Why can't this dude play like this every night? He is at his best when he is composed and run the ofense as well as many of know that he can. Some nights he plays so selfishly, it is absurd. He did a very horrible job versus the Magic the other night, he failed to get his players involved. Perhaps Isiah had talked to him after that game, but whatever was said to him has registered. I understand that guys have to make shots to get assists, but it is still Marb's job to set his people up. He has to make a constant effort at distributing the ball, especially to guys with a hot hand.

We are an excellent team when Marb collects 10 or more assists per game....and horrible when he takes a vacation from that department..

its quite simple and I think you'll agree. Steph was looking for Sweetney & Taylor tonight inside not Kurt Thomas for a jumpshot all the time or Nazr for a brick. He's going to look a lot better now as a PG with taylor and sweetney to pass to instead of nazr and kurt.

Lets kinda chill out here. Yes Mo T had a good game but he's not a god. Mo T is not a answer downlow, hes a nice player but to say that Marbury will have no problem getting assists becuase hes throwing the ball to *gasp* Mo Taylor *gasp* is nuts. Great game for Marbury and Mo T tonite though, can't forget about Sweets first quarter either.

I agree, 100% but I think the point was that a pass to Mo Taylor for a 5 footer inside has a higher percentage of being an assist than a pick and roll with KT resulting in a 15 foot KT jumper.

I agree with all of you, but Marb needs to get smarter as a PG. He has to mix it up some, which is the only way for him to be effective. I know that he has to learn the guys that are around him, granted that I will not blame him much because in the beginning, the idea was to have him, Crawf or Houston as our main scorers. The mind set was a little different. However, things have changed now with the low post scorers that we have, and Marb has to adjust to them.

Note: Crawf should be restricted or demoted as a scoring option. He is too careless with his shots, and should be restricted as a shooter until he learns how to value his attempts. As it is right now, I think that our scorers should be as follow: Marb, TT, Sweet, Kurt, and Crawf. If Crawf has the hot hands, by all means supply him with shots.
