D'Antoni?.....Knick Fans, time to wake up?

D'Antoni not playing Marbury and Curry? It's just playing games and being unprofessional. First you allow them to play during the pre-season and then as soon as the season starts, they sit? All D'Antoni has created is instant stress on the team, instant chaos. Coming off a win over the Heat, after the team almost completely lost a 23 point lead and allowed last year's last place team to score 40 points in the 4th quarter, D'Antoni is patting himself on the back too much. Now Phillie comes to town to set in the reality of what the Knicks season could really be like.... losing by about 30 points. How many 30 point losts before the Garden gets ugly. They think they can sit back and talk about rebuilding for the next 2 or 3 years, but this is New York, baby. D'Antoni can be booed just like anyone else. Sure run and gun like Phoenix, and play no defense just like Phoenix. The NY Knicks defensive basketball gods like Frazier and Ewing and Red Holtzman (rest in peace) must be wondering what kind of Knick team this will be.

As for Marbury and Curry, they are players, and if they are in shape and on the team,then play them. Why play little children games? If you are a great coach, then prove it by coaching these difficult players. Phil Jackson would have done it. Jordan was able to get Rodman to play. Is D'Antoni getting paid to coach, or to be petty? Season before last, Marbury was like number two in assists in the league, so what the hell do you mean he can't pass? In any event, he will make his 20+ million, then go to Italy and play, followed by a host of other NBA players. Only a matter of time before the number one college player in this country decides to go there too. I wish the NBA would be more about balling and less about the damn business.... and fans, players are people too. The newspapers and media makes a monster out of a guy like Marbury, but in his personal life he is loved by family and friends and thousands of kids, 11,000 that attend his basketball touraments. He even gave a donation of millions of dollars to NY City workers last year, but you did not hear much about that, nor about the thousands of pairs of sneakers he gave to kids:

    After the years that you've seen these guys play, are you seriously asking this. Curry has been playing absolutely horrible in his stay in NY. Marbury is a whole other story. He's a great player. No ones saying he isn't. But he's a loose cannon. He is arrogant, stuck up and isn't a team player. They don't have chemistry when he's there. You said instant stress on the team. It didn't look like they were stressed when they kicked the heats butts. But again they arent a very good team with or without marbury. But a step in the right direction is getting rid of marbury and curry. They have some good young players. D'Antoni is a good coach.He knows what he's doing. He's not gonna take the crap marbury gives him like Isaih did.

    Either your an idiot or a moron. you choose.

    Marbury is a lazy bastard.

    Curry is a fat ***.

    I don't give a **** if you are high but Marbury is not a team player. Curry is just Curry. Would you rather see the last years knick were all players are just standing around there *** off and getting pay?

    D'antoni Make those Knicks players work there *** off. If you don't your not playing its simple as that. If you don't contribute to the team, you dont ******* play its that ******* simple.

    Your an idiot, Curry in shape? HOLY **** what r u smoking? the guy is lazy, overweight, and he makes Millions just eating. It right D'antoni bench his *** until he ******* work out.

    Your topic is a fail. Your a failure. Your reason is a failure. And by the way marbury #2 in assist in the league? You don't know bastketball. Steve Nash has a higher assist than him, Calderon has a higher assist than him, CP3 has a higher assist on him, JKidd has a higher assist than him. Dude your a failure. Instead of complain be thankful someone is making those Lazy knicks work.

    Marbury is a ******* virus to any team.

    I think that if you are paying Marbury $20 million dollars you might as well play him. Although like you say if he is such a good coach like everyone says then he will have to handle this troublesome player. Philadelphia is a pretty good team, but come on you lose by almost 30 points and that says that you can't play defense for s*hit. Think about they allowed the Miami heat to score 115 points and they almost lost the game so i dont see what they were to happy about to begin with.

    OMG!!!! Yes I was in deep sleep when they played these 2 games. I am originally from India but I support all good teams. I was never ranting about the white wash nor have I claimed that India will is going to whitewash. 20/20 is a not game that any team can dominate. It is always a 50-50 chance. Being 20/20WC champs everyone expects them to win and it is not possible. Both the games as I understand were close games and there is nothing to brag about other than taking your rants against the Indian fans. The question itself ask for trouble and I am not going to question it. We have had plenty such incidents in this section and I am not going to get involved. But I will be able to watch the ODIs and test matches and we will see how well Indians play. I do not care who wins, but how they win or lose.
