Marbury leads Knicks to overtime victory over Jazz

I knew that Steph and Jamal would have a big night tonight against the Jazz because, lets face it, they are the only two active guards for tonight's game.

I was at the garden tonight wearing all my knicks colors and looking for those punks Frank Isola and Mike "the Larry Brown puppet" Lupica but those cowards were nowhere in site. They were probably so dissapointed the Knicks won tonight because it doesn't further their agenda of controling the team through their newspapers to ultimately have Isiah Thomas fired.

What I did see was an 8-man team go into a war with one of the top teams in the NBA and come out on top.

David Lee, you are a true Knicks warrior and you have the fighting spirit of Knicks great Charles Oakley. It is a shame any night where you don't get 40 minutes to display all of your skill and hustle (please learn how to shoot free throws and throw decent passes, btw).

In 45 minutes, Lee was 8-12 from the floor, had 17 points and 20 rebounds in addion to two steals and three assists. Congrats, hopefully Isiah will realize you need MORE minutes reguardless of how deep this team already is, you can't please everybody.

Congrats to Channing Frye for putting up a double double and coming up with the defensive stop of the game, blocking Carlos Boozer on the low post! 10points, 10rebounds, and 2 blocks.

Also congrats to Jamal Crawford for shooting his way out of the slump and coming up big in the final quarter and overtime with 18 points.

But mostly congrats to Stephon Marbury, who put the Knicks on his back tonight and let it ride with a big game, 29 points, 8 assists, and the game winning, buzzer-beating, drive-the-length-of-the-floor lay-up. Though they had to review the tape and the garden sat and anxiously awaited the decision, Marbury ran strait to the locker-room after the winning basket.

I also want to mention Renaldo Balkmen's tremendous defensive hustle throughout the game, getting blocks, getting deflections, what a great energy pickup for the Knicks! 15 rebounds for balkman tonight, also 7 points and two blocks.

Eddy Curry was a no show tonight, but he did a good job on Boozer when he covered him.

Kelvin Kato had 4 blocks! I like the players that played tonight. We just need Q and Jared Jeffries back. I like Mardy Collins too, he's a true Knick warrior and when he gets more playing time after we trade Nate and Francis people will see that he is a fundamentally sound player, particularly on the defensive end, where the Knicks need help on the perimeter.

Go to hell to all the Jazz fans (also known as the NY Beat writers) in attendance tonight at the Garden.
