Of course Douglas is not a PG. We know this now. Cast your mind back to the post trade Knicks this time last year though. Remember when Billups was advising Douglas and how most felt regarding his prospects of becoming a more rounded PG. The Knicks attempted to continue this by getting Davis to spend some time with Douglas this year. It failed miserably. The result was cringeworthy. Remember that the Warriors ended last season with a 44% record and at no time was Lin asked to alleviate the strain that Curry incurred. Again you cannot place serious blame on the Knicks for not pioneering by using Lin properly; something they did eventually do.
we've known for a long time that lin is not a pg. i think what you meant to say is we only just learned that he cannot become one, which is not 100% false. i was a part of the people that thought he could turn into at least an average pg, hes fast, he can shoot, he can play good defense, all he needs to change is his ability to see and distribute. we now know that he isnt a person that will ever be able to see and distribute.
are you saying the warriors situation is at all similar to ours? you said yourself....CURRY was running the pg. someone they just drafted fairly highly. NOT an undersized combo guard that cant even shoot consistently or defend anyone. if we had taken a pg with the 7th pick overall i could understand keeping him in there. but td is/was neither a high pick nor a pg. again, completely irrelevant and you are a retard for bringing that up.
If Lin started sooner, he would not be having the profound, earth-shattering success he now is.
D'antoni is a mastermind genius for handling it as he did, and as a result of the way D'antoni handled Lin, we are reaping the benefits of the most surprising story of a player exceeding expectations in years.
This is confirmed by the reality of Lin's current play since he became a starter, and that Lin himself has said that the way he was handled allowed him to learn the ropes, gain confidence, and get coached by D'antoni in D'antoni's system, which Lin says is a perfect fit for him and is, "offensive genius".
this reminds me of a religious nut that said "god is the greatest, for him to be the greatest, he must exist, therefore he exists"
you cannot state that an event (that could be the result of any number of conditions) proves any one condition.
if a terrorist wanted to soften us up for a big blow by giving us all massive colds, i would get sick. i have a massive cold, therefore the state of new jersey will be attacked. same logic.
dude I could not resist.....I just realized your a young kid....
Look at your quote below....BY the way...coaches Thomas, Brown, Danotnio, Karl have elected not to see the Super Balkman u see....
" i still think he was bombing on purpose because he felt he didnt have a pg that could run his system, and honestly if a bad start means we make a deal for a pg when we have none "
Dantonio wanted to lose on purporse ????? Your cute.
i see three possible reasons for the offense being as atrocious as it was (outside of the pg situation).
dantoni either told them to ran plays or he didnt. the players either ignored his order to run plays or they didnt.
1) dantoni called plays and they refused to run them
2) dantoni did not call plays because he forgot how to, thought it wouldnt make a difference, etc
3) dantoni did not call plays on purpose
which is the most likely scenario?
