They have no heart, but what a surprise. The lunatics run the asylum. starting at the top with Dolan, Thomas, and their best player Marbury

Im was thinking to myself geez, what would the Oak Man have done if these clowns pulled this stuff? Youre stuck with Marbury no one wants him His track record speaks for itself. Crawford? Never saw a shot he didnt take. Im watching the Nugget game and theyre only down by 28. Clear the bench, let the young guys play and learn something. The coach has never won anything as a coach. He cant even with in the court of law. They say that NY fans wont tolerate a rebuilding year, but weve had a rebuilding 5 years. I remember the Knicks under Hubie Brown and they had no one, butthey gave their all. Thats what the city loved about them same when Pitino was here. they are heartless gutless and overpaid. We will ahve to deal with it until the league intercedes. Where are you Commissioner Stern?

it was pretty funny how Gus and Kenny Smith couldn’t stop raving about how good Marbury’s D was on Martin, and he ended up with a career high. I know that a lot of that wasn’t with Marbury on him, but still pretty funny.

Thanks Knickerblogger for giving me a place to vent. Another day and another loss for the Knicks. They seem to find new and creative ways to do it. The image that sticks in my mind is how a man as big and strong as Curry could get the ball under the basket with 2 seconds left behind his man and not dunk the ball. He let a small player alter his flip at the basket and miss shot that would have won the game. A memorable moment in current Knicks play. This team is just impossible to dissect becuse the problems keep shifting. One night it’s Marbury’s defense. Last night he looked good on D for a little while on Martin but bad shots by Crawford and Richardson killed them. The next game, maybe Curry will turn it over too much or Zach takes too many bad shots. Then it’s back to Marbury’s bad D or turnovers or injuries or no rotation on D or a Jeffries brick at a crutial time. How many times have we got to hear that someone scored their career high against the Knicks. It’s like the whole thing is just wrong. For the first time, I am not upset anymore with these losses. I see it as a possiblitiy to get Isiah fired and maybe get a top draft choice this year to finally build a team around. Let’s just hope Isiah doesn’t get a chance to trade this years pick for another flawed, overpaid player before he is shown the door.

Crawford would be a good bench player. Play him when he’s hot, useless when he’s not. Why the hell did they play Malik Rose last night? Is Chandler injured? If not, I don’t think he could possibly be any worse than Rose. Here’s a stupid trade idea…

Marbury
Malik Rose

FOR

Raef Laefrentz
Darius Miles
Joel Pryzbilla

You can blame Isiah Thomas, the “great talent evaluator”, for this.

It’s well established that Jamal Crawford is a bad player: a 40% shooter who plays miserable defense. This year he’s added an exciting new dimension: 4 turnovers per game.

Maybe he’d be an okay bench player, but as a starting guard averaging over 40 minutes a game he is absolutely brutal.

I sound like a broken record…Perimeter shooting has killed this team the last 3 seasons. This team needs a major upgrade on Steph, Q, but especially Crawford. He’s not going to learn to play the game at this level. The worst thing with him is a few of his bad shots go in, so he’ll just keep taking them. His body is never square to the basket when he shoots, everything off balance. Giving him the green light is killing the team. Again. Q is finished. Steph is aging.
Those three shot about 40 percent from the field last year and they are worse so far this year. Literally killing this team. And no one defends.
Those three ALL must go after this season if not before. These 8 games make Larry Brown look like a sage. That kills me. I don’t know if Isiah makes it through the next two weeks. It would take a miracle.

JC had his usual bad shot selection…we need a 2. This team can’t shoot a jumper. Q is still not shooting, whats up w/ him…
