Lol.

Good sign, now they have some depth, and great they signed him before March 1st, he can play in the post-season now.

Why didn't the Knicks wait a few days, then realease him. They just gave Boston the title probably.

Through halftime, Marbury's got a 5:08 on the floor, 1-2 from the field.

Glad to see him finally in Boston after all the talks and nothing happened. Very happy to know he can play in playoffs.

i believe he will do better since he actually has teammates that can move the ball around the paint. i think he will do much better than in the knicks
