02.29.08 THE KNICKS ARE DOING GREAT, PART INFINITY
New York Post today revealed that co-captain Stephon Marbury has been banned from Madsion Square Garden by team president/coach/popcorn baron Isiah Thomas.
Marbury has been instructed by Isiah Thomas not to attend Knicks home games - another indication of the continuing feud between the former pals…
Insiders believe Thomas feels Marbury cost the Knicks the season by rebelling so strongly in November when the coach looked to remove Marbury from the starting lineup after five games. Marbury's bolting of Phoenix fractured the locker room. Thomas also resents Marbury for having surgery instead of trying to postpone it. "It was very bad timing for the team," the friend said, "but it had to be done."
Thomas said Wednesday if Marbury had the season he did in 2006-07, the Knicks "would've won five, six more games and we'd be right in the thick of things."
And in case you think that sounds preposterous, here are the current NBA standings. As you can see, the Knicks are a mere 26.5 games behind division leader Boston and just 21 games below .500. Why, if they'd won five more games this season, they'd only be 16 games under .500 and… still not good enough to make the playoffs.
But still. TOTALLY Marbury's fault, dude. You'll see. Isiah's gonna have the Knicks fixed up in a jiffy.

Stephon Marbury has been banned from Madsion Square Garden
I'm confused. Is this supposed to be a punishment or a reprieve from watching the train wreck that's sure to be the rest of the Knick's season?
Thomas feels Marbury cost the Knicks the season
And we also lost the conflict in Vietnam because of that commie dissident bitch Jane Fonda and all of her carrying on!
"would've won five, six more games and we'd be right in the thick of things."
HUH?? Thats like saying "If I made an extra $100.00 a month I would be able to afford that 1976 Jaguar XJ12 I've wanted since birth." Dude, it just ain't happenen.

Thomas has replaced Marbury's previous arch-nemesis, the Ambiguously Gay Duo. For his head is bald and gigantic, you see.
Next on the sked for Isiah is ordering a Knick surge. Never surrender, bad boy.
Keep calm all is well!!!!

FYI, "Popcorn Baron" > "Captain of industry"
Math is a little bit off. 5-6 more wins would put the Knicks at 23-24 wins and 33-34 losses. That's about a game behind the 76ers for the 8th seed in the Eastern conference.
So what Isiah really means to say is that if Marbury had the season he did in 2006-07, the Knicks "would've won five, six more games and we'd be right in line to get railed in the ass by the Boston Celtics in the first round of the playoffs. Who cares about drafting Michael Beasley anyways, winning is for retards."
21 games under .500 with 6 wins INSTEAD OF LOSSES would leave them 9 games under .500 and the 9th seed in the East. So it is SOME difference.
Still, I'm not sure a young and healthy MJ, Bird, Magic, Wilt and Russell could save this squad….
For what it's worth, hoops historians will be talking about Steph's magical 2006-2007 season long after he retires. Who among us won't get chills thinking about the 16 points, 5 assists, and 41% shooting that he dazzled us with night in and night out?
'He likes it best un-buttered, with just a dash of salt'
WNBA > Knicks??? Think about it…
This is what America is all about.
Thank goodness Wrestlemania is in Orlando this year
Looks like someone is going to Italy a little earlier than expected.
Has anyone ever seen George Bush and Isiah Thomas in the same room together?
I'm just saying…
@Papa–yes, and unfortunately it was the war room at the Pentagon.
Am I the only one who feels that, in fact, Isiah's unexplainable job security is a pretty clear sign the terrorists have already won?
in related absurdity, i checked the ticket prices for a home game at MSG against the pistons, and top tier seats were running upwards of THREE FUCKING THOUSAND DOLLARS A SEAT…to watch this shit.
