I keep backing things up with actual evidence and you keep saying things like I think we would have won because I think he is a good rebounder. Doesn't your argument have to be stronger then that.

if you cannot see the evidence then you are just not understanding my point or you don't fully understand the numbers. something as simple as the difference between a differential and a rate and how it's reflective of an individual or team's ability is pretty simple. quoting records of guys who play 10mpg and their playing status is pretty weak.

anyway, you either see it or you don't. when AR gets back on the court regularly and mozgov is glued to the bench then we'll see.

AR needs to just practice hard and stay in condition so when his number is called he will be ready. Bang the boards and defend well. don't worry about scoring just focus on defence and he will get playing time then the shots and points will came.

This, in a nutshell, is AR's key to success. He must become a lockdown defender and a demon on the boards. When he was interviewed during the summer, the first thing out of his mouth was how hard he'd been working on his jump shot. He needs to be working on his low post bank shot and offense in the paint. If he takes a page from his good friend Ronny, he can become the beast that we all hope he is.

Perhaps one day MDA writes a book and discloses wtf is going on.

He's been pretty clear. This is from the preseason

"He's got big potential," D'Antoni said of the third-year forward. "What does potential mean? Up to now he hasn't done a whole lot. He's good. He's got talent, great future and we hope all that. We got to keep teaching him and he's got to keep learning. Every once in a while he'll go off on a tangent that he can't do during the regular season. We're trying to get him to understand do the easy things. But it's up to him."

"He should be a stat magnet," D'Antoni said. "He should go on the floor and have three blocks, five rebounds get to the line three times, have two dunks, come out and he's only played five minutes. And you'll say 'whoa, look at that.' He has to have so much energy that he's changing the game."

It's been very clear what they are looking for.

sounds like the Knicks want him to play like a young Camby but he wants to play like Kevin Durant.

WOW!! YOU JUST HIT IT OUT OF THE PARK!!
