he's definitely not losing it to a third string PG. Rodriguez may yet be good but he has a lot to prove. I'm just hoping he and TD can split minutes with DuDu

What string is Duhon? He's a starter literally in name only.

Isn't Duhon shooting like 20% in the last couple of months?

Ya'll be gassin' up S-Rod as the next Nash, well get his ass on the court! Duhon's time is up.

My fear is that there's a very good reason he hasn't been on the court.

Yeah the hype is clearly off Rodriguez. If he was the guy that people thought he was, he would still be a Blazer let alone a Knick now.

Also, because we've gone smaller now with JJ gone we'll see some more of Gallo and Chandler at the 4 meaning more of House and anyone else tall enough to be part of a 3-guard rotation at the 3.

So...get ready for a lot of 3-guard lineups during games. Hell, I could even see Sergio-Duhon-Douglas out there at times.

So they will all play. It won't be pretty, but, that's not what these final games are about now are they.

Dude, it's take 50 games for Douglas to get in. If he was gonna replace Duhon, he would have already, b/c of his awful slump. Get this through your head. Douglas ain't getting playing time, and Duhon will either be the starter or backup.

Rahat Huq: Primarily what he brings, contrary to popular belief, is passing. For McGrady, the passing will always be there – he’s the best passing wing this league has ever seen, rivaled only by James. It was remarkable to see that even in his regressed state, he could still effectively create plays for his teammates. Just absolutely remarkable. He can hold the ball at the key, in stationary position, and blindly hit cutters without needing to actually beat his man off the dribble. He also never makes mistakes. It’s never been mentioned, but as far as court IQ, he’s in the league’s top 99th percentile.

Mike: As I said earlier, one way I would advocate the Knicks acquiring McGrady was if he were able to push Duhon to the bench...

Rahat:

2.Playing point guard – At this point in Tracy’s career, based on what I saw in those games, I think he can only be effective in this league as a point guard. He doesn’t shoot well enough to justify a role at the ‘2.’ If he’s on the court, to offset some of the negatives, you want to be utilizing his passing for a net gain. So I could see him as sort of an extreme-new-age version of Ron Harper (of Chicago Bulls three-peat fame) going forward.

Have you lost your mind today?

The season is over. The trade deadline has passed. Duhon's minutes are getting cut. Douglas will play. Sergio will play. House will play. Nate and his minutes are gone. Fishlips and his minutes are gone. They will all play because no more Nate at the guard positions and no more FishLips up front which means Chandler will be seeing a lot more at the 3 and 4 cutting his 2G minutes....which opens up minutes for the guards.

We will also see less and less 38min+ games from multiple players. No reason to kill them when the season is winding down.

These guys are going to play.

season isn't over as far as MDA is concerned... they're still trying to get back into this playoff race, belee dat... Duhon will still see a big chunk of minutes for the rest of the season until we're mathematically eliminated... all that BS MDA spilled the other day about playing Jordan Hill & Toney Douglas more minutes for the rest of the season is now void with T-Mac joining the fold.
