Special drill at practice
At today's practice, D'Antoni ran a special drill for Baron Davis so he could master the Toney Douglas techinique of first telegraphing a pass to Carmelo twice, then throwing the ball as hard as possible at Carmelo's ankles, while Carmelo is triple-teamed and Stat stands unguarded under the basket.
Until Davis masters the technique, D'Antoni said the point guard will not be ready to play in his system.
