That is the issue with Douglas. If he isn't scoring he is useless.

Dude must sleep in a desert. He's Nate Robinson without the athleticism and immaturity. Just a nightmare to watch....no one at MSG including his teammates, and viewers knows wth he is going to do on the court.

i can see why mike gets on him, he needs to play smarter.

We need vets like Battier. Guys you can trust to make the right play.

He's much like No Sharrington was last year. Momentum rally killer late in games...a guy when he makes a 3 when looked at objectively isn't necessarily in the best interest of the team because he'll follow it up with a heave, a floating chuck, a turnover trying launch from his own 10yrd line, then back to making a layup, then an air ball 3, then an ankle breaking making 3. All without his teammates ever seeing the rock

I'm tired of watching this from him....sick and tired of it

His defense is laughable at times, he's more a hacker than anything else and commits them at the most inopportune time. I've never seen him run 4-5set plays in a row for someone else not named Toney Douglas....he was told by coach on the sidelines to Do U earlier this year and Toney just smiled...knowing inside his head he told himself you ain't said nothing but the first 3 letters of my last name coach best believe I will.

Defense, not offense, is the key to playoff victories.

I did like what I saw from the Knicks overall in this game on the defensive end. Rose had a few leakouts and clear shots at the basket, but not to the degree that he usually does. Our D gave them some trouble at times, we just weren't hitting shots. This team can defend and I fully expect that in the Playoffs this team will be much sharper on D and have some answers on offense that we haven't shown teams yet.

It will make a difference having a healthy STAT in there too you know. The idea is that we play teams full strength and in that scenario I think it's MUCH harder to defend this team than what the Bull saw tonight. Don't be so sure that this Knicks team won't have some adjustments for when teams try to do what the Bulls did. That's what makes the playoffs so different. When the talent is equal it's often in the adjustments each team makes. We missed a lot of wide open shots and obviously we have the ability to hit those shots. If we did, the Bulls would not have won. It wasn't all their defense that made them win, it was also some bad offense by the Knicks. I don't believe that teams are going to be able to consistently hold this team down from scoring. The Knicks are a legit high power offensive team. Teams generally don't stop us, we stop ourselves.
