Frank: On top of that – his TS was 56.8% in the 2nd half last year, and although I can’t find his usage% for that period, for the year it was “only” 20.1. This year it is 39.7 on a usage of 25%. He BARELY lost out to Jeremy Pargo for worst TS% for any point guard in the league, but has a higher usage and plays nearly double the minutes so in effect it’s even worse. He has the 5th worst TS% for any guard in the ENTIRE LEAGUE (behind Pargo, Roger Mason, Marquis Daniels, and Lance Stephenson) and shoots and plays more minutes than any of the ones worse than him.

What is it with “superstar” NYC HS PGs these days. Stephenson is here and earlier someone ridiculed or had Telfair as the only PG worse than Bibby and TD or something to that effect. Just a question.

hoolahoop: Show me the evidence.

zzzzzzz….

Toney shot 2.4/6.0 (40.5%) from 3 point range in the post-all-star break period:

And multiple media outlets have noted that his total suckage this year was unexpected given how well he shot the 2nd half of last year. Here’s just one for example (1st paragraph):

But only in theory. ;)

His shoulder was hurt in the first half of 2010/11- he sucked.

His shoulder got healthy over the break – he came back and was awesome shooting the ball.

His shoulder got hurt again – he sucked for the rest of last season. Remember how bad he was in the playoffs?

His shoulder is still hurt in 2011/12 – he sucks.

Toney’s one clear-cut skill is that he hits threes at a prodigious rate. When the shoulder was affecting him last year, he couldn’t do that at all. This year he can’t do it at all. It does not mean that the shoulder is definitely hurt, but I think it is a realistic possibility, especially since so many players stupidly lie about injuries.

Frank: . Last year he shot 40% from 3 after the all-star break, leading the entire league in triples.

Show me the evidence.

As to NYK, yes JD screwed us.The only silver lining I see to this is that the abject failure of these Knicks will convince him that he should hire good basketball people and stay out of their way.

clearly, you haven’t spent much time around narcissistic people with addictive personalities much. :-)
