The 37 pt Sac game was the equivalent of a pitcher throwing a perfect game for 8 2/3 innings and then giving up a solo homer to lose the game 1 to 0. I would just pat thie pitcher on the back and say "Sorry our hitters let you down today." I wouldn't kill the pitcher for the solo home run.
Not at all. The Sac game for Marbury in baseball would be a pitcher throwing a perfect game through the 8and 2/3rd, deciding he doesnt want to pitch to the last guy for whatever reason. Then the relief pitcher comes in and gives up a Walk off solo HR on the first ball. Now no one says, that pitcher is a loser, we are saying we would rather let the pitcher pitch the 9th because on that night, he had the best chance of any other pitcher to win the game!
thanks. I had a feeling the analogy would frustrate a few people...
Since I dont sit in front of the computer all day, I didnt have the time to respond, but you analogy is not even close. It just shows how much you misunderstood anyone who said Marbury should've taken the last shots in the Sac game.
The JAZZ game: Marbury took 2 shots at the end of the game and won it for us! Now thats finishing what he started. Making the shot is important but my point was it should be HIM taking the last shots and no anyone else. I would rather him take the last shot and miss it cause he has the best chance of any Knick, especially on nights like the game in Sac when he was on fire.
