.500 is playoffs in the east. why all the agita right now -- our season was pissed away in november.

again, 3-11 in november. 6-9 in january.

outside of the hot december, the team is 9-20.

now, if they were above .500 in january, you can say things were coming together and moving forward. look at cha, chi and toronto surging now.

this is not a playoff team, nor is it a .500 team. it's a bad expansion team with a ton of cap room in the summer.

9-6 in December, 6-9 in January. What part of "our season was pissed away in November" did you disagree with?

so ... no we really didn't need AI.

that on its own means nothing kam...you dont think the knicks get a few more wins in that stretch than they presently have if AI was at the point? anyway you slice it, duhon is the sack to AI's crotch....a half hobbled AI too.

uhh no. duhon for all his suckitude runs a better floor game in terms of asst-to-to ratio.

David Lee just got done averaging 21pts per game in January. He doesn't do that if AI is here.
Wilson averaged 17 in january. That aint happening with AI here.

it was a no brainer to pick him up - look at it this way, if for nothing else than to have folks around here stop posting duon sucks threads 5 times a day, i'd take AI.

You're missing the point
AI was a rental for 2- 4 months.
Knicks was at most a longshot in Nov. season start to even sniff the playoffs
Old and weary AI is BETTER Than Duhon. End of story.

a rental. MDA and his boss needed to put their differences aside and speak with AI again
before giving the Knick public notion they didnt want him OR he'd ruin their rookies development? what crap !

The other AI in Philly never got rookie railroaded when he played as a youth in Sixerland and when AIverson left
Andre I. touted as a start hasnt picked up the sixers fortune too much. He had one decent season I think when 76ers
last made playoff run and sixers hasnt gone far even with Andre's development.

GARDEN needs some juice since there are 1/2 Knicks roster whom want to ball and other half roster are as marshmello soft
as you come when things ain't going their way. I dont like that is why I'd give up Duhon, Larry Hughes beard & 1million bucks
to have AIverson playing for few months as a Knick.

AI can get his points, create and still pass 6 - 9 assists to likes of Chandler, Lee and Gallo. Throw in Harrington when his shot is falling.
That is a decent upgrade over the sluggish Duhon whom can't wait to be substituted for since he cant take boos and cant handle NY anymore
cause when Duhon shot isn't falling he's as dead as a flat tire on a bicycle.

Flat tire on bike works better than Duhon. You have to have guts to play in NY. AI is old and could have played at MSG for few months
may have driven D'Antoni bonkers but believe you me he won't disappear the way you see Chris 'soft' Duhon does with all the minutes Duhon got.
