    The article is on Stephon Marbury, and chronicles how he has been misused:

    Are we using Roy properly? We are surrounding Roy with shooters. Are the defenders adequate, and is there another
    player to take pressure off Roy? Is our new efforts at running helping with this?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Very nice article, thanks.

    I think the offensive make-up is actually pretty solid for Portland. Shooters to space the floor is a good match for Roy's dribble penetration. Looking into the future, that will also be a good match for Bayless' penetration, plus both Bayless and Roy can shoot the ball (well, Bayless has that skill, even if he hasn't shown it in the NBA yet) off the other's dribble. Oden should be the post presence that the team needs, considering he already draws double-teams and this is the worst that his offensive game will ever be.

    Great article, you're just picking on the stupid part. The author is convincing.
