29-23 Heat at the end of 1. Malik Rose and Jerome James posterized Mourning. How many Knick bums are going to dunk on him before the game is over?
Francis needs to be put on the Inactive list, I'm sorry...I don't really see what he brings to this team except turnovers and difficult shot selection with piss poor effort defense and not passing the ball to hustling big men. Way to go Isiah.
Watched my first full Knicks game of the season yesterday and I've got to say it's a painfull thing to watch. Eddie Curry must be counting the days until this season is over and he can get away from all these ball hogs. The worst part is that all the Knick's high priced guards are locked up for at least the next 4 years with big contracts so they shouldn't be playing selfishly trying to to play for their next contract. They could and should be trying to play team basketball and winning. Everytime Marbury passes the ball his body language is telling us that "I REALLY DIDN'T WANT TO PASS THAT". Look at this payroll and try not to vomit: http://www.hoopshype.com/salaries/new_york.htm
The Knicks are paying over 31 Million dollars for 3 players who don't even play for them anymore (Allan Houston, Shandon Anderson, and Jerome Williams). Now look at the Bobcats' roster that TOTALS 33 Million.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, Eddy Curry is a nice talent. I think in a few years he can become a top Center if devloped right. Right now for him New York is not the place he wants to be. If his heart problem is alright I can see him being one of the best big man in the future. All he needs is a motivation.
If he could rebound and play at least solid defense, he'd be one of the best centers in the league already.

Marbury shared the ball pretty well with 7 assists and 1 turnover. I actually think he should have been more selfish, but he wasn't getting any calls going inside, so he decided not to. By your own admission you've only seen one Knick game, so who are you to judge a player(s) based on one performance or for the next four years? The Knicks have a high payroll. Thank you for informing us, I'm sure none of us had any idea of that.
