Marbury: I'll play my way

Postby MetalHead on Mon Mar 13, 2006 12:06 am

CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- It's probably the last thing Larry Brown wants to hear from Stephon Marbury, but last night the point guard said his efforts to change his game have not produced positive results and he is planning to go back to being Starbury -- the shoot-first, attack-the rim, 20-point-a-game scorer who has been a missing person this year.

That's true. And there's a good chance that Nate, Starbury, Francis and Brown will to the death one of these days, which is always a plus.

This is one of the reasons the Knicks suck so bad.

Attitudes like that. (N)

They are really fucked, thats for sure. Marbury needs to go elsewhere, Francis too. Same with Crawford, Rose and pretty much everyone cept Curry, Frye and Nate.

Perhaps Isiah thinks he's working for the Bulls. Not only he did them a favor with taking Crawford and Curry, he also gave them 2 goddamn picks. If they have another season like that next year (which I seriously doubt), Bulls are gonna be in good position to get Oden.

I wouldn't want Curry either. He's got a monster contract, he's slow, a piss poor rebounder, unathletic, fumbles the ball in the paint, seemingly borderline overweight, turnover prone and lacks effort and the work ethic to improve himself.

So I would take off Curry in that list and add.... None other than Qyntel Woods.

Yeah, you're right. He'll sign for MLE or they'll do a sign a trade - LBJ for Marbury and Crawford. I bet Lebron hardly waits to play for Brown and the rest of the NY Crips.

i don't blame marbury, he tried fitting in brown system, it has turned into a diaster. at this rate they won't see 20 wins which is sad. When your the talk of the town because you won 2 in a row you know something is wrong.
I wouldn't be suprised if Brown benched Marbury for this. Heck, put him on IR, put francis at point and nate back him up

Yeah my friend told me that theory that Isiah wants LeBron in NYC and I told him what I'm telling you guys, if the Knicks get LeBron I would be amazed if they get 10 wins.

I can't stand Marbury... he's so egotistical.. and he cant back it up. Every time he's interviewed he proclaims that he's the best PG in the league... what a crock of shit, he deserves to be on the shittiest team in the league. :D

I'm starting to bite the theory about how players are the one that make great coaches and not the other way around..

if Mike D'Antonie(spelling) coached the knicks, where do you think they'll be
francis, marbury, crawford frye and curry on a high octane offense, doesnt' sound soo bad
and imagine marbury/francis getting enuf shots and they're all in transitions, that would INCREASE their career #'s...

Brown is...

Yea, but D'Antoni is not coaching the Knicks, and Brown doesn't like that kind of nonsense, so too bad so sad.
