The circus that is the Knicks has added yet another side show to the mix, in the form of Crawford Gate. I really thought Crawford would soar to the next level in D’Antoni’s system but, he has been struggling so much that Marbury might be the answer for New York at shooting guard.
“Mike D’Antoni confirmed today that Stephon Marbury will start at shooting guard instead of Jamal Crawford when the Knicks play their second-to-last preseason game at the Garden against the Celtics tonight. Marbury will make his first start of the preseason after coming off the bench for the first five games. Crawford has struggled in D’Antoni’s new high-tempo offense, lowlighted by last night’s 1-for-6, four-point outing in a victory over the Nets. ”
