The End of an Error?

Reports are coming out that (meaning I read them on other websites) Stephon Marbury is going to need season-ending surgery to remove bone spurs from his ankle. If true, it is possible that we have seen the last of Starbury at the Garden.

Stay tuned.

[Update: Stephon isn't under the knife just yet. Apparently he is having an MRI on Thursday to determine IF he actually does have bone spurs in his ankle. All that happened yesterday was that Steph admitted that IF he does have bone spurs that he WILL opt for surgery immediately rather than trying to continue playing through the pain as he has been and as he did during the 2002-2003 season.]

Q: What is far more improbable than what happened in Dallas last night?

A: The Knicks beating the Pistons last night.

In fact, the Knicks didn't just win, they blew the Pistons out, leading by as many as thirty points in the second half. The dozens and dozens of people who saw the game can corroborate this story, as can these newspaper articles:
