It’s nearly time for tip-off

In about 24 hours the Knicks will be on the practice court at the College of Charleston preparing for another season, with or without head coach Isiah Thomas.
Are you getting all tingly?
Things get underway this afternoon when the players pull up a chair and answer questions that will probably be repeated all season long.
Is this a playoff team? Do you think Eddy Curry and Zach Randolph will co-exist? Will the defense improve? Did you work on free throws?
None of the answers we get today mean anything. More than any team in the NBA, these guys talk a good game. Thomas can sell anything with his magnetic personality. The follow through has been a little off, though. I believe the losing streak stands at six long seasons.
Anyway, I’ll keep you posted on the events of the day.

Please Ask Stephon about his marriage and overall outlook, following his summer of embarrassment
Let’s not, Evan. The time has come to finally get back to talking about basketball and you want to know about Stephon Marbury’s marriage? Shame on you.
Steph’s wife has known about the affair for a while now and they haven’t split up, so I wouldn’t worry about his private life.
KNICKS BASKETBALL IS BACK!!! I’m amped up about this coming season. We’ve got Zach and the returning players should be better than ever this year. Everyone seems to be confident and worked hard this offseason, so I look forward to a big year from this team.
The Balkman injury really dampens my enthusiasm right off. Especially since I don’t really trust the Knicks medical staff. I’m worried he’s going to miss more than the month or get back and not be as effective.
With the addition of Jared Jordan there has to be a trade coming up. The writing is on the wall.
Hopefully Jerome or Malik are included in the package, and none of our young core.
I don’t think it’s for Artest, that’s to obvious. Isiah makes move you don’t expect.
It’s playoffs or bust for the franchise. Isiah as GM and Coach and (wishfully) Dolan as owner.
Knicks fans are passionate, but we won’t wait forever for at least a legitimate team.
That said, if Eddy and Zach can just each play a little defense, and share the ball (i.e. pass back out of double-teams), the Knicks will compete.
Yeah I agree with you 100% Henry…I’d expect to hear something go down within the next 3 days.
PG: Marbury, Nate, Collins, Jordan, Crawford (to a lesser extent)
Thats 5 PGs…some have to get shipped
when are you going to show any media day highlights or videos?
yes I wanted to know what Stephon Marbury thinks about the image he is setting, since he has now supposedly found himself.
There is one thing Stephon should be embarrassed about… and that is cheating on his wife, like probably 70% (conservatively) of the NBA have probably done and having to come public with it.
Other than that, he should be and I’m sure is proud and fine with his summer. This summer was all about haters and people being jealous of a successful black man! A good black man! I think Steph understands that.
No matter what the IDIOTS have to say I think Stephon knows there are a lot of people and NY fans that love him. Appreciate who he is as a man AND as a basketball player … one of the VERY best!!
He really doesn’t care what his haters think about him. He’s comfortable in himself. That’s where the idiots don’t get it. That’s where his joy freedom, comfortable realness in public and with the media is coming from. He know’s who he is and appreciates those who appreciate him and could care less about the idiots that are simply jealous haters.
Uuuuuh, did I make that clear enough???
Yeah i think I did!
Ted, signing out!
Ted,
Stephon is a great athlete. No one will deny that, however, everyone knows he’s not the sharpest crayon in the box. I’ll be rooting like crazy for the guy and would love to see him succeed, he’s NY and so am I, but give me a break. He has made many questionable comments and many questionable decisions on the floor.
