Q&A with the Mavs' Shawn Marion

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/20...zi/11/02/marion/index.html?eref=twitter_share

SI.com: You've played with both Kidd and Steve Nash. How would you compare them as point guards?

SM: They're totally different. J-Kidd is a walking triple-double. He's one of the bigger guards in the league and can post up as well. Steve is a facilitator who can see the court well. You could make up a checklist and there's going to be some things J-Kidd does better than Steve and some things Steve does better than J-Kidd. Steve and J-Kidd are great because they don't care about turnovers; they make the tough passes and aren't afraid to make mistakes.

SI.com: You shot a lot more three-pointers in Phoenix than in Miami and Toronto. Was that simply a part of the offense and will you be looking to shoot more in Dallas?

SM: Yeah, that was the offense. I'll shoot them if they're there, but I'm not going to be hoisting them up for no reason. In Miami and Toronto, the opportunities weren't there. I was slashing and posting up. In Toronto, I was more incorporated in the offense than I was in Miami. D-Wade was having an unbelievable year in Miami [last season] and he's the star. That's his team and there's nothing wrong with that, but that's the way it is. I was just trying to fit in there even though I wasn't involved like I wanted to be.

SI.com: Do you like the situation with Dallas? You really shined in Phoenix's up-tempo offense and it seems like Dallas is probably more suited for you offensively than Miami or Toronto.

SM: Well, yeah, because [in Phoenix] the ball was always moving and I was getting involved. I don't care who you are -- if you're not getting shots or plays aren't called for you, you're not going to score. It's as simple as that. I just want to win now and get that ring on my finger, so I'm not even worried about the numbers anymore.

For the few here that care about the Bulls or who follow Rose and don't have LP Broadband, they are on WGN tonight.

Brandon Jennings vs. Knicks is about to start. I'm calling a big game for Jennings.

Knicks' new strategy: fall behind by 20 in the 1st quarter to lull them to sleep, then storm back to lose by 10.

Then follow it up by falling back 30 before halftime. This is the team and coach LeBron wants to play for?

Speaking of the Knicks, I just watched the last 9 minutes of the 2nd quarter against the Bucks. Next time I'll just stab myself in the eye instead. It's only the 8th game of the season and they have completely given up. Stupid turnovers, dumb shots, no defense and trailing a team like the Bucks by 31 points. A disgrace to the NBA. I hope they passed over by the top free agents because a team should not be rewarded for tanking 2 straight seasons.

The Milwaukee Bucks are leading a team by 30 on the road, without Michael Redd. This team is starting Charlie Bell, Hakim Warrick and Carlos Delfino. I'm pretty sure a good euroleague team could kick the Knicks' ass right now.

They're not even tanking, other teams have a reason to tank, they are just that bad.

I guess the only drama left is will the lead get to 40. At 71-37, it's going the right direction.
