I like point guards who can score when they have to and thats one of the biggest question marks i have with duhorn. Im still not convinced that hes as good of a defender as advertised. He made some nice defensive plays but they were against backup point guards. I dont hate duhon, i dont even dislike him. I hope he does prove me wrong, for the best of the team but at this point i cant give him the credit that some of the other posters on here are givin him.
to any idiot who doesn't realize a pg is the most important position in a D'Antoni system, go back to the 2nd grade..
And thats why Duhon is playing. He creates on the floor. He can't shoot for shit so he gets the ball to the open guys.
Marbury was always a SG trapped in a PGs body. A lot of assists are manufactured when you are the primary ball handler. Just look at Lebron...He was always the guy bringing the ball up the court. So when he swings to a guy and they hit a jumped, he gets an assist for practically nothing. Guys who handle the ball the majority SHOULD be getting assists. Its just how it works...
Honestly, I've always thought Marbury was bad for D's system. Hes a 1/2 court player. Lots of iso and drive. Worked, but not what you want from D's system where ball movement is goal number 1. Thats why Crawford played so badly in the preseason because thats the ONLY way he could play. He needs the dribbles before shooting. Hell, he still will dribble a cpl times and put it throught his legs before jacking a three up...
We had WAY too many halfcourt players who relied on isolation basketball to get points...But that is kinda the way the league has been going lately...The rule changes on hand checking fouls and stuff have worked to create iso basketball because everyone(fans) wanna see ppl getting crossed over and a guy swooping in for a dunk...
Sad watching Ball today and then seeing vintage 80s shit like Lakers v. Celtics. Hell, I like watching 70s shit too. Bucks with Lew Alcindor and the Big O... Those guys could shoot...Ball moved around, there weren't great dunks and highlight plays, but it was such fundamental basketball an the competition between these teams and how they worked together as one unit made it beautiful...
Kinda like how Pele would talk of the beautiful game where they would play 3 strikers and try to score instead of how prof. leagues around the world are turning to counterattacking offenses now and games go 1-0 way too much.
. Duhon hasn't proved s#!t yet. He sucks.
What's your point, truth? :lol: That post didn't make sense, now that I reread it. Oh, well. I gotta start making better posts. Starting tomorrow, my posts are going to be top quality.duhon has yet proved anything to u but yet he sucks???interesting....
he's gonna get shitted on by Chris Paul
SMH @ Tuneraddict's ignorant post. Stephon Marbury is a point guard. How many shooting guards average 7.8 assists for their career? Plus, the season just started. Duhon hasn't proved s#!t yet. He sucks.
like chris paul doesnt shit on 99% of the NBA other PGs, and to abcd, u not makin sense cuz u said duhon hasnt proven anything to you and that he sucks, so u basically saying everybody hasnt proven anything to u sucks??
Sigh...Name call all you want. Atleast I think out what I write and actually care about the Knicks...
Where did I mention Duhon being good? I just said he is more built to be a player that makes plays for others...
You're childish name calling and insulting just shows the educated on this site what you really are, and that you don't really have an argument. Not really worth wasting my time.
This is the last time I acknowledge that you exist.
Don't listen to Tuneraddict. He thinks because he got a 100 on his SAT's that he's something special. I'm more educated than TunerAddict. I have a Doctoral Degree in Knicks education. I help poor posters become good posters, with training. :lol:Please explain.. I guess I'm not the educated enough
You guy's are idiots. Let's throw them Lee for nothing and pick up Harrington who is just a softer more athletic version of Z-Bo? At least Z-Bo is willing to bang in the post and Rebound. The only part I like about this trade is getting rid of Crawford for Jackson. You guy's could have at least threw in a draft pick or two for the loss of Lee, a double-double night in and night out,a "Team" player and all around good guy/pro, and a fan favorite. When the national media is talking bright spots about the Knicks they talk about Coach D , Donnie Walsh, Nate, Lee, Chandler and when they talk about the bad it allways about Marbury, Isiah, Dolan...... do you guy's see those programs like ESPN, Inside the NBA anything other than MSG ( I love MSG but that is the only broadcast I can find where anyone says anything positive about Starbury) We need to sit tight and realize that were going to have to keep and eat most of these bad contracts if were ever going to dig out of the financial mess Isiah and Dolan put us in beacause NO ONE wants our garbage for their gold!
