The spoutings of W.O.Wkoast and to a lesser extent Lurker:
For 5 minutes a game? DO YOU believe that Mr. I am the greatest PG of all time wants to take such a back back seat? He will be a pain in the rear end if he doesn't get a lot of minutes so that is why I am talking the way I am.
Honestly WK, do you really think he can understand that? Do you really think Moronity understands that for the 43 minutes he's supposed to be a good team mate sitting on the bench? He'll be slamming the Spurs on ESPN 10 games into the season for not playing him. The Spurs are too smart to even consider bringing this moron into the organization. If Stephon could not work with the greatest team mate in the league, KG, then how will he function with the softspoken guys on the Spurs roster?
IMO real fans understand that, Spurs fans in particular.
vs what actually occured:
Marbury scoring all of his 12 points in the final quarter to help Boston rally from a 14-point deficit and beat the Orlando Magic 92-88.
"Stephon Marbury led the charge in the second half, and made some things happen, and that energy fed me," said Big Baby Davis, who hit the buzzer-beater to win Game 4 on Sunday. "Things weren't going right, and we're looking for an answer. ... You help others, and motivate others, and that's what Stephon Marbury did and that's what we all did."
Marbury joined the Celtics at the end of February after a season-long feud with New York Knicks management earned him his long-awaited release. He saw limited playing time as the backup point guard in Boston, never making as many as five baskets in a game until a six-minute span at the start of the fourth quarter on Tuesday night.
Then he went back to the bench.
"He's been great for us. He just hangs in there, keeps working every day. He's been very patient," Celtics coach Doc Rivers said. "This is tough for him. He's never been taken out to put starters in. That's always been him going in, and he's been able to handle it well and be a great teammate. So, I'm just happy for him."
