ABCD you are 100 % no doubt the worst poster on this site by far. You make me miss NYKnicks126. Christ you are just so ignorant, basketball discussions are an arbitrary thing where it is fully based on OPINIONS. Meaning your opinion (especially your opinion) has no greater value then the opinion of any other poster. You?re so brainwashed by the fact that MSG backs you up that you get off by trying to be an internet tough guy and it?s played out and lame. Get some new material, or better yet be more like your idol Stephon Marbury and become inactive on this site.
Can somebody with an unbiased basketball opinion tell me how Chris Duhon played a bad game tonight? He set up his teammates, played defense, pushed the tempo, and had only one turnover in 39 minutes. That?s a pretty nice night if you ask me. Duhon is never going to average 20 points because he is a pass first point guard. We have plenty of guys who can put the ball in the basket we just need a point guard to facilitate the offense. And when we do want to put a point guard in the lineup that can create his own offense we insert Nate Robinson.
And hey don't bother responding with your tired Marbury rant about how good he is and how he deserves to play because I don't care and don't want to hear it. Also I got a hint for you don't celebrate the fact that he won a bronze medal. Especially when the team he won a bronze medal for was one of the greatest disgraces in American basketball history.
But hey bag on Duhon, Collins, Gallinari and anybody else on the roster if you feel it justifies your belief that Marbury is a great player but the fact remains that the Stephon Marbury era has come and gone. And despite the great 4 game playoff sweep you speak so fondly of the Stephon Marbury era will be remembered as an era of losing and embarrassment.
Also I like the stats under your signature so much I decided to add some of my own.
Agreed, I find it funny that Marbury fans on this site back up Marbury by saying he's done everything asked of him this year (which we've heard last year, and the year before that...) but when Duhon does what's asked of him as a point guard (that means ball distribution, servicable defense and the like) fans here still hate on him.
Look you can diss Duhon all you want but just because you think Duhon is bad doesn't mean neccessarily that Marbury is good. Walt "Clyde" Frazier, whom I regard highly in terms of his analysis and understanding of the game, even said that Duhon played well despite his stats not being jump off of the page. Here's what the important stat is in terms of Duhon: 4 Knicks with more that 15 points last night. That means the ball is being distributed well by the point guard, everyone is getting touches and everyone is scoring, something that would NOT happen in the Marbury offense. Does that make the Marbury offense worse? No, it doesn't. But you wouldn't see 4 Knicks with more than 15 points with Marbury running the point.
Furthermore, Duhon shot 3/4 last night, he isn't taking a ton of shots but last night he hit 75% of the ones he took, indicating better shot selection and ball movement when a good shot isn't available to him. Stephon Marbury does not do this either.
I mean you can keep criticizing Duhon all you want, the beauty of America is that we have the right to express our opinions, but calling one group or the other "stupid" because of their opinion (especially when Duhon had a nice game last night) is in and of itself "stupid". No opinions are wrong, and nobody is "stupid" for having an opinion different from yours.
