One thing I'll say though is if they keep teams under 90 points most games their offensive inefficiencies can be covered. I recall one play where James spun into the lane and met Tyson Chandler with both arms raised which caused a walk. Last season that was a layup with no resistance.

Toney may be young and fast.... but he's one of the slowest decision makers i've ever seen at the point. and he picks up his dribble at the point.

i'd be willing to bet money toney isn't the starting point guard on christmas day in the morning.

i think bibby starts for a while, then hopefully baron.

Toney Douglas is a "paint by numbers" guard. Too deliberate and WAY too predictable.

The years Mike Bibby played with the immature Atlanta Hawks stunted his game. With a veteran team he can manage the floor much more effectively and not be depended on for as much. He has the ability to lead.

Shift Du Jour

Bibby
Shumpert
Carmelo
Stoudemire
The Big Fella

Landry Fields is the sixth man
Harrelson is nice
Jeffries is 6'11
Balkman is Back

Baron Davis like the big city.

Remember the way it is in that starting doesnt really matter with MDA, just crunch time minutes. That being said, I would rather have shump and TD off the bench for a nice 1-2 scoring punch.

How awesome would it be if we get Davis. Davis and Bibby would probably be the best point guard combo the Knicks have ever had, barring injury of course.

You can't be serious....

Walt Frazier and my aunt Tillie>>>>>BDiddy and Bibby.

one thing: this nets team is horrible. holding them under 90 should be a requirement for every team in the league.

the offense has to hum, no matter what team you are. dallas and miami were amazing defensive clubs last year. their offense was also highly efficient. you need both.

toney will lose us games sooner or later if he keeps starting. probably sooner. i like the kid, it just shouldn't be his role.

If the Nets don't get Dwight and Deron Williams goes to Dallas... it's gonna be a sad first season in Brooklyn for the Nyets.

I did like what I saw from the defensive effort. There was much more hustle and communication. The energy was high. It's a tough thing to deal with that Motion offense and a mobile guy like Deron.
