Isiah vs Marbury: Round X
Admit it: You missed reading about these dudes. It’s OK, you can tell me. I won’t judge you.
The Knicks shocked everyone by beating the Pistons in convincing fashion at the Garden yesterday, but these being the Knicks, the surprising win was overshadowed by what seems like growing beef between Isiah Thomas and Stephon Marbury. Again.
Steph, who’s upset (surprise!) with his reduced role on the team, sat out with what the team called a sore left ankle, but Zeke didn’t seem all that convinced that his point guard was hurt.
“He’s not playing tonight,” Thomas said before last night’s stunning 89-65 Garden rout of the Pistons. “So we’ll cross that bridge when we come to it if he does decide to play again.”
“I didn’t know he wasn’t on the bench,” Thomas said after the win in another dig.
Palpable tension in the locker room; protests outside the arena; an incompetent but seemingly untouchable coach; improbable victories. Ho hum, just another day in Knickville.

I love Isiah, but people have been killed for less. Even I’m amazed he’s still coaching the Knicks.

This reminds me of this article, maybe Steph is going through a fictional menopausal disease.

Hey, if you’re gonna fail, fail spectacularly. Beats a decade of first round exits.

Marcel, I didn’t like you initially because you were named after the famous mime artist. But now I don’t like you because you’re writing about the Knicks.

the Pistons win bought him at least another month. Isiah that is. Steph… unpredictable.

January 18th is the premire of “Cloverfield”. In an ironic twist of fate, can the monster from the movie actually be replicated and sent to real world NY to destroy that little cancerous mole so the city of Manhattan can be freed from his sexaully harrassed stranglehold? Please, JJ Abrams, for the good of mankind……

I lost interest in the knicks like about 3 years ago and I even think they should fire Zeke.

apparently he’s looking to get surgery now, he said if the doctors tell him he’s got bone spurs in his ankle he’ll definitely get surgery to protect his career. Sounds to me like he just wants to throw in the towel for this year…

It turns out that Marbury apparently has a legitimate injury. I’m a slam fan, but when you get it wrong, you need to post something to make it right.

Co Co: you “love Isiah”? How is that possible? Who the hell in their right minds would love the man anymore?
