and could easily be confused

Bigsmooth: It looks like Marbury schooled Parker (and Parker was just lucky to have Duncan to carry the team)

My bad, I got distracted earlier and had a typo. I took my numbers from NBA.com. His FT% in the playoffs is 72.5%, about 6% lower than his career season average. His 3pt% (what I meant) in the playoffs is 27.6%, down from his regular season avg of 31.5%. The point I was making is that his numbers across the board are lower in the playoffs than his season averages in every major category except rebounding.

Does that mean he doesn't perform when the defense is tight? Do we blame the all of the lower numbers toward the tail end of the San Antonio series when he was nursing an injury? I don't know.

I can't see how people on this forum can think that Carter is such a bum and make it seem as if Stephon is the untouchable, perfect Knick?
Neither player has been on particularly great teams along the way, and their sample size (15games vs 18 games) is pretty similar. Both have had some injuries; while Carter has missed games due to his quad, Marbury is practically playing on robotic ankles.

Can we agree that Carter would be a much stronger option on the team than a Tim Thomas or an Allan Houston?... and likewise, wouldn't you rather have him than a Jamal Crawford? I'd give up just about anyone on the team to get Carter here.


BTW, I admit I was wrong about the San Antonio series; I remembered how he went up to Parker at the end of the series and said, "you belong..." I simply thought, "aww, what a touching moment."
