I've been sittin' back just reading the posts and I can't believe the dumb things posted. Granted, everyone is frustrated...including myself, but everyone is just playing the blame game. There are a number of certainties regarding our situation:

1) We still have a poorly constructed team...in a major way.

2) Despite his talent, Marbury is still a loser

3) Playing in LB's system requires discipline, sacrifice, and effort (amazingly the same things required to be a winning team) and we have few players willing to bring it every game.

4) Marbury whines about no freedom and yet, when he was averaging 20/10 and we won, it was because we played very good defense and protected the ball...not because SM was "starbury". The timing was interesting in that we had won 2 in a row on the road and had played well enough to win the other 2 when Marbury spouted off. Interesting timing....wonder about his agenda.

5) Coaches are hired to bring a system in place...not to let the players coach the style they wish to play. Anybody think Stephon will coach someday? (no way)...or any great coach will abandon his philosophies? (See Phil and the "triangle"). Players bend or they are moved, not the other way around.

6) JC still sucks

7) The rookies are still good but still green

8) IT is great at TALENT evaluation but clueless how to assemble it into a team.

9) LB is still as much as a hard *** as ever.

10) This roster is still not nearly set

11) Everybody loves the offensive "flash" but few here seem to understand what it takes to be a champion. Ditch the shake and bakes and ankle busters and give me a "shut-down" defender and fundamental players and I'll beat you every time.

12) Like I said before the season....this is going to take 2-3 years

13) Kitty is hot
