Dude played very well in the World Games or at least that was my understanding.

Westbrook, Rose had good things to say.

And I believe he started.

Anyone?

while his shooting was off, he was the second highest sorer to durant and second in assists to rose (28 to 29) while having fewer turnovers (9 to 14).

I really think his current performance is just because of his injury. Damn Dwight. I think he should be ok as soon as the thigh bruise goes away.

Billups has gas in the tank... I have no doubt. The problem is he's a 1 year rental at best. Does anyone think for one second the plan is anything aside from aquire as many assets as possible this offseason so we can put out a big package for a 3rd big player? Like OK4 and Ariza for some young guys and Billup's expiring deals?

Billups played the offguard at the Worlds. There were some strucutral flaws to the roster, but he tended to handle the ball when the pressur ewas on, as well as look for his shot. He was a key cog

fishmike ....seriously man? You know the plan....as to whether or not it's the best thing for the Knicks now that is a different question. LaLa laid it all out last summer ...you know who wears the pants. It sure as hell doesn't include a center.

Bill Simmons on Tyreke Evans "The prototypical 0-guard: Someone who handles the ball all the time, looks for his own shot, gets to the rim at will and operates best if his teammates spread the floor to watch him."
