Please explain the first point, and the second I find rather funny, Kidd certainly is not guarding sf's.

Kidd is a backup regardless what guard position he plays, the only reason why Kidd starts is because felton can't run the point effectively by himself.

Prigioni could be the back up if Woodson would trust him more, the players love playing with him and he's not some 24 yr old rookie in the association he's 35 and has won championships as a starting pg overseas. He's a great ball hawker and he knows how to get players the ball where they want it.

I think as a rookie with these personalities he's taken a back seat on playing a complete game. When he went up against Ricky Rubio he was more aggressive offensively. Kidd was defending Kobe who was playing SF's in the game. Kidd just knows how to position himself against bigger players and he's pretty strong .
Give him more time and you will see our true pg emerge.

Woody played JR at the pg position when Felton went out of the game with a hand injury and that probably disturbed Pablo confidence a little bit.

Prigs is not the greatest defender , but you can be sure he knows how to play the position and is 4 yrs younger than Kidd and can finish at the rim. Kidd was getting his lob pass deflected just like Felton with the lack of ability to stay in the air and loop a pass around the last defender at the rim.

Prigs is the guy who convinced all knicks fans that he's a keeper, when he kept the ball moving while he was on the court during the 6 game winning streak.

Also Woody knows if he sits Felton in favor of Pablo during some crucial points of the game it would destroy Felton's confidence immensely.

I told you guys he's the real deal, surprised Briggs didn't jump all over this.

Give those 2 more practice time and I believe that they will be lethal.

Felton/Chandler
Pablo/Amare

Amare's rehab is incomplete. He could be done. The hope is that he can reinvent himself in the same manner Larry Johnson recognized after his hops disappeared. If not, thank you for the effort and courage.

shift du jour

Priggi Smalls. was sincere and humble in his post game interview with Tina. His smile lit up the entire lower bowl of The Garden. The game is not complicated. You play defense. You share the ball. Every time Pablo steals an inbounds pass, the entire 1987 Detroit Pistons roster feels a tingle in their collective spine.

JR The Magnificent. "No he di'nt!". His rebounding is becoming a consistent trait.

SuperMelo. Sitting back and enjoying the ride.

I'm Camby Dammit. His passing ability is contagious. A nice skill set to get Tyson's back. Literally. (did someone see a heating pad?)

Tyson Chandler. Could learn to love running with someone he looks up to. Keep your eyes up because the pass may come from some strange angles.

I always cheered for Priggs with a full head of steam

Since Tau Ceramica in 2003 or Real Madrid in 2009?

It was mostly about his age if I remember correctly.

jrodmc: ...Skyscrapers...and everything. His handle's sure, his game is fast and gritty. He'll spend this season patrolling the real court of New York City... Livin just enough, just enough...for the City!

Seriously, folks are worried about what amounts to a Euro-seasoned low paid rookie getting minutes? Any positives we get out of Prigs (hey tkf, roll on the floor some more) are going to be a bonus.

We went from the one shot wonder of the universe backed up by the platoon duo of elder-walking wounded at PG, to Felton, Kidd, Prigs. Mix in a little Shump when he's healthy.

Major props, stylish, documented and due.
