Ex-Knicks find success in playoffs

So do you think if the Knicks had ever gotten out of the first round of the playoffs that Stephon Marbury would have had a night like he did for the Celtics Tuesday night? It's impossible to say.

Just sad,
i new that kid ariza was going to be a good ball player.
He nevr got a chance with the knicks. Basically just pickedu up the garbage minutes. They never new what they had of course

. Lebron and Wade are going no-where and sorry I'm not excited about the possiblity that 36 year old (in 2010) J. KIdd might comne to NY. Marbury was instrumental in the Celtics win, scoring 12 in the 4th quarter. funny no frontpage stories about THAT!! I'm supposed to feel better that the KNicks are in the lottery than possibly playing 1st round playoff like Chicago did. I don't. Even those $1000 WIN for LIFE have potential value until you scratch it off. the Walsh/D,ANton plan is a 8th place lottery pick in a draft with maybe 4 franchise changing players......
BTW has any Walsh or C'ANton won a title? the NTY sports media give them more slack on their decisions than RIley or even Van Gundy ever got... I can't see why. It has to be more than 'they're not Isiah'...
I hope

actully that's not quite true. Isiah knew what he had in Ariza. But I know you can't mention that to be consistent with the Meidia's anti Isiah theme. He also saw someting in Lee, Nate and CHandler when no one else did.

As for Ariza, he fell victim to that HOF coach Larry Brown. He was benched early (as was Lee and Nate and Frye) as we all saw Brown preferred Vets Mo Curry and Antonio Davis. Ariza started a few games in a row and then was pulled fromthe lineup and had DNP's. He went to the media and said he didn't know what the coach wanted.

he wasn't the only one...
Brown had something like 30+ different staring lineups that year.

Brown responded that Ariza was 'delusional' if he didn't know. within a week Ariza was traded.

... and we had that now comical press conference comparing Marbury/Francis to the Frazier/Monroe backcourt...

oh well.. memories is all we have now and for the forseeable future... while the Walsh/D'Anton con game continues
