Something about Duhon just feels too passive. Words are inadequate as this feeling has more to do with his playing personality more than anything. Whatever his flaws are, no one can ever question Mr Robinson's heart, or the effort he brings on a nightly basis. Nate comes ready to go. Our Knicks need a backcourt player who can dictate the flow - not settle into one at the beginning of a game, or at the end . Certainly, his height is a liability whenever he gets posted, but hopefully The Mayor can come to his rescue and everyone will talk on dee.

Go strong or go home.

Mr. Earl, one of the few times we're in 90% agreement.

As for the Mayor, duke really needs to step up the aggressiveness.
This guy is probably one of the strongest and best drivers on the team,
yet all he's doing is shooting 3's.

Panos - give The Mayor a minute. His recovery from surgery is incomplete.

If you have ever gone under the knife, you understand how it changes how you perceive your limitations.

With that said, assertiveness can also come on the defensive end, Chandler's block on the Celtics layup was a nasty hustle play.

jimimou - thank you. It was only minor knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

I don't know how dudes some back to play professional sports without serious drugs, muscle stimulants or growth hormones within mere weeks.

No freakin way

Earl,

I think it is clear that Nate is going to get more minutes. Duhon only plays well every 3rd game. Nate brings it every night. If he continues to improve on defense, as he has in the preseason, then MDA will have no choice but to give him 30 minutes a game. I really like this team, without Curry. If Darko can find his offense and Jeffries can continue to hit open shots, I think we are looking at a 40+ season.

Q. Martin - does this mean you are still in preseason posting form?

A. Yes, but I'm working on game conditioning with extra laps after practice. (Thanks for the well wishes) it is a long season and I can't afford to rush back before I am one hundred per cent. You also have my word that I will adhere to the strict (cough) ethical standards of UK and submit to any drug testing deemed necessary.

It's a new season, finally.

Let my people run

Nothing scares Nate Robinson.
You give him more minutes he will give you more minutes of the best that Nate Robinson can be.
End of story.

Shall we re-visit last summer? Maybe. I felt there was no reason to sign Duhon and felt we should, in a known throwaway year, just give Nate the ball and see what he could do.

Maybe we should have. I don't know. Duhon does some good things and in a calming way.

"Period"? and with the condescending finger-wag?
