Now granted the only offense we would get with that backcourt would be off of steals but for 5 mins a game it might be worth taking a look at....

I think that would be absolutely awesome and I would definitely like to see the second unity press/trap a lot more

I think if Woody gets TD going as a defensive specialist who comes in and focuses on just one thing & one thing only (think of Novakane & the 3 ball) & manages to resurrect his game, he should get coach of the year.

As Today's Special is defense, imagine Iman Shumpert and Toney Douglas locking it down in the backcourt for a juicy five minute shift.

I hope you're right. The kid deserves a second chance.

a second chance at the bench. I don't mean to sound critical of you so, please don't take it personal but, we don't need Toni running around in circles, letting the shot clock run out before forcing a pass that leads to a turnover or chucking a bad shot. That has nothing to do with a weak shoulder and everything to do with a weak mind.

I'd rather see Walker or the Ghost that was Mike Bibby get play time before seeing him on the floor. Walker was defending (not great) but decently and was helping on the boards and just all around the good with him was better than the bad.

TD deserves a few minutes that's all I'm saying. I've never considered him a 1 but an undersized 2. TD at the 2 with Shump at the 1 for a few minutes and let's see what happens.

As I said in an earlier post, he got benched for a long stretch and got some PT in the closing minutes of a blowout. Instead of showing that he understood why he was benched, Douglas jacked up on bad 3 after another, ignored his teammates for the most part, and played like he didn't learn a damn thing from the benching.

That's not a shoulder injury asserting itself, that's poor decision making asserting itself, and its why Bibby is a better fit right now. I just want TD to prove that he's not the same player that was benched. If Toney can do that then I'm all for his returning to the rotation and getting Bibby's minutes.

Don't give me orgasm while I'm still at my desk man...

The guy has a career as a sharp shooter, but his shoulder injury messed it all up.

We buried the guy, so now he is climbing out of the ground.

Rookie wrote:he could be the worst defender on the team...and that's saying something. I like that he stays in front of his man, but he doesn't stop back pedaling until the opposing guard gets an easy lay up. I like that he fights through screens, but where is the finesse...looks more like a car wreck

last season you mean (defensively). This season, his jump shot disappeared along with his defense and brain. The guy was just making dumb bonehead play after dumbass bonehead play.

His defense was non-existent and he was getting blazed by 2nd string guards.

He's a better outside shooter than he is driving to the hoop. He just has difficulty finishing around the basket.

True but if he doesn't drive he's never going to get open look and will continue to fire away from 3 feet beyond the 3 point line.
