“Larry Brown got a raw deal.”

hahahahahahahahahahahaha! this is the funniest thing I’ve read in ages! the dude got close to $30 million for one of the lamest coaching jobs in NBA history, he undercut the confidence of pretty much every player on the team and couldn’t even come close to deciding on a rotation all year. I wish I could get such a “raw deal”.

I dont know how anyone can come down on Steph for shooting too much. He is basically one of the only consistent offensive producers this team has and currently the only person I am willing to take a shot at the end of the game.

He had two huge threes down the stretch against Orlando, and we’d be talking about them if the game wasn’t thrown away because a pissed off Nelson drained threes (he killed us the entire third quarter of that game).

With all our injuries on offense you can’t get on him for carrying us, which he has been

Under Brown I mean, my bust.

Pretty Tony the irony is that Marbury’s defense has been great this year under Zeke and Curry blossomed at least on the offensive end under Zeke. Under Curry both of them moved backwards.

I don’t care how many points Marbury scores. He sits on the bench scowling with a towel over his head. That’s not how I envision a so-called leader of the team acting.

Larry Brown got a raw deal. He wanted to make Marbury a true PG and Eddy Curry more defensive minded. They were too lazy/stubborn to change their ways, quit on him and essentially ran him out of town.

Would you rather have:

A) Larry Brown and a more polished Marbury coupled with a multidimensional Curry

-or-

B) Zeke with Starbury and lazy Eddy Curry

I just hope Frye manages to turn it around sometime in these last ten games, in which case I think I’d consider this season a decided success, 35 wins and all.

Marbury’s doing everything he can to make this team competitive with 4 players who are tremendously important to the offense missing. He absolutely should not be criticized for shooting so much, especially if his offense remains as efficient as its been. The following players cannot be trusted with even a mid range jump shot: Jeffries, Balkman, Collins. There have been times when they’re all on the court at once. What’s he supposed to do – drive to the hoop and kick it out to them so they can look for two seconds, decide not to shoot, and then pass it again? Because that’s what I see happen all the time. Rose is unreliable even though he has the range and Frye, who does have range, has been getting some open shots. Only Nate can be trusted to hit open threes consistently enough to justify passing out to him (and he has passed to him, remember Nate’s 8 frigging threes in one game recently?) Overall Steph has done a lot to turn his reputation around in my eyes this season. He’s done everything he can to help the team but the team is on one leg right now.

I mean, in one sense, you’re certainly right. but who is he supposed to be passing to with this group of players? Jeffries? Balkman? James? Malik Rose? there are a lot of times we’re playing 3 on 5 on offense these days, so hard to fault Steph much for gunning, especially when he’s busting like he was last night.

and yes, obviously we’d all rather have Paul or Deron Williams or Hinrich, but that ain’t happening.
