Anybody notice how slim he is? I remember him to be a lot thicker when he was with Indiana and Atlanta. He actually appears skinny.

His game is more loosey goosey as well. I remember him to be more power and inside. Now the guy shows a nice handle and slashing ability. His jumpshot is also much improved, ignoring the fact he was 1-7 from 3 the other night, lol. He's gonna hit a better % of those shots once his legs are back underneath him.

I'm very impressed with Al Harrington. I can easily see this guy eclipsing the 20pt per game mark.

I also can't say enough about the Knicks rotation. I love Wilson and Al Harrington together. David Lee is a nice floater to have (wish he was Marcus Camby!)and he just needs a guy like Jared to spell him when he comes back. Tim Thomas has been excellent too as the forwards sub...I can see him getting 12pts per off the bench.

When Nate, Jared, and Cuttino come back? These Knicks are gonna be really good IMHO!:

Wilson/Timmy/Lee/Jared
Harrington/Timmy/Q
Lee/ Jared
Duhon/Nate
Mobley/Q

9 man rotation.....

I know a lot of you don't like to get too high for risk of getting your feeling hurt.....but I'm very excited and think this group when healthy can bust some serious caca pumps!

Al Harrington's a pretty nice player... he's not gonna be able to carry the offense but he can ball... i seriously don't get all the hate comments he gets around here.

I don't get the hate either.

But do you notice how his body and his game changed over the years? He's a totally different player now.

I'm not an Al hater - I actually like him and I think he makes us better than Crawford (via addition by subtraction).

That said - Al took 24 shots last night and had zero assists. That is not the way to introduce yourself to new teammates. Now if he went 16 for 24 ok but I think he went 8-24.

Al needs to move the ball more and then attack -- he can't attack or shoot every time he touches the ball.

I've actually been impressed with the way Thomas is picking his spots. Just wish he'd use his natural ability a lot more to get to the rim and finish. Tim Thomas has always had such an outstanding skill package = its too bad he's never put it to maximum use.

I have a feeling D'Antoni told him to get his shot off and not worry about passing - he doesn't know the system, and he needs to get back into rhythm as far as scoring.

I am sure you will see him pass the ball more in subsequent games as he gets some practice under him.

I thought Al took whatever shot that was givin to him. he hasn't been forcing shots. He hasn't played alot so his timing is off and his legs are shot.....he was cramping up the last game.(i know the feeling having cramped up at the last uk basketball get together)

anyway, the guy looks really good. I'm so anxious for everyone to get healthy and gel cuz the balance is beautiful now.....

say whatever u want about AH, I want him gone for a 1st rounder =D

Yeah I notice that right away, Im thinking Zbo all over again. Im not buying MDA gave him the freeway ( forget green light) to jack up shots at will. When your down by that much everybody wants to go one on one and never works unless your hot, it's such a bad habit in the nba.

tim thomas has been worse on d than crawford and zbo combines

False. There is nobody worse than Crawford.

watch Tiny Tim try to play defense sometime... the guy doesn't wanna move his feet... at least Jamal will get a steal every now & again... Fugazy just doesn't care to give any effort at all... he's content to shoot up jumpers & never ever gets back on D when the other team goes on the fastbreak.
