I've thought about it a lot, at first thinking it was boom or bust with bust being far liklier, but I've changed my mind. I have no idea if they'll be able to guard anyone, but I think they're going to be awesome on offense. I'll take time, but I really think it'll work. Marbury's always been such an *ss if he doesn't respect the guys he plays with, but I think he's going to love Franchise and I think you'll see that in his game. Francis has never been a great decision maker, but we all know he's not stat conscious, and totally unselfish. He didn't work with JVG's system because he couldn't (for whatever reason) not because he refused to try. He really did try. He didn't iso and over dribble because he was selfish; it's just the only way he'd ever played. Also, Stevie plays so well off the ball, coming off screens, backdoor cutting, I think he and Steph are going to click like Stevie did with Mobley. Marbury's so talented and such an *ss, but I just think Stevie's hustle and his moxie are going to work wonders on him. And most importantly us New Yorkers get to see Stevie on MSG all the freakin time!! I'm so excited I just can't help being optimistic.
I agree I think the Francis is selfish thing is a bunch of BS and Francis has always until Orlando given MAXIMUM effort [Orlando seems to make folx quit . . . uhm don't it TMAC fans?] Rocket River
I want to see who LB puts at the point. In the summer there was talk of putting Marbury at the 2 and he was salivating at the possibility of raining jump shots. I think he is a better point than SF, dribbles less, is a better passer and has a better handle. If I was LB, I would put SF at the 2 and minimize his decision making mistakes. The Knicks will be big players in the trade market this off-season but SF won't be traded, I'd take him over Q, Crawford and Robinson anyday.
