kam77 - saavy? C'mon, he's played a total of 79 minutes. sheesh.

you slay me

Are you allergic to any form of criticism?

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.

if we could extract douglas' attitude and approach to the game into too many of our players, we'd be a better team.
Forum Po Po and #33 for a reason...

kam77 - I'm only allergic to criticism based on nitpicking

Toney Douglas played a helluva game. Period. For you to call him on not having more "saavy" is patently ridiculous and arbitrary

great game for douglas.. Duhon meet bench, bench meet duhon..

Gallo continues to get frozen out.. LOL.. just odd

Dantoni with horrible sub patterns tonight, especially with gallo..

Al Is a fool and can't be trusted out there.

Hughes defends well, just wish he didn't think he could score..

Chandler seems to be comming around.

Lee got beat on the boards and defense tonight..

NO hill or darko?

Same old, same old... 1-7

Anyone who sits around and waits for the lottery to better themselves, either in real life or in sports, Is a Loser............... TKF

Did you work on the "formidable" campaign for the Knicks? No offense but you come off as an overhype propaganda machine that only appears when a player does well.

Now guys, don't get snippy. I read Kam's remark more as suggesting Toney doesn't seem to have the savvy now, but could develop it. I could be wrong.

Good game from TD. He played great. Made a little mistake in the end where he picked up his dribble too early and was forced into a bad shot, but overall nice job from this kid. He just has to trust himself that he can go all the way to the rim and finish. We saw that he can penetrate all the way to the goal - he did it successfully quite a few times tonight during the comeback. He'll learn from this. The next time I expect him to take it all the way home. On a play like that last one for the game, he's gotta stay away from that step back mid-range shot he looked for a lot in college - it looked like that's what he was trying to do there, instead of driving it straight to the rack. It's OK, he's showing good signs. He'll learn that that's not the best shot he can take in a situation like that anymore...If I didn't think he could drive the ball, I wouldn't even say anything but he can - he just needs confidence and needs to break old habits a little bit.

Adjustments that should be made: (1) Stick with TD now for big mins. each game and (2) return Harrington to the starting lineup and leave him there. Sorry but he's our best player and doesn't belong coming off the bench. If I'm D'Antoni I reinsert Al back in the starting lineup ASAP and start to lean on him -- he didn't have a great game tonight shooting the ball but he played hard. To me, mistakes and all, he's by far the best offensive player we have on this team. Best all around player too if you ask me. And he wants to be the leader which is huge...Maybe when Nate comes back, Al starts again. To me, on this team unless they can come up with something better in a trade, you feature Al as your star player, your main guy - that's how you get the most outta this guy imho. Just tell Al it's your team big fella, do your thing..Just my 2 cents...

Hill not playing tonight was a joke btw. Guy just had two nice games in a row and tonight can't get in there against Boozer and Millsap?? WTF? He earned the right to play tonight. And we could've used him...

I never said he didn't play a helluva game. Next time, with more experience he would've tried to draw the foul.

Jeezus Fucking Christ earl did i say he has an innate savvy-ness deficiency? You are so hyper-attuned to any perceived slight against any black player that you gleefully point out where Gallo is lacking IQ, not bothering to explain yourself. Nonsense. I'm dropping the kid gloves.

lol @ being BANNED by Martin since 11/07/10 (for asking if Mr. Earl had a point). Really, Martin? C'mon. This is the internet. I've seen much worse on this site. By Earl himself. Drop the hypocrisy.
