I know everyone like Al Harrington right now, but he's garbage. Get the damn ball

Why is he garbage?
Jerome James is garbage.

Harrington is a very good player with some flaws, but he is useful for a team like ours. We are just missing too many other key parts!

Breen said that the Knicks were doing a lot of talking on D, and then forced a 24 second violation!

And then

Al" Mr. Garbage" Harrington nails a 3 at the buzzer to cut the lead to 1!

Well, okay, maybe garbage was a bit harsh but this is a game thread. I'm not meditating on fairness before I post in these bad boys. He's okay. Is that better?

I hear you, I'm just sayin...

I like Harrington so i'm obviously biased, but i see him giving us more than Craw did, because he doesn't dominate the ball and still gets his points.

He isn't a good rebounder but he is more of a wing player with a little size. He's athletic and looks for his teammates.

What's the big beef? Maybe a bit of a chucker, but no where near Craw levels..

And there he goes again with the drive. I like that part of his game which...Craw...who i liked less...barely relied on.

I don't mean to make it like I'm spewing venom. I'm just getting into the game (WTF, did I just say that?!?!?! been a minute) and everyone seems to love Harrington.... but to me he's kind of like Tim Thomas-lite. If he played aggressive all the time, didn't love the outside so much, he'd live up to his full talent.

I know he's not as bad as Tim or Craw, but I have similar feelings. He could have been real good IMO

Tim Thomas Lite?

Sorry man, I don;t see that at all. Tim Thomas is a soft player when it comes to going to the basket. Harrington is more aggressive by far. He's also always played with other bigger scorers so maybe he has taken a back seat. Since coming here after a few games he's really stepped up for us, and helped us in every game.

Where do you see this Tim Thomas-Lite thing?

I think Al, like Tim, has been a guard in a forwards body throughout his career, and has often been guilty of not playing a like a player who's 6'9 245 should. He has skills, but I understand Supreme's position here. I've felt the same way about Al...a lot of talent but a guy too content to chuck 3's and take low percentage shots when a guy his size could be doing so much more closer to the basket.

Just lastly on Al, one doesn't have to be a superstar to be a very good player, and somehow be considered a disappointment.

He's a star player, and good teams need star players to do their thing, and carry a team from time to time.

Given we have no superstar, he is stepping up and doing very well for us, and doesn't take as many bad shots as Craw.

Knicks aren't a defensive team, but they do work hard on it and have some nice sequences.
