Lets not bring up that he is 24, you should know when you are taking terrible shots, and points are only half the story, sometimes he finds his teamates and sometimes he doesn't but one thing is for certain almost every game he is no where to be found on the defensive end....He is too small and is going to get pushed around vs. a good number of teams........

When he goes we go, but when he struggles we lose for the most part

lets not forget we got this guy to be our "slasher, cutter get to the rim guy" anyone seen any of that? all i see is shake and bake, crossover, crossover, shoot. hes getting to the line an average of 3 times per game 3. hell even houston made it to the line an average of 3.5 times last year.

lenny needs to bench his ass when he starts chucking, wait leny cant cayse he needs every win he can to save his job. plus you dont want to make the boss angry by benching his #1 acquisition.

hey he's 24

He's done a good job of setting up teammates with his own scoring. If you really want to take a closer look check out the box scores from his 'bad' games. My guess is you will see most of those games Marbury wasnt taking a lot of shots because of doubles, TT didnt show up, KT's jumper wasnt falling, etc. My point is you can swarm Marbury and take him out of the offense. Then Crawford is the next option. The problem is if the other guys arent hitting shots then your going to see Crawford keep firing away. Until the Knicks do a better job of establishing a post game I dont see what other options we have. The only guy that scores down low is Sweetney. KT and Nazr's offense all comes off the guard play.

For the most part I see Crawford's chucking as a problem with the offense overall. Crawford's taking a ton of shots isnt because he's a me-first player. If you think that your not watching close enough
