"I think Chris Duhon is a hell of a point guard," D'Antoni said. "I think he does a lot of little things that people don't see. If you don't study tape, you don't grasp what he does. I'm comfortable with certain guys. That's how I want to go."

hey, maybe Chris Duhon does not suck that bad after all

Of course he doesn't. But NY fans won't be happy until eveyrone on the team is named Lebron James
I just hope that people will like me

That can easily be arranged....

Is it just me or do these Knicks look like they enjoy playing together and actually LIKE each other?

Duhon is not flashy but the dude is a stabilizer. No drama and very few turnovers.

definitely is nice to see... this is exactly what i wanted to see & why i wanted Marbury outta here.
After 7 years & 40K+ posts, banned by martin for calling Nalod a 'moron'. Awesome.

For all of the blather about the 7 second offense it is apparent that D'Antoni is much more than a one-trick pony. I would offer that his smile conceals the demeanor of an intense disiplinarian who commands the total respect of his players.

Forget the wins. His effect on the roster is only starting to reveal itself with some refreshed confidence and trust.

Imagine Trevor Ariza in this system

D'Antoni speaks of the Marbury situation being resolved soon. Didn't want players (especially the guards looking over their shoulders)

Translation: Duhon and Nate are free to work through their mistakes and he has confidence in their ability to lead a good team. Steph has worked despite a tough situation it and done what was asked. Was decided in training camp.

Extra Translation: Marbury was a cancer that had to be eliminated

Lebron is good.

There is an extra "o" there.

D'Antoni sounds more and more like a New Yorker every day.

Hidden behind that smile is the same icy demeanor and dedication to task as Tony Soprano
