Doug: You’re weird. You might also have anger problems.

Yeah, agreed

Bibby virtually invisible when he plays. He doesn’t even want bring the ball up when Knicks get possession. I would put money on that this is his last year in NBA. Our GM really should cut him and get FA PF.

TelegraphedPass: It mostly came out of a situation that wasn’t his fault. I felt the Knicks were giving him far too much credit over the years. He was a limited defensive talent in the NBA and I didn’t trust his outside shot. I didn’t like him in interviews and I sensed the team preparing to give him major responsibility. I started to get nervous, and that made me start to hate him even more for everything he wasn’t and couldn’t be. Then Chancey got hurt in the playoffs.

I immediately knew ___ would have to fill in, and was worried he would be a monumental failure. RR marinated him and devoured Blank Line in his leisure. After several nights of abject misery after being swept by the team I hate more than any sports team in any sport ever, my hatred cooled to a sort of icy loathing.

Fast forward. Chauncey has been amnestied to make room for Tyson. Empty Space is now the starting point guard for my Knicks on opening day of the 2011-2012 season. My rage has ignited. He begins the year looking even worse than I gave him credit for. At this point, I’m considering ritual suicide as opposed to seeing Solitary Line CONTINUE to utterly fail to make a pass out of the pick and roll to two of the most dangerous finishers in the league.

Point of this tl;dnr is: Thank Tebow for Jeremy Lin, and I still hate this guy ——> ___________

jon abbey: fair enough. to me, clearly he was going through some things earlier in the year, physical, family, both or whatever. Bibby is a walking corpse out there, so if Douglas can play 12-15 minutes better than that, I’m all for it.what didn’t you like about him last year? just curious, he doesn’t seem like a kind of guy who inspires much hate.

I’m with you, jon. Douglas has had good stretches for us, especially in a proper role. His lack of peripheral vision causes him to get blindsided on screens and his shoulder is probably shot in the short run. He has sucked this year, and D’Antoni or whoever should not have assumed he was the PG answer in the short run. Still, I like the guy personally, he always gives 110% of what he has, even if it ain’t much. I’m all for giving him a chance to play over Bibby, who is terrible on both ends. At least TD can make some speed plays on D.

cgreene: Exactly. And Wade has a mediocre jumper. And I disagree that Shump doesn’t have a size advantage. He is incredibly strong for his position (heard Clyde comment on this several times) and he has very long arms. The thing I would think he would need to be good in the post is better passing skills as he would get doubled. I can think of lots of other guards in the post btw.

Kobe. MarShon Brooks. Wade. Monta sometimes. And a few point guards like Deron. That is a very short list compared to the sheer number of guards in the league. And an outside shot would be infinitely more useful to this team right now.

TelegraphedPass: I struggle to see how a player without a well-developed jumpshot or a significant size advantage can benefit from a post game more than simply working on his jumpert. I mean, Wade has shown the benefits of a guard having a strong post game, but he’s a once-in-a-generation talent. I would much rather Shumpert keep working on his J.

Exactly. And Wade has a mediocre jumper. And I disagree that Shump doesn’t have a size advantage.
