2010 Report Card: Al Harrington

May 12th, 2010 by Mike Kurylo

I really don’t have too much to say about Al Harrington that I didn’t say last year. Harrington is a guy who will create a lot of shots (20.9 pts/36) and makes them at a good percentage (54.6% TS%) considering his volume. But that’s where the positives end; he’s not a good passer, rebounder or [...]

2010 Report Card: Danilo Gallinari

May 10th, 2010 by Mike Kurylo

Perhaps Gallinari’s biggest accomplishment in 2010 was just as simple as staying on the court. The Knicks forward only managed 412 minutes in his rookie year due to a preseason back injury. The biggest question surrounding Gallo going into this season was not how well could play, but how much he could play. Being second [...]

2010 Report Card: Earl Barron

The Earl of Barron Earl “The Pearl” Barron Earl “The Duke” Barron Ah, the late season gem. Over the last ten years (Can we start calling it “The Lost Decade?”), Nix fans have had precious little to root for as the calendar hit March and April. The 8th seed was a lofty place where our [...]

2010 Report Card: Eddy Curry

May 6th, 2010 by Mike Kurylo

Given Curry’s lack of court time last year there’s no point in doing any kind of statistical analysis of him. In fact he’s only played 10 games total in his 2 seasons under D’Antoni. And I don’t foresee any more in a New York uniform. At this point he’s merely a big contract, a tumor [...]

Viva Los Suns

May 4th, 2010 by DCrockett17

Today I am a Suns fan, and it has nothing to do with Channing Frye’s jump shot. Suns owner Robert Sarver released a statement through the team denouncing SB 1070, Arizona’s controversial asinine immigration law, in no uncertain terms. The money quote: The frustration with the federal government’s failure to deal with the issue of [...]

2010 Report Card: David Lee

May 4th, 2010 by Mike Kurylo

This year the New York Knicks added a new wrinkle to their offense. A good portion of their half court set consisted of keeping David Lee on the perimeter with the ball, allowing him to orchestrate the offense. I’m not exactly sure why this was done, perhaps D’Antoni wanted to bring the opposing center on [...]
