<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Leery Of Joining Chaotic Environment ? Stephon Marbury's first Christmas without his recently deceased father proved too tough. Marbury missed the 5 p.m. team flight and will not play when the Knicks face Orlando tonight at the TD Waterhouse Centre. Marbury's decision to continue his bereavement leave generates even more speculation that he is very leery of joining the Knicks' chaotic environment with Isiah Thomas in charge and is sticking it to the coach. A friend of Marbury told The Post yesterday, "Isiah will throw Steph under the bus any time the going gets tough." -- New York Post</div>
