In all fairness though, I really like how Fields plays the game as he is a team player but I just think he is a bad fit for the SL unless he is making his shots (which he clearly isn't right now). Guys like Amare and Melo need shooters around them and although Fields was hitting that outside shot last year pre-Melo deal, not sure that he can keep that up for a long period of time. Pre-Melo deal, I think he fit in very well because we already had a bunch of shooters in the lineup and the spacing we had back then coupled with the unselfishness on offense really fit his game.

I think Landry is much better suited coming off the bench at this point and I'm guessing D'Antoni will have to try that soon now that Shumpert is back. Either way, too early to give up on Landry as a player at the beginning of his 2nd year in the league.....

This thread should have been dedicated to TD, Who is just a 6th man at best, and will never ever have PG skills, and should never be considered a combo guard..I believe the only reason he's considered a combo guard is his height.

There's no way in hell a real PG wouldn't gush( ask BDiddy) over playing with two of the top 10 scorers, and a athletic center who relishes ally oops..In a system that gives him total control..Fckng TD had 5 ast and 4 TO's last night..WTF, this dude is blind as a bat, and reacts like a freshman in college, missing wide open guys, then passing to guys late or too early.

We will suffer all day without good PG play, and we all know it. If the Bobcats scored 118, we should have scored 127, cause we have that much fire power to overcome our defensive liablities

I mean the evidence is there for Landry. Yeah he was a steal before melo...but what happened to the dude just because melo is around? I would trade him now but realisticly he needs to go to the bench immediately and back up the dude he's scared of and that's Melo.

As far as Tony....he is what he is. At least he plays wittgh heart and doesn't give up. He definately is a 6th man.

Baron Davis will solve the PG prob...Shumpert already solved the shooting guard spot

My blog

Iman Shumpert is a game changer. After what I saw in only his second game, fresh after straining his MCL ligament...this kid is absolutely for real. I'm talking a legit rookie of the year candidate unlike that bum Landry Fields from last year. What a joke Landry is! I hate to bash players in this spot so I'll be clear. I would love to hangout with Landry and throw down some pints of Guiness but no way do I want this dude playing on my professional basketball team! We heard about him practicing his corner 3 point shot and marveled at his new 24 inch pythons he got from training like Hulk Hogan in the off-seaon. What we got as a result is a dude that is absolutely scared to play NBA basketball. Where did he get better? He practiced a broken jumpshot all summer? Nobody tried to fix his mechanics? His shot is flat. I got into it on a message board about it and they brought up Reggie Miller and their favorite awkward shooters. Its embarrassing to even debate that. It doesn't matter how a guy shoots as long as the shot is consistant and has an ark giving it a chance to go in. Landry might as well one arm pitch it to the rim at this point. The dude can't put it on the floor either. His confidence is shot and I've come to the conclusion that this man is not made for MSG. He disappeared ever since the Carmelo deal. Its not the rookie wall. Its not that he doesn't get touches. The dude is afraid of the lights. Trade this guy....Please! At the very least put a real baller in and let Landry fill in behind guys that aren't afraid to play this game and compete. Its Shumpty Shump time!

Toney Douglas is what he is. He is not a point guard the same way Landry Fields is not a shooting guard. Thing is Douglas competes and doesn't give up. When Baron Davis makes his debute, Douglas will florish in the six man role. The same way you saw Iman Shumpert just come in and apply is will on the game, Baron Davis will do pretty much the same thing. Baron is a ball player. I had the privilage of seeing him live at rucker park when they had the tournament putting city against city. He showed up with his California squad and absolutely dominated. The man is a ball player. Nothing more or less. When he steps out we will see what this team is truly capable of. Right now Melo is struggling and working too hard for his 30 plus points. Stoudamire looks lost and laboring as well. Stat's body language to me suggest he isn't having fun out there. Baron takes the ball out of Melo's hands and lets him become more of a reciever where he could have room to operate. Stat will have his pick and roll back. Instead of moving the ball north and south, you will see the ball going east to west and guys will fall into their roles accordingly. Right now everyone is lost trying to do things they have no business doing. As a result the defense is out of sinc. Nobody is having fun out there.

Now fans...I hear you chanting for D'antoni to be fired. At this point, especially after seeing Balkman launch a three pointer last night, I'm ready for him to be fired as well. My thing is don't lose focus. The Knicks aren't stable yet. Shumpty Shump is gonna claim his spot at the starting shooting guard spot. Baron will be here soon running this team to its potential. Then Kenyon Martin will be here in March as soon as he's legally ready to join a NBA team. Don't abandon ship just yet. Our time is coming!

TD plays with heart, give me a smart player over a player with all the heart..

When felton was the PG, he would always find fields in the corner for a 3, at the elbow for a 3, or slashing for a easy layup..Don't get it twisted, fields was never a one on one player, Amare and felton made fields better..

Melo gets the ball(a avg faciltator) and he's looking for the PnR with amare or tyson, maybe he pentrates and kicks to douglas, thats all I'v seen from him so far as our primary playmaker.

Also you play Billy Walker as the back up shooting guard and make Landry play Shawne Williamams old role. Simple mathematics

FU Landry Fields is a bit strong. How about FU EnySpree?

How bout FU Misterearl?

Its easy to sit behind a computer and talk ****. Its the context. Were talking basketball. Landry is a pro. With becoming pro you need to take the critizism. What he does with it is him. I stated in my blog that I would drink with the dude but I don't want him on my basketball team. His role needs to be diminished or he needs to be flat out traded. Simple....life goes on.

I would tell Landry F.U. in his face. Thing is the context would be joking and he would get it and probably tell me F.U. too.

Now back to FU Enyspree....

I have no problem with that. Again its within the context. You can say what you want here and in public as well. Through the context things would play out accordingly

EnySpree: "I would tell Landry F.U. in his face."

No, you would not.

Play Lin.
