I think he was trying to say that when you underestimate a team, you are at a disadvantage from the start.

The Knicks should not underestimate teams.
They've used that cop out in the past many a time. It's bullshit. |

Well the Knicks don't have a good team, to be quite honest. They are just like the rich version of the Bulls

They have a good team on paper...it's just that they can't seem to play well together.
It's too individualistic. At least Marbury isn't being as selfish as he used to be. I'm hoping that Houston will be back to good form, so we'll see what happens with that. It's kinda sad when your best and most consistant player is Nazr Mohammed. |

Really the Knicks won't be a legit title contender until they lose those big contracts and start over

So is Wilkins gone yet? Heard it being reported that if something isn't done quick he is out?

That sucks for Washington, they belong in that division. Move Milwaukee to the West and Memphis to the East

Good. He had absolutely no control over the team. It was like nobody really respected him or cared. They are real talented but they are so lazy.

I like Rivers, he's benched the best player on the team like 3 times for "not paying defense", I think they cut back on the courtside/bench mic after the time he was yelling at Pierce to play defense.

I'm not totally sure on Rivers yet. Kinda just seems like Danny Ainge's puppet. I don't know though, that's the feeling I was getting originally. The Celtics play no defense at all, all the games seem to end with both teams in the 110-115 point range.

That being said, Ainge is ready to over manage, but I think at this point Rivers is doing his own thing, if the Celts start to drop a bunch of games, or might miss the playoffs, I'd expect to see a battle for control between ainge and rivers. I just like that he's not taking crap from the players (Pierce, Payton) etc... |

Passing, Defense... heck, in the 80's they played great D and teams still scored over 100, cause it was fast, passing, running the floor a true team game... I hate todays NBA. Trips - Phil Jackson said he would be interested in the Knicks job, but they haven't contacted him. think that's a "Hint, Hint". |

Yeah Phil Jackson has said that he would want to BUT I know he won't until they have an actual GOOD team. I don't think Jackson would wanna risk ruining his legacy by coaching a shitty team.

Pat Riley might come back to coach too. That would rule but I would rather have Jackson obviously.
![]() Also heard Larry Brown, which would be gay. |

Marbury would have to be traded if they got Jackson, I dunno if Marbury's game is suited for the triangle

I think Marbury could work in the triangle just not as the point guard, move him to the 2 and he could do a good job

All they need to do is trade Marbury and they will automatically become a contender. Isn't that how it usually works?

I don't understand why that happens either. He does get his teammates involded, he is always tops in assists.

Stats can be decieving though. I think its his overall attitude that is what makes him a losing player. He left Minnesota because he thought he was better then Kevin Garnett and thought he was the one deserving of the money he got. He said it back when he was on the Wolves and he still says it, he thinks that he is the best. Its not like TO, at least in my opinion. TO is really confident, Marbury is more arrogant I guess is the word? When you are a point guard you can get a lot of assists and still be selfish. He just has it in his head that he is the best.
Personally I don't think that Marbury is holding this Knicks team down though. They have so many overpriced shitty players on their team. If they can keep Marbury and build around him while slowly ridding themselves of the aging shit like Tim Thomas, Penny Hardaway, Allan Houston, etc. They have so much money put into shitty players, think if they had that amount of money invested in good players...I don't think brining in a Steve Nash or Jason Kidd type would change the Knicks like it did the Suns and Nets. |

Marbury plays real lazy it seems. On defense at least.
