The Sunsman Defense Team
Here is the latest from Paul Coro's blog on yet another Marion incident:
Lost in the notebook from Monday, Shawn Marion was queried with the oft-asked question that has no answer: who will guard Tim Duncan?
Marion said, "I don't know," before pausing as some reporters chuckled and then adding, "That's not funny."
He smiled but you know there was a part of him -- the part that wants to be exclusively a small forward -- that wonders if he is not going to be part of the attempt to solve that riddle. He did not spend all of his time at the four in the Suns' first scrimmages.
His team was the starters. That included Boris Diaw in place of Amare Stoudemire and Eric Piatkowski as a sub with Steve Nash, Raja Bell, Grant Hill and Marion. When Diaw subbed out, there was Marion playing the five against Sean Marks. It's semantics with the Suns anyway. The four and the five do much of the same things, just like the two and the three are interchangeable. The only real difference is who they cover defensively.
Marion won't have to worry about the big fellas.
"I don't have a problem," Stoudemire said of guarding the league's biggest centers. "I guard Shaq, Yao Ming, Dwight Howard, all the 7-footers throughout the conference. I got 'em."

I think I have had just about enough of Shawn Marion. I can tell this craziness is going to go on all season long - and the season hasn't started yet.
Everyday is the same: How is Marion acting? Do you still want to get traded? Is Marion smiling today? Does he want to play power forward?
When asked if championships are important, he said, "Yes, but there are things more important than a championship too." True, but that statement also indicates you don't want to be here.
There are many who would love to play starting power forward for the Suns - and Marion is wasting that space. He is an annoying cancer on this team and must go.
This is the Suns. A Team. It is not about the individual and reports everyday should not focus on one guy. Amare, Nash, Hill, Bell, Diaw, and Barbosa are such gentlemen and accept their place on the team. Marion keeps whining that he doesn't want to play power forward and instead of saying "I'll try to guard him or do the best I can," he says, "I don't know. It's not funny" regarding Tim Duncan. Such a poor loser.
Marion's stupid attitude is going to harm the chemistry even more than if the Suns were to bring in a new player. Toss him out and bring in AK or Lamar.
Here is the way I see it now:
Marion is 1 of 13 players on the team. That is roughly 8 percent of the club. Right now, I have respect for 12 of 13 guys and therefore am a 92% Suns Fan - not 100%. Stupid ******* Marion.
Okay. Now begin your daily Sunsman44 bashing below. It is becoming a tradition every morning. Come on. Throw your punches at me. Just won't be reading any of your comments whatsoever.
