Starbury

[Buckets]

Wat are your predictions on Starbury's 1st game as a Knick? I think the knicks will win the game and S.Marbury will shot over 45%, have 20+points, 10 or + assists, and like 5rebounds. Oh yea i think that the Knicks will win it by 5.

Stephon Marbury
21 pts 7 ast 4 reb 7/15 fg 4/4 ft 1/4 3pt


Knicks 98<
Cavs 93


EDIT: If he comes off the bench:

14 pts 5 ast 2 reb 4/9 fg 3/3 ft 1/3 3pt

Knicks down by 16 late 3rd. Poor shooting ('specially Houston) and too many turnovers. Getting dominated in the paint.

hey at least moochie norris is playing his career game..why didn't he do it in houston..

8, 5, and 8 for Marbury, Cavs win 107/96

 

[Buckets]

I cant believe marbury did that bad

, and why did he get played 2gaurd instead of Pointgaurd? I think Marbury would have played way better at Pointgaurd... Marbury only shot3-9 from the field

.. I think that Starbury will play better next game once the coach figures out to play him at the point and even better than that when he gets acqainted with there game plan.

I wonder why he only played 29 min?

Cavs played a great game, and Sooch, I agree I think he'll do much better next game.

What the hell are you talking about? 8, 5, and 8 is a solid game. He was the point guard too, he did after all have 8 assists.

Well he thought that Stephon was going to have a monster game as his New York debut (so did I, but im not that suprised now that i think of it because he was traded last night).

Marbury is not some basketball god that will come in and turn their team around straight away.He hasn't even had one practise yet...He arrived and met his team-mates today

Give him time to settle in.The Knicks game on thursday you should expect to see the new look Knicks in better shape.

 

[Vyper]

You cats gotta remember too Marbury is prolly wore down tired. lol I doubt he's had any rest at all since the trade and since he played last night...that prolly factored into his shooting IMO.

EDIT After lookin' he didn't play last night after all..LOL jumped the gun I guess

 

[GatorsowntheNCAA]

Just give him time to learn the Knicks system. He will be back at his form shooting and stuff after a couple of games.

 

[~Fatality~]

It's his first game no need to get worried. He was probably a bit nervous and such. Marbury will be back.

 

[Waneko]

Yeah, he was passing the ball too much. I know for him that sounds like a compliment, but really, he is not there to distribute the ball like other point guards. It will only get better and better.

 

[Buckets]

Yea i guess marbury had a solid game, but i did think he was gonna have a monster game so thats why i was expecting so much for him, but your right i think he didhave a solid game i hope he'll play better today.

 

[Ming637]

Marbury didn't play that good as he did in Phoenix. He should get better as the games come, if not then FIRE CHANEY!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Nylex]

It'll happen. The team needs to adjust to Marbury and he needs to adjust to them. Houston said he wasn't used to getting so many open looks and stuff. Marbury only heard he could play 25 mins before the game, so you'd expect it not to go smoothly.

Every article seems to mention both Marbury and Hardaway, but none talk about Trybanski :/.
