Marbury: We Still Don't Know System

[Mr. J]

<div class="quote_poster">Quote:</div><div class="quote_post">"We're still trying to figure out what we're supposed to do on the basketball court," Marbury said. "It is unusual but it is what it is."

Asked if it's because there have been too many inconsistencies with the rotation, Marbury said, "If you want to say that, you can say that."

Brown has used 35 starting lineups and a seemingly infinite number of rotations this season. Marbury has said repeatedly during the season he'd love to see Brown settle on a starting lineup. That did not happen the past few days, as Brown had Qyntel Woods start in Memphis, with Jalen Rose getting a DNP. Against Chicago, it reversed itself, Woods getting the DNP and Rose starting.</div>

I guess it's the players fault for that. The Knicks inconsistencies are a direct effect because of this. Qyntel played well in Memphis and is rewarded by a DNP the next game. For us, Jalen Rose has averaged 15 points shooting 46% from the field and 57% from downtown. Brown decides to keep him on the bench. What's the logic behind that? I guess it's the players fault for being inconsistent.

Wow. The Knicks have finally been competitive over the last few games and you're still complaining about Brown's coaching? I guess it's a lot easier than flip flopping once again and saying how great of a coach Larry Brown is for this recent stretch after you said what a lousy coach Larry Brown is after you praised his coaching ability and track record over the summer. I for dont see what's so hard to grasp. Defend, pass the ball, rebound, play with effort and you'll give yourself a chance to win. Sounds simple enough to me. But hey I'm not the one making tens of millions of dollars to play a children's game so what do I know?


Anyway I think Isiah Thomas should be fired.

You're right, I should have known Brown would do a bad job in the summer. That's my mistake. Once Francis came, the Knicks have been competitive for the most part. Is this because of Brown's coaching?

The Knicks don't defend, although they started picking it up as of late. They don't pass well. Could this be not knowing the system well like Marbury said? Obviously. The turnovers are attributed to this too. Where the hell do you get the idea we don't rebound the ball? We're 7th in the league in rebounding! We hold our opponents to 38 boards - 4th best, and we're fourth in rebounding difference. I know you have a tendency to be negative, but obviously the Knicks are among the better rebounding teams. That's a fact.

I say they should trade Marbury for whoever they can get. I don't care if it's like 6 future second round picks....get him off your team. He's the "leader" of that team, and he's never exactly had a great/winning attitude so of course the team doesn't know the plays. And as for"knowing the plays" he's the one who should be studying them in his spare time, being the PG and all. It wouldn't surprise me if he doesn't know the plays and he's just saying it's a team thing...
