viktor_haagThings just went from bad to worse for the New York Knicks. Apparently, at the game yesterday, Stephon Marbury's father left the Garden with chest pains, went to a local hospital, and died there. Marbury wasn't told about his father's distress until after the game (which, given how the whole thing went down, might have been an unavoidable circiumstance, or it might be yet another piece of evidence that Knicks are a whacked out organization). But this is sure to put a real clamp on the morale of Marbury, and by consequence, the team. And the team lost to the Suns last night, to boot.
At .313, the Knicks are far from the worst team in the league, nor are they close to being the most disappointing (that gorgeous distinction would most likely be evenly shared by the .286 Bulls and the .250 Heat, without a shadow of a doubt).
But they are most probably the most screwed up organization in the league at the moment, and having your erratic point-guard's father die while in attendance at a home game is not the kind of fortune that this team (or Marbury himself) needs.
