Isiah Thomas: We Need a Point Guard
Peals of laughter echo in response from the anyone associated as a fan or employee of the NBA.
"Isiah Thomas made an admission yesterday: the Knicks are in need of a point guard. Thomas essentially blamed this season's disaster on not having stability at the point. Though Thomas has handed the keys to Jamal Crawford, he knows Crawford is not the prototype for the position.
Thomas was not ripping Stephon Marbury, just saying the Knicks' season was ruined by their early riff, the death of Marbury's father, the confusingly long bereavement leave and, ultimately, Marbury's decision to have ankle surgery. "Most championship teams have to have the right point guard to orchestrate [things]," Thomas said. "That's been a problem for us this year. Injuries are part of the game."
Hysterical.
Um, Isiah? Even if Marbury had not had a season from hell (even by his standards), the point guard play was going to be not what the Knicks needed. Hysterical. Perhaps he could acquire another power forward to deal with the problem.
