Stephon Marbury has taken to Twitter to show Boston some love before... and he's doing it again. In fact, he mentions Boston almost every time he's on Twitter. This time, he's defending us against the haters.
@starburymarbury just forget the haters.. 99% of those haters are from boston, and 99% of boston don't really know anything about the NBA.

@mokalus thats not true. boston fans are with it my dude. they can follow anything that has to do with basketball
Yes... we're awesome. In fact, Starbury still lists Boston has his "location" on Twitter. And in case you still didn't think he enjoyed his time here:
Too bad he's not coming back. Or...
Depending on what the C's do with Marquis Daniels, they could still have $1.9 million hanging around. Guess it depends on what other offers there are out there. I just wonder if he's looking at that re-vamped Boston bench and thinking that a one-year deal would be his best chance to not only win a ring... but to get one more big payday.
Also out there: Nash gets 2 year extension in Phoenix | Jarret Jack to Toronto
After the jump, Antoine Walker's mug shot
Former NBA All-Star Antoine Walker said nothing in a Las Vegas court yesterday about criminal charges that he failed to repay $822,500 in casino gambling debts.
The 6-foot-9 Walker also declined to comment outside the courtroom after appearing briefly with his lawyer, Jonathan Powell, on three felony counts of writing 10 bad checks to three Vegas casinos. Powell also declined to comment.
Walker, the former captain of the Celtics, was not asked to enter a plea before a Sept. 16 evidentiary hearing date was set. Prosecutor Bernie Zadrowski told the judge the two sides might try to negotiate a settlement before that date.
